2007 was the year Simon's reputation sky rocketed, and became a major player on the worldwide dj circuit, while also holding down quality residencies at some of the UK's most acclaimed underground House nights, Asylum & Technique at The Warehouse Leeds, and DDD at The Key , London.
BUCKLEY:
DJ’ing and producing on an international level, UK based Buckley is known for his quality underground sets that span across all things house. A long-standing resident at legendary northern club Back2Basics in Leeds, which has span for the last 5 years. Last year saw Buckley embark on a residency at WeLove Space in Ibiza, as well as playing in Singapore, Thailand, Egypt, Hong Kong, Italy, and the infamous Panorama Bar in Berlin as he continues on the journey that began over a decade ago. Back in the early 90's Buckley started playing for trend-setting UK clubs, Renaissance and The Hacienda - the revolutionary Manchester night run by Mike Pickering and the place where anything went. It was here that bizarre cabaret acts worked alongside indie, northern soul, motown and house music, and where Buckley became part of the unforgettable experience felt by everyone who went. Following this Buckley was asked to guest DJ at almost every credible club in the country at that time including Ministry Of Sound, Gatecrasher, Cream, UK Midlands, and Colours in Scotland and by the mid 90s found himself resident at Northern club nights Zero G in Nottingham, Pop in Manchester and Up Yer Ronson in Leeds, cementing his name on the exploding underground house scene. In 1999, Buckley started his in the groove dance show which he produced and presented on Radio air Leeds, for 4 years. At the same time Buckley turned his hand to a spot of promotion, setting up weekly residents night, Change @ the Mint Club, Leeds alongside house veteran Graeme Park. The night was welcomed by a dedicated Leeds fan base and after the duos parties came to an end Buckley was snapped up by Space club in Leeds where he remained for two years before making the move to Back2Basics. Now a well-loved resident at Basics, Buckley plays alongside some of the greatest names in underground house, many of whom have become good friends and even production partners. Basics marked the beginning of Buckley's production experiments and since grasping the skill his releases have remained on a steady flow. In the past as The Jackford Files on Dust Trax and as the Holy Cow with Tom Wainwright on Sony. It was in 2005, that Buckley had his first release on Jesse Rose’s imprint Made to Play. The storming success of Bloc Party/ The Jam enjoyed no less than five plays at Space closing that summer. As well as rocking the international house charts it gained number 22 in Mix Mag’s top 100 tracks of 2006. Buckley made his own debut at Space in Ibiza in 2004 and played twice more in 2005, since then he has become a fond favourite with the Balearic crowds and headed over for his first residency for We Love last year in 2006. That summer saw him awarded ‘man of the match’ twice by the We Love team, one of them being the closing party, playing alongside DJ’s such as Danny Tenaglia and Layo & Bushwacka. This year he returns to Ibiza for his second residency. Though his schedule is full there is no question of his regular appearances at Back2Basics in Leeds, and wherever his, its certain Buckley will remain true to his house music roots, with a humble passion and warm approach that is an inspiration to DJ's the World over.
