Biography

[edit | edit source]

Deluxe grew up in North London and worked at Time Is Right Records at the age of 14 and debuted for Ministry of Sound as a DJ in replacement of CJ Mackintosh before he turned eighteen.[4] In 1994, Deluxe met Omar Amidora, a graphic designer and Andy Lysandrou, the label owner of Boogie Beat.[4] In a joint venture, they launched Ice Cream Records, a record label and released a number of EPs as R.I.P. Productions.[4] In 1997, Amidora and Deluxe had a number 14 hit single on the UK Singles Chart with "RipGroove" under the name Double 99.[5] In 2001, Deluxe pursued a solo career as a music producer, with "Sirens" as his debut single.[4] The song was signed to Darren Emerson's record label Underwater Records.[3][4] In 2002, Deluxe released his most successful single "It Just Won't Do", which features the vocals of singer-songwriter Sam Obernik.[6][4] Alongside his production career, his deejaying had seen more success with gigs in the United Kingdom.[4] In 2003, Deluxe released his debut studio album The Little Ginger Club Kid and held an exclusive residency in Ibiza.[4] His second and third studio albums titled Ego Death and The Radicle were released in 2006 and 2015 respectively.[7][8][9][10]
