Jerome Hill

Jerome has been collecting all forms of music and Djing since 1990. He was part of the infamous JIBA soundsystem in London around 1994-99 and developed his scratching and mixing style to become on of the most original DJs on the underground circuit. He began getting booked by promoters and has played alongside luminaries including Richie Hawtin, Phuture 303, DJ Rolando, Anthony Rother, Neil Landstrumm and Suhhead. He plays a mixture of everything encompassing strains of techno, Hip Hop, old Hardcore and everything in between… but with a special twist!!

He is resident DJ at Ugly Funk club night now based in London and plays every weekend around the UK, as well as Italy, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Venezuela and France.

Jerome also run Trackheadz record shop in Camden Town, specialising in techno and electro and is the successor to Dragon Discs which closed down due to the area being redeveloped.

Jerome is half of Groove Asylum, who featured on the records Don’t 001 & 002 as well as a host of other labels. Groove Asylum also play Live Pas regularly and Jerome can be found keeping the crowd guessing as to what’s coming next on London Soundsystems every weekend as part of his mission to keep discovering and promoting new and interesting techno music.

DON’T RECORDS
Don’t records came about in 1999 as an outlet for the productions of London based duo Groove Asylum (Jerome Hill and Rob Stow). There is no concrete agenda for the label although the tracks are usually a meeting of the jacking sound of Chicago and the more abstract no-skool wonky UK techno sounds.

The aim is to blend the normally unblendable and to release tracks that stick out in a set whilst shocking and annoying techno purists eg the now extinct Don’t 001 featured a rap running the whole way through the track and was played on Radio 1 by John Peel. Whilst Don’t 002 is currently doing damage in the hand of DJ Rush, DJ Bam Bam and the London jocks.
