"It started in 1988 when I teamed up with the Mix Kid (we were also know as the Parana Brothers for a while - Doug & Dinsdale), we used to do mixing using nothing more sophisticated than a twin tape deck. We would play a snippet from one tape to the other and then another from a different bit of music. This would go on until the mix was completed, the process being known as 'bouncing'
Then in 1998 came Sounds From The South. This started as a solo project, after moving back home. Later a friend moved in and we were going to start up together but we ever actually recorded anything together...all that remains is an album that I recorded on my own and another tape of remixes that I did myself.
After this nothing musical happened in my life for a number of years until in 2006 by Deja Vue, my third project. This started off by me doing cover songs. In fact I produced six albums worth. As these were never released, they have all been deleted. I then went onto think about some of my other favourite influences like The Art of Noise, Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre, and decided I wanted to move more into the field of playing electro music. The result of this was the album Retro-Electro. A combination of eight styles of electro music including dance, techno, DnB and disco. I finished the album in early August 2007. Around this time I had met up with my old friend The Mix Kid, and although we had remained friends throughout the years, had not colaborated since the early days. After playing a demo of the CD and talking for a while he agreed to join the band. The Mix Kid (DJ Ears, Steve) composes / produces and will be doingthe groove and drum box programming for the band.
I still do the remixing as DJ GK and I do my own production work under the name of LHP (Long Hall Productions).
Are next step is to get some more tracks ready for a second album and to get managed/promoted and signed to a label" -- Gaz (DJ GK)

Deja Vue is currently UNSIGNED and looking for a deal and promotion

Just to let you know we have completed another two tracks, with a third hopefully being completed. These tracks are currently un-named but when the three are finished our favourite one will be uploadd onto here.

We are still unsigned and would like to hear from any DJ, radio station, or other outlet interested in playing our music or of course any record label, promoter, A&R people, music agent or others who can help us "get there"
