Tastemakers - Dream Of

www.myspace.com/tastemakermusic

Based in Guildford, UK, Tastemakers are one of the hottest upcoming dance production/DJ outfits. Formed of two hugely talented producers/musicians/DJ's; Ben Preston (21) and Nathan C (22). The pair met at University in early 2006 out of a shared passion for House music and are on the sharp uprise with their work gathering support from many of the world’s leading DJ’s.
Their debut release, ‘Definition’, was originally discovered by Fergie on his BBC Radio 1 show in August 2006 when it was featured as his unsigned track of the week. The pair consequently received numerous offers before it was snapped up by Born to Dance Records in Brighton. The track received the remix treatment from Noir and plenty of support from many leading DJ’s including: Bodyrox, Stondebridge, Chris Lake, Micky Slim, Martijn Ten Velden, Noir, Funkagenda, Paul Emmanuel and Kid Massive.
The boys then went on to remix for the UK’s biggest dance label; Ministry of Sound’s Data Records imprint. Their dubby remix of Mason’s “Exceeder” became a popular fixture in many DJ’s CD wallets and the track hit the official UK singles chart at number 3. They have since been remixing for numerous artists that include: Yoav, Filly, Sound De-Zign, Amanda Wilson, Denis the Menace & Big World, Chungking, Strobe, Carnival and Hydraulic Dogs.
More recently, Tastemakers have signed their track “Dream Of” to Gusto Recordings – one of the UK’s leading dance labels. The release includes mixes from The Young Punx and Ali Payami and is scheduled for a summer 2008 release.

Their recent bootleg “Just Make Love” has received big support on Radio 1 with airplay on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection. Supporters on this track already include Judge Jules, Wez Clarke (Hed Kandi), Steven Quarre (Hed Kandi), Brandon Block, The BeaThiefs, Mike Manzella (Miss Moneypennies) and Patrick Hagenaar (Housexy).

Since graduating from University in August 2007 the pair have been working on a debut album project, collaborating with writers and singers such as Laura Vane (The Streets), Therese (Stonebridge), Shelly Poole (Alisha’s Attic), Alexander Perls (Paul van Dyk) and Joe Killington (‘My My My’ – Armand Van Helden). Once completed, the boys will be taking the album on the road and develop themselves as a live act, in a similar vein to Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada and Faithless.

Reactions:
"Still at uni, they should have more important things to do than make big, whoomping electro tracks. You know, like drink cheap lager and watch way too much telly. Instead, they've done 'Definition', which sounds like a soon-to-be-successful, commercial electro house record." – One Week to Live
