DJ Ziggy

spins Funk, Soul, Disco, Hip Hop, Indie/Rock, Deep & Funky House, R&B and Street Soul.

Influenced by the original breaks from early Jazz, Funk and Reggae playing straight up sets or many styles across the board. Frequently travelling across the UK from his base in Leeds, Ziggy is a well-known DJ in many clubs with his talents taking him to New York several times supporting many big names.

Allthough Ziggy has worked with many illustrious names (including scratching on Kylie Minogue's Fever tour 2002), he has played many private parties and weddings for Hi-Life over the past 4 years, always bringing the house down, whether playing a popular music set or something more eclectic. Ziggy is also an excellent indie / rock DJ.

Dan Moore

Dan mixes all forms of quality electronic music and classic music from all decades.

As a resident and promotor of Leeds club night Superconductor he has played with some of the great names in electronic music. DJs like Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Francois K, Andrew Weatherall & Laurent Garnier are just a few of the names Dan has worked with over recent years. Anyone who has been to any of the historic nights Superconductor promoted will have witnessed his extraodinary talent first hand.

Playing a party Dan is an expansive DJ, covering most styles of music retro and modern.

Dan is now based in Edinburgh, expanding Hi-life's presence to north of the border. He is however prepared to travel south for the right party!

Darren Baxter

Darren plays across the board from classic soul & funk to indie, electro & house.

Darren has been one of the main DJs at Hi-Life for the past couple of years now. He has masses of experience doing parties & weddings, as well as bar/club situations.

He can turn his hand to many styles & uses the latest technology in Serato to give full hands on mixing.

Whether he's playing a straight up party set, or something more eclectic he can move seemlessly between styles. Even adding some scratching if needed (he started out as a funk/hip hop DJ over on the east coast.)

Darren is always a popular DJ, with many repeat bookings from clients.

Jim Bluefoot

DJ Jim plays across the board quality party music from Funk, Indie Rock, Motown, Hip Hop, Disco, Electro, Salsa, Reggae, Drum n Bass, Rock and Party Classics.

Anyone who has visited any of the cooler bars in Leeds over the past few years (Norman, Milo, North Bar, Oporto, the Wardrobe, Townhouse) will probably be a fan already.

Having spent 13 years as a professional club and bar DJ, Jim has built up the skills and techniques to mix up one of the broadest collections of quality music you may ever hear.

Although not the average cheesy mobile DJ he is always willing to discuss your needs and any tunes you especially want played.

Jim prides himself on smooth professionalism whether you want to cut up rugs or chill with a groovy vibe...

Alex Bowen

Alex mixes underground disco, fusion & jazz funk

Having worked with me as a partner in Soul Alley records, Alex is probably more well known for his residency at the well respected Superconductor in Leeds. Luminaries such as Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Andrew Weatherall and Jeff Mills to name a few have graced this night, as well as crowds far exceding the 500 mark.

Disco and its original ethos has always been a major influence on his musical tastes but rest assured you won't hear hear any Abba or Village People here. What you will hear is anything from the widely known sounds of Chic & Loletta Holloway to the more underground sounds coming from the USA in the early to mid 70's.

Never one to stick to a particular sound however, Alex takes things a stage further, mixing it up with latin beats, house grooves, dancefloor jazz/funk, bumpin' soul and maybe the odd 80's classic or indie tune thrown in for good measure.

Ben Jacobs

Ben plays electro, rave & across the board styles.

This is one of our younger DJ's who is cerainly not lacking any ability or experience! From Club Events to Classy Weddings and Radio Work, Ben has built up the skills and techniques to mix up some of the funkiest sets of quality music you may ever hear.

DJBJ is by no means your average cheesy mobile DJ and always gives a performance to be remembered. He is an ideal choice for 18th / 21st birthday events, being able to combine playing the latest sounds with some dancefloor classics.

Ben prides himself on smooth mixing and complete professionalism whether you want to rave to electro or enjoy a wedding with style...

Mark Hepworth

As founder of Hi-Life I am the only one with the privilege of writing my own revue.

As a DJ my strength is my massive music knowledge, spanning 6 decades.

I have run and co-owned 2 record shops - most recently being Soul Alley in the Grand Arcade in Leeds, selling to DJs, collectors and enthusiasts of all types of quality music past and present. I am equally happy playing at retro set of Northern Soul and Motown, as I am playing modern Electro House or Indie.

I have played hundreds of gigs over the last few years, both at private functions and in bar / club environs.
