Ironworks & Intensity presents Judge Jules 26th June
Support from Graeme Platt (Intensity), Ross Lyall (Filth) & Mike McDonald
Judge Jules began DJing professionally back in 1987. He was quickly hired by the then-pirate radio station Kiss FM. He has been on Radio 1 since October 1997. When he first arrived, his show went out between 17:00 and 19:00 on Saturday evenings, ahead of Danny Rampling's show. In 2003, after the departure of Seb Fontaine from the station, his show was moved to between 19:00 and 21:00 on Saturday nights, ahead of Tim Westwood. The show was widely advertised as "The Weekend Warm-Up". The show kept this slot until September 2007.During those four years, he played a mixture and more commercial and underground tracks. The first segment of the show were taken by the Cut-Up Boys, who did a ten-minute mix featuring several dance tracks and acappellas playing simultaneously. The rest of the first hour was generally taken up by house music and the second hour featured trance music, although if they were broadcasting the show outside the studio, the music might vary.
In September 2007, the show was moved to 01:00 to 03:00 every Saturday morning. Because of Jules' DJ commitments on Friday evenings, his show was now pre-recorded instead of being broadcast live. From September 2008, the show was moved forward by 2 hours to 23:00 to 01:00 every Friday evening. The reason for the move was the departure of Dave Pearce, whose Dance Anthems show was moved to BBC 6 Music. His show attracts a wide audience from around the world due to Radio 1's online internet connections and the Sirius Satellite Radio network out in the US and Canada. Through the radio show, he is responsible for launching many popular trance tunes and acts in the UK, and is a pioneer for commercial contemporary dance music. Many people send their unreleased tracks to him. According to his own website, he receives between 250-300 promos per week.
His Radio 1 show is produced by independent production company Somethin' Else, he also has an internationally-syndicated radio show called "The Global Warm Up" (also produced by Somethin' Else)which can be heard across the US, Russia, Europe and the Middle East. Jules produces his own music - his wife has appeared on a few of these. She provided vocals for the group Angelic, which was a grouping between Judge Jules and Darren Tate. They had two hits, "It's My Turn" in 2000 and "Can't Keep Me Silent" in 2001. In 2005, she appeared once more on the track "Without Love", which was by Judge Jules himself. This track was eventually released, with remixes, on the Maelstrom Records label in 2007. Jules has also released two albums via this label, "Proven Worldwide" in 2006 and "Bring The Noise" in 2009. Elsewhere, he has collaborated several times with Paul Masterson under the Hi-Gate name.
