Well, the Dogcast is back and will now be back to featuring very heavily on the Soundcloud, been taking a break whilst working on the label but now they're going to be coming at you on a more regular basis.
First up is Birmingham based UK DJ/Producer Jem Atkins, Jem had a massive hit last year with Darius Syrossian remixing one his tracks "Pushin' On" which was one of my favourite tracks of the year. I actually thought, like most people that approach Jem that he was from the States, Chicago or somewhere like that going by his style. Turns out he's from Birmingham and was all up for representing his city.
Anyway, try and sit back and enjoy the next 90 minutes, although it'll get you off your seat for sure.
JEM ATKINS BIO
DJing on the circuit since '86, Walsall (UK) born DJ/Producer Jem Atkins hit the House scene early with his first released way back in '93. By mid 90's Jem held residencies at Crunch, Wobble, Ministry Of Sound Bar, Fun, C.R.E.A.M, Godskitchen, S.L.A.G and Atomic Jam (Bham), Goodbye Cruel World (Leics), Sugar (Leamington Spa), with many guest DJ slots around the country and overseas.
His own label Havana records was the main source for releases but worked with Fabric, Soulfuric and Back2Basics to name a few. The turn of 2000 witnessed a big change in Jem's career. "Music just didn't fit with what style I represented, so took a back seat and started playing more back room/ Bar room sets which took me back to my Soul, Funk, Hip Hop roots. I even became a father so being close to home suited me."
Cue the second generation of House Music lovers, and time for Jem to get back on the production trail.
Within a few months DJ Sneak had signed Jem to his Magnetic label, closely followed by Arthouse, Guesthouse, Greenhouse, Erase and Supersexy, expect to hear a lot more in the coming months.
