Jimmy is born on August 17th in Luik aka Liege in Belgium. As his parents were boatmen he had to attend boarding school from the age of 6 onwards. To overcome the loneliness of boarding school his parents bought him a walkman. That event literally plugged him in in music! 
He listened a lot to music via tapes and the radio and developed a health preference house music. 
After a long period of nagging and begging his parents he finally got the best birthday present ever on his 15th birthday: a music mixer and double deck cd player. Every free second of his time went into his devotion to music. 
2 years later Jimmy got the chance to prove himself at a cool club in Antwerp: Het Eilandje. 
Success was immediate: he got his first residency!

Not long before he got interested in making his own music. With his savings Jimmy bought his first PC with a sound card and a Korg keyboard. After a few years he discovered his own sound and at the beginning of 2004 he released his first record: Jim-Y - Digital Trumpets. In the meantime he was working on a project with his best friend Ruly. Jimmy had finished a new demo for which he had the perfect voice in mind and boldly he sent it over under the project name R & Y to his favorite vocalist and singer. And guess what! Only 2 weeks later he got contacted by Jan Johnston. Jan had already written the lyrics and called for a date to do the recordings for this song, that is how R&Y Meets Jan Johnston - Its Cold Outside was born. 
This single was released in 2007 with remixes from Filterheadz and Sied van Riel. 
In 2008 Morning On The Terrace got released on the label Bonzai Fiesta. 
At the end of 2008, Ruly decided to stop with the project, and that was when Jim-Y changed into Jimmy Galle. Jimmys sound was different as a solo dj/producer. After this period different productions and remixes appeared on different labels.

Jimmy has plaid and is still playing in many known Clubs and on many events such as: Noxx, La Rocca, Cafe D’ Anvers, Industria, Chakra Party, The Factory, Lazurra, Petrol, De Rodenburg (NL), TranccSession, Playboy Deluxe, De Cinema, Space, Wicked, BBC, De Kaai, Red & Blue, Turbulance….

After finishing high school, Murat Uncuoglu started working in a record store, importing foreign LPs and the first CDs to Istanbul. Collecting a vast knowledge of contemporary dance music, he was soon approached with offers to DJ at private parties. In 1987, he began accepting the offers and started his DJing career. He soon got his first residency at Hadigari in the city of Bodrum.

Later on, Murat’s desire to become a professional DJ and producer took him to what was then the heart of electronic music, London. He studied sound engineering and production at Media Productions and was a regular at London’s clubs. While in London, Murat worked as a sound engineer for several international producers, including Marshall Jefferson. He also continued his DJ career and performed at exclusive parties and local clubs.

Returning to Istanbul in 1994, Murat embarked on multiple projects. He was recruited as a resident DJ at Club 2019 in Istanbul, and co-founded Radio 2019, the first electronic music radio station in Turkey.

Steady Pace is Accatone’s debut album, a personal journey and view on house music, what it means, what it stands for and what it should be about, in a steady pace, like the title suggests.

The writing process was long, but the outcome is stunning and comes in a very subtle and elegant way.

Steady Pace is a bold statement in the deep house contemporary scene, with tracks ranging from chilled out breaks, to slow-mo nu-disco, passing by deep house hypnotic beats and ending in trippy house experiments.

Juan Gonzalez aka Wonji is born in Brooklyn, New York 1972 is one of four sons in a family of musicians who started his music career playing the trumpet in jr. high band. With these early skills in music he soon started playing other instruments including, guitars, drums, most brass instruments and soon after at the age of 14 discovered turntables. Hip Hop was one of his biggest infuences at that time and encouraged him to think of creative ways to hear and play sounds from the tables. Soon after he started playing private parties, events andsuch.But there seemed to be something missing…..

At the age of 17 he decided to move to South Florida, Miami and this is where he was introduced to The House Sound. With a past in latin music, disco and R&B, Wonji decided to twist and meld these sounds together in his live sets which led him to move to his next step: Producing. 

By 1999 House music had evolved so much with many new and updated sounds Wonji could not resist getting involved in production. 
Musical instruments changed so the music changed, the scenes changed so I had to try and keep up with all the new styles, says Wonji. 
Fascinated by the past music and sounds of The Hunger, Front 242, and later DJs like John Digweed, Timo Mass and so on, it was only a matter of time till he started producing his own work.

With an ever evolving sound, Wonji will for sure be around in the music scene for a while. Never passing up new musical possibilities and changing the way music is to be played. 
Wonji says about himself: Making people move and groove, thats all I want to do.

AU Orange is proud to present its third release. Deepest than ever, Tiago Ribeiro’s “Grooviest Cat” is an EP full of surprises, containing the original version and 3 wonderful remixes from Joao Teixeira (Portugal), Filipa Rebelo (Portugal) and Jazzam (Ecuador).

Tiago Ribeiro made its original version very pleasant to classic deep-house lovers with its “chicago beat style” fused with delayed saxophone sounds, typical delayed house music female shouts and the unusual using of “mafia style” vocals and flute sounds. This very simple composition has been tested and approved in the dance floor, making the crowd move to its groove.

Joao Teixeira, portuguese DJ and house music producer is the newest acquisition on our artist team. His remix shown how perfectly he fits AU Orange’s philosophy, delivering his meaningful mix, enabling the listener to take a trip while listening to his track. Beautifully sculpted, this version is marked by its random sounding percussion and every little detail in its production, from the usage of the right sounding pads and stabs, ambience violins and brilliant vocal treatment. We asked, Joao delivered!

Filipa Rebelo presented a solid sounding mix with a beautiful composition between different synth sounds, building a beautiful sounding deep-house track. Very well produced, this mix has a different basis, changing the classic “chicago house beat” with very powerful and effective new-school percussion. Once more Filipa’s done it and made her magic, grabbing the “old schoolish’ original mix and recreating in a completely different way, while keeping all its feelings and beauty.

Jazzam brought to the EP his techie vision of “Grooviest Cat”, spicing it to ground shaking levels! If every version in this EP has its own hour to be played, Jazzam’s version is definitely the 6AM version. Outrageously dance-floor effective, this mix counts with beautifully synthesized arp’s and great overall arranging and its our big trump to hit the most demanding crowds.
