Audio Jacker

Grahame (Audio Jackers) was born to start, make and finish a party. His loud, energetic power packed party driven sets have crowd and the man himself jumping up and down. His Energy behind the decks is phenomenal and his selection of record always draws from the old and new, combined with his love of a trick or too on the CDJ and efx50, to give a really eclectic fun night. From the beginning of 2007 Grahame started work on a solo project from his Audio Jackers partner Ian, to develop and progress on his own sound and What a way to start the year by warming up for the Chemical Brothers at Turnmills NYE party, then in January was asked to provide a mix for there Together Podcast which was hugely successful and had massive praise. His Jack Digitals and Jacks Law labels go from strength to strength and are now coming up on twenty releases, with all the previous having massive support and kudos from the press. From the together podcast mix Grahame landed a new residency in London in the form of hot new night Chalk/Neon at The Scarla. Playing at Chalk/Neon allows Grahame to plunge in to his massive music knowledge, This knowledge comes from a long love of indie and anything alternative crossed with his love for beats and noisy dance music. Grahame was brought up on a balance of Queen, The Beatles and the Carpenters. His first record buying actually came in the brit pop years. Blur and Oasis were killing each other with inflatable sheep and pulp was telling us about a disco in 2000. Before that Disco came in 2000 Grahame had already found Ibiza and people like Josh wink, Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers were shaping his love of electronic beats and this background allows him to weave indie with electro and techno. This interweaving of genres creates a loud power packed loud combination of sounds which has crowds jumping. Also in 2007 Grahame has rocked the massive London warehouse party ISSST at Easter and played for 4 Hours when ISSST hosted the back room at Type in The Cross and even managed to host a room at Turnmills. In the next month Grahame is playing at Koko in Camden at Roger Sanchez Release Yourself party as the Headline act in room 2 and in July is performing for 8 Hours at a secret venue in Milton Keynes. At the end of January came the launch of Grahame’s first production in Rankors Theme on his Jack Digitals Label the record had massive support from acid house legend Justin Robertson and the massive John Acquaviva to name but a few. The all-digital record label Jack Digitals which now boasts a stable of 11 international DJs & producers and is a regular feature on the front pages of Beatport. The label has had huge success with their own first release picking up support from Darren Emerson, Hernan Cattaneo, Nic Fancuilli, Sander van Doorn, and Deepgroove to name just a few. The Label continues to grow and consume more & more of their time. The label is now a year old and continues to grow and has sprouted a sub label Jacks Law for more live acts and non digital acts. Already signed to the new label are a 7 piece dance band from Lincoln called Kadence. Both Labels have had great feedback from the magazines regularly scoring highly in reviews for each release. Jack Digitals records have been played on radio 1 by Fergie last year and Grahame made a appearance on Ministry of Sound radio at prime time on a Friday night on the Tania von Pear show to talk about the Digital label market and the adventures of running a digital label and there was even time for a cheeky hotmix including all Jack Digitals records naturally. Looking forward Grahame’s remix of Little Jo’s Puppy dog is getting a good following from the indie crowds and next up he is remixing Wonderland by the Winterkids with Bobby M from ISSST. Audio Jackers met 6 years ago and consist of Grahame Farmer and Ian Callaghan, in a sweaty underground club in Milton Keynes and for the past 3 years have played and produced a superb blend of electronic music and indie, rock and anything else that’s a bit fun or pumping. When the equipment is available 4 decks, 2 mixers and 2 EFX are their thing. Both Ian and Grahame love being behind the decks and will jump on at any given time and push the tempo and sound in eclectic new directions. "We booked these guys as our headline act, They turned up early, rewired the entire booth adding gods know what extra equipment and rocked the floors for their entire set you couldnt tell who was doing what! well worth it as a b2b in our eyes” Brendan, CityBeats "Grahame played down at my first Kult of ISSST party and properly rocked it! Played exactly the kinda sh1t I'm into and our crowd loved it - one to watch for sure." Bobby M - ISSST/Slaang
