Mungo - Bar & Club

// Dan Wagstaff

Dan has been djing since the tender age of 15, starting out mixing trance and hard house. After playing various house partys and Bar 72 in Wakefield, In 2005 his music style was developing towards stylish funky house. He was then given the opportunity to play at Mungo's sister bar Jardys, where he was a weekly resident, after a year of successfull friday nights it was time for the birth of Mungo, where he was to become the first resident to play the bar. With the music scene changing towards electro house, Dans style embraced the new wave of dirtier beats. With his emphasis always on smooth mixing coupled with a selection of massive floorfillers, the bar started to go from strength the strength, and with this the interest from club promoters was growing. After only a few months into the residency, he secured a number of sets playing at Filth (Leeds), Jakanory @ the legendary stinkys in leeds, and played a set at Kanya Bar in Ibiza. Since then this year has brought more interest and he has already played at Religion in Leeds and is booked to play Dawn Chorus in Huddersfield. During his relatively short djing career he has played alongside many of todays top names in the industry, including Kate Lawler, Micky Slim, D&G, Ian Carey, Marc Leaf and Tom Murgatroyd to name but a few. His residency @ Mungo continues into 2008 and a bright future can only be expected.

My jorney first started in my town at a venue called beyon beach babylon, where i warmed up for old galaxy dj alex pepper this was back in 1997, it was amazing my first time dj'in in a club. I then moved on to my next stepping stone club non huddersfield where i was given the job of resident dj on a thursday night with harvey westwood...Then in 1999 my brother and i was offerd a residency at heaven & hell (leeds) while we were in leeds we were both offered a residency @ casa loco so once we finished at 4am we used to go down lady lane to (casa loco) and dj 6 til 8am. which was wicked...

During our time at the heaven & hell leeds we were asked to open the new stockport h & h which we did with pleasure.. it then spiraled out of control opening barnsley and the one in my home town huddersfield.... Time has moved on a lot since then duing which i have played at tube (halifax) , revs hudds & leeds, juice (bradford), old corn mill (hudds) the mill preston. In 2006 i got a residency @ Bagleys in ayia napa on the island of cyprus. where i spent 4 months with sun sea and yes you guessed it sex ha ha. I Returned in aug 2006 where i was offered a new residency for housexy @ ministry of sound harrogate on a friday night which was like a dream come true...On saturdays i got a job @ opus in manchester where i spent 12 months.

// Fabi

Fabi' passion for music started at the age of the 13 when he got his first pair of decks and started playing hard house in his bedroom as he started to go clubbing to places like The Old Corn Mill,Casa Loco's, Glasshouse and Niche his music style developed into vocal bassline house style, and he gained his first residency for Off The Wall at the Cornmill unfortunately it shut down but he went on to get weekly residencies at the Tube in Halifax and the Boilerhouse in Bradford as well as many guest slot's all over the north of England including playing for Bass Factory at Tall Tree's Yarn and as far down as Birmingham. Since going over to Ibiza in 2006 Fabi developed a taste for the dirty twisted sounds of electro and the crowd's that went with it and deceided to start playing electro when he got back to the uk,he likes to play late night sets and whip the crowd into a frenzy with his style of twisted vocal bouncy electro.

// Mark Osikka

Hello, I first caught the House Music Bug way back in 1989 initially after hearing 'Ride On Time' by Black Box. At The Start I just collected and Clubbed to the tunes from the Early Nineties, starting with Italian House Music, early techno and then the Handbag house era. This brought me to visit The Hacienda, Angels, Shellys the early Blackburn raves, Life at Bowlers, Up yer Ronson, SOAK, Bedrooms, Back to Basics and Casanovas to name but a few. It was in this Era while Jumping around like an idiot on numerous dancefloors I took in the atmosphere and slowly learnt what made a crowd tick, while in the middle of it. I decided to Give it a bash and see if i could emulate how i felt from a DJ point of view. Starting with the Learning Process. Tune Selection and The Art of Mixing. I wanted to reproduce how i felt on the DanceFloor all those years ago. A first gig was initially with a friend in Leeds at Evolution nightclub, then onto Local bars and onto the bars of Wakefield, Then the Clubs of Wakefield, then onto the Clubs of Leeds Sheffield and Hudderfield.
