FACTORY @ OPM IS PROUD TO PRESENT FRIDAY DECEMBER 15TH
QUIVVER (John Graham)
Quivver tunes are a part of every top DJ's box, and have been for some time now. From the early days of "Saxy Lady" and "Twist & Shout", right up to date with the monstrous "She Does", Quivver has been, and continues to be, one of dance music's main attractions.
Quivver was originally signed to A&M Records, where, along with writing partner Neil Barry, they released 2 tracks (as mentioned above), both making huge dents on the dance-floors of the World and gathering a massive, ever growing following for Quivver along the way. The likes of Sasha, Oakenfold, Digweed and many, many more became fans, and Quivver became a household name! During this period, John was also recording under the name of Skanna and had a label by the same name, where he released around ten tracks that reached the hearts (and record boxes) of people like Fabio and Grooverider and Doc Scott. The Skanna tunes were an outlet for John's darker side - drum and bass and deep beats - influenced by John's love of Hip Hop, Electro and all that went off in the breakbeat days of the 80's.
A shake up at A&M left Quivver free to move onto new pastures, and John at this time split with his recording partner, but continued to work under the same name. Paul Oakenfold was first off the mark in the Quivver chase, already a huge fan and seeing this extreme talent free for the taking, Paul snapped up John and signed him to his own Perfecto label. John released tunes on Perfecto, DJ'd as part of their massive tours, and continued to blossom until the demise of the label and their split with East West in '98.
Later in '98, John signed a deal with Virgin records and changed his name for recording to Stoneproof. The release of his first single, "Everything's Not You" on Virgin, came with much critical acclaim and huge support at the club level, with "The Quivver Mix" of the track being included on Northern Exposure, Resident - 2 Years of Oakenfold at Cream, Sasha's Global Underground and more!
Remixes have included Kylie “Some Kind of Bliss”, Karen Ramirez “Lies”, Jeff Wayne's "Eve of The War", Simply Red “Fairground”, Culture Club's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" and "Time", and more recently Libra's "Calling Your Name" and Danny Tenaglia's "Do You Feel My Love".
Projects in 2000 saw John release the massive "She Does" (which was included on the soundtrack for Maybe Baby), and "One Last Time" ( which was championed by Pete tong as his essential new tune). He also took up a U.S. residency (bi-monthly) @ Twilo N.Y.C, as well as new productions.
As one third of Tilt (alongside Mick Park & Mick Wilson) and global DJ escapades, John Graham has kept himself incredibly busy. There's been a whole host of Tilt live shows, wowing crowds from Cream in Liverpool and Home in London to Miami. He's been DJing in some of the worlds most inspiring locations, including a slot at the Olympic Village in Sydney and several American and South American tours. Plus, John has also found time to get creative in the studio with Sasha.
From September to December 2004, John was in Naples writing and recording vocals for Italian group Planet Funk. He wrote and sang on six songs for their second album, due for release in 2005. The first single from the album, entitled “Stop Me”, looks set to be a huge hit as it has already been licensed by Coca Cola for their current advertising campaign in Italy.
John in the meantime is busy working on material for a brand new EP for spring 2005, and has completed a Space Manoeuvres album to be released by Tirade records this year (2005). He is also compiling a mix CD to be released on Boz Boz in April 2005, and is scoring the music for The film 'Comfortably Numb' Starring Jason Flemming (of 'Snatch' and 'Lock Stock...'fame) pheww!!
From his literally underground beginnings as a coal miner in Coventry, John has carved his way over ground and continually sets new standards as one of dance music’s brightest attractions.
CHARLES FEELGOOD

Revered for his role in the birth of the electronic music scene in the Baltimore/ Washington DC area, Charles Feelgood (born Charles Fields) has earned a stellar reputation as a top-flight DJ in the international dance music community through his ingenious mixing skills and dynamic brand of funky disco house.
Feelgood grew up listening to Motown, disco and funk: genres that have all heavily influenced his personal style as an artist. "I used to stay up late listening to my dad play records and decided that was what I wanted to do," he says. Listening to 70’s dance music and later to 80’s industrial music, Feelgood began purchasing 12” records while still in high school. His first foray into the world of dance music was in the late '80s, throwing small-scale parties under the name "House of Fields."
An integral part of the Baltimore/DC style since day one, the Baltimore native is often credited with putting his local scene on the house music map. Influenced by everyone from the Basement Boys and Wayne Davis to bands including Erasure, Style Council, Pet Shop Boys, and Squeeze, Feelgood joined forces in 1992 with another major musical influence, fellow DJ Scott Henry. The duo launched Fever, a club event that introduced the sounds of electronic music to the city. The first event of its kind in Baltimore/DC region, the night exploded in popularity almost immediately, attracting upwards of 2500 people per event. Featuring such top-notch, internationally renowned stars as Paul Van Dyk and Carl Cox, the biweekly event successfully ran until May of 2001.
Maintaining a seven-year residency at Fever helped springboard Feelgood's eminently danceable brand of bangin' house to widespread acclaim throughout the country. His popularity quickly grew, thanks in part to his legendary series of mixed tapes, "Time to Get Ill," showcasing his sets with Scott Henry at Fever. “My side was housey and Scott’s was always a kind of funky techno or progressive house. We did ten volumes – to this day I don’t think I have all the releases,” Feelgood notes. On the heels of his residency and successful mix tape series, Feelgood developed a heavy touring schedule that regularly took him to famed clubs such as Sound Factory, Spundae, Shampoo, and Crobar, along with numerous other venues throughout Europe, Asia and South America.
Constantly in demand all over the world for his ability to light up dance floors with his disco-flavored sets of funk-drenched house, Feelgood has received numerous accolades in his fourteen-year career. These include being named Baltimore's Best DJ, and
inclusion in the top 40 of BPM Magazine's 2002 Top 50 DJ List. Adored by so many, the man who loves cars and thrift stores can’t help but beam, “I love my job.”
According to Feelgood, the secret to a great mix CD is recreating the club experience on vinyl. Acclaimed for his ability to seamlessly transition between club and rave atmospheres, Feelgood notes "I definitely try and take the listeners on a musical journey - I like to start out slow and funky and push for a harder ending, a continuous rise." "I'm far from a purist," he adds. "I incorporate many styles into a single set. I play everything from disco-influenced house to a cappella tracks and tech house, and I especially love bootlegs." But despite the immense popularity and critical acclaim his mixed CDs have received, he still prefers to produce original records for the artistic freedom it allows.
Feelgood’s new CD, Across America: Six Eleven DJ Mix Series V.5 boasts two of his own original tracks – “I Feel Good,” with Scotty Clausen, and “Altitude.” Across America, a very housey mix that is a bit funkier than past releases, includes a number of Latin tracks and a lot of horns. With “funky as hell” tracks such as Taka Boom featuring Chaka Khan’s “Groove Like That” and what Feelgood calls “insane basslines,” Across America is a release that Feelgood hopes will “reach the people who have given up on the scene – to get them interested and listening again.”
The consummate dance floor rocker, Feelgood sums up his musical mission in one sentence: "I just want what the name implies, to make people have a good time and go home with a great feeling."
