Jules began playing in 1987, launching the career that has easily notched up hundreds of thousands of miles, millions of spins of the decks and countless gigs in far-flung destinations, as well as the odd dirty warehouse thrown in for good measure. Jules' DJ sets are the epitome of what DJing is about - passion, amazing tunes and a set of hands capable of the most nimble of mixing.

With a list of awards that would make the American Olympic team blush, Jules has earned his place amongst the DJ aristocracy. Rarely out of DJ Mag's top 15 in the annual Top 100 DJs poll, Jules has won such accolades as - "Best DJ" (Muzik Awards), No.1 DJ (Mixmag reader's poll), "Best International DJ" (Dancestar), and "Best Radio DJ" at the Smirnoff Dancestars. Awards aside, there is no doubt that Jules remains one of the most popular figures in dance music, who has had the pleasure of playing some of the most sought-after gigs - notably for his beloved Arsenal FC and also, in January 2007, at the 20/20 one-day Australia v's England cricket match at Sydney Cricket Ground.

The Club Work Jules' ability to pull a crowd, shake them up and leave them wanting more makes him a promoter's dream. Jules regularly plays at all the top club nights in the UK: Cream, Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, The Gallery @ Turnmills, Goodgreef, Slinky, Passion, Slinky, Lush (Northern Ireland), Inside Out @ Arches (Glasgow), Promise and the Honeyclub in Brighton. Plus he packs out fields at the UK's best festivals and weekenders including Creamfields and Global Gathering.

His deck dexterity is consistently in demand in Western and Eastern Europe (incl. Czech Rep., Russia, Romania, Hungary, Spain and Germany), the US, the southern hemisphere (Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and India) and on the African continent (The Pyramids, Egypt) and also U.A.E.

Jules embraces dance music across the spectrum and you're just as likely to find him spinning trance to 10,000 at a festival, as playing a rocking house set in a 500-capacity venue.
Jules started radio DJing in 1987 on the (then pirate radio station) Kiss FM, which went legal in 1990. At the time, Jules hosted Kiss' two flagship weekend shows. Jules' shows became syndicated to Manchester / NW and Yorkshire with audience figures for the syndicated show topping 250,000. Jules went on to win three consecutive Kiss FM awards for 'Best Club DJ ('91-'94).

In October 1997, Jules moved to BBC Radio 1 and now broadcasts to over a million listeners each week. Jules is also heavily involved in Radio 1's outdoor broadcasts across the UK and abroad such as the Miami Winter Music Conference, One Big Weekend, Ibiza, Creamfields and more. Tune every Friday night/Saturday morning, 1-3am.

Jules' voice can also be heard on airwaves across the globe, through his 'Global Warm Up' show, which is syndicated to several stations around the world including Sirius Radio, a satellite station available across America.
