UK DJ/ Producer / Remixer and all-round studio boffin, known to his mates as Raj Gupta, is definitely not a new boy on the Disco Dance scene. He landed his first 12" Number One in '96 on Noid Recordings gaining widespread support in the clubs and on compilations. Over ten years on it's still a much sought after underground classic.
He went on to set up his own record label Mangled in '98 unleashing a slew of highly collectable 12" releases. Two albums followed 'Mangled' on Eskimo Recordings and later 'Mangled Again' on his own imprint along with singles on R & S, Bear Funk & Smash Hit. Recently his release on DFA saw him offer P-Funk with a Disco House twist made for the dance floor (Bullet Proof feat the brilliant Lady Miss Kier) and a blissed out Balearic gem ('Look Into My Eyes' which featured on the Ministry Underground Disco Compilation).
Add to this a list of other projects / collaborations through the years (including Block 16 and Motif for seminal 90's UK label Nuphonic Records, as Laj with the Idjut Boys on U-Star or Quakerman on their own Fiasco imprint) along with some close musical acquaintances (The Glimmers, Foolish Felix, Lee Tong, Nathan D'Troit) and you have one of the most prolific contributors to the Boogie/Disco/House canon this side of the nineties.
Recent gigs include London, Manchester, Tokyo, Yokohama, Kiev, Amsterdam, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Stockholm, Helsinki, Berlin, Istanbul, Munich, Parma, Bucharest and Paris.
