His sound is based in deep dubdiscohousetechno with flashes of soul and irresistible melodies that hark back to the early days of Detroit (from Motown to Planet E). Over the last few years Will has gained an admirable reputation as not only a show-stealing DJ, but also a talented A&R and producer. He™s remixed for Chicken Lips, Jesse Rose, Manuel Tur, Chymera, Solomun, Steve Lawler, Phonique and Marc Romboy to name just a few. Remixes for Appleblim, The Juan Maclean (DFA) and Cortney Tidwell are also in the pipeline and will be released before the summer. ˜Zippo' by Will and Mike Monday was released on Buzzin' Fly in February and received wide spread acclaim and notably made the top 20 in the UK independent sales chart. Will was resident at the legendary End club in London for many years before it closed it™s doors in January. He starts a new London residency at Cable in May. Will was born in Taunton, Somerset in 1978. Always surrounded by music, his musical path has developed gradually. Growing up his parents encouraged him to play the piano, sax and timpani, each of which he disliked at the time. He started buying records at eight - motown, soul, R&B, film scores - and diligently recorded the Top 40 on Sunday afternoons. Before his teens he™d begun collecting hip-hop and by sixteen was into dance. Trekking to clubs across England every weekend inspired him to get a job and save up enough cash for two turntables and a mixer. For such a passionate collector, DJing was a revelation. Two years later he won Muzik™s mixtape talent contest Bedroom Bedlam, having progressed his sound from lush, jazzy grooves and leftfield oddities to include deep, dubby breaks and brokenbeats. After two years working in Sony International™s A&R department he left to set up a label with friends. They called it Simple, to reflect their open-minded intention to release good music, of whatever genre. It was while working at the legendary Koobla records, and then the fantastic Phonica, that he had his eyes fully opened to the wonderful world of house and techno. At the time the scene was being re-invigorated by producers such as Mathew Jonson, who Will quickly employed for his first remix. Simple Records' musical focus is futuristic house and techno for the deeper end of the dance floor. As well as his own tracks, including 'Sequential Circus', 'Mbira' and 'Pause', the constant evolution of the label now sees Ian Pooley, Adam Marshall, Motorcitysoul and James Priestley & Dan Berkson joining the core roster. Over the course of 6 years and well over 50 single releases Will has commissioned remixes from Jeff Samuel, Argy, Gui Boratto, Sebo K, Isolee, Konrad Black, Jimpster, John Tejada, Tobias, Recloose, Tiger Stripes, Martin Landsky, Dixon, Roman Flugel, I:Cube and many, many more of underground house and techno's most influential producers. Look out for Will's other label of love - Aus Music, designed more for albums and the home/car/headphones. Aus explores more leftfield sounds and has developed into a home for 3 unique artists  from the live dub of Sideshow (Fink on Ninja Tune), through to the layered, undulating techno of Sian via the heart warming, richly textured grooves of Lee Jones & his MyMy project. Aus Music and Simple Records continue to go from strength to strength following autumn/new year albums from Motorcitysoul (Simple) and Lee Jones (Aus) and Sideshow. The double CD ˜Aus Music...All Night Long™ will be released in May. One CD will feature new tracks by Will and the core Aus roster along with exclusive tracks from MyMy, Roland Appel, Appleblim, Shur-I-Kan, Martyn, Brooks and an extra special remix from Lawrence. The Second CD will be a DJ mix of the Aus back cat by Will. Look out for Will™s second full artist album in Spring 2010.

SIMPLE ONE šThere are some labels in dance music that will always be associated with a certain sound. Other imprints seem able to experiment with different styles and sounds between releases without alienating anyone„.Simple fits beautifully into this category. That isn™t to say that either label or compilation doesn™t have it™s own distinctive sound. Just that the distinguishing features of that sound are more fluid grooves, cute rhythm-play, crisp melodies and taught atmospherics rather than a slavish devotion to any particular genre„this mix should be doing serious stereo rotation with deep and electronic-minded groovers well into the spring.› Tim Irwin/Leading Player/DJ
