    Psycatron Biog

    2009 proved to be a landmark year for Irish techno duo Psycatron aka
    Paul Hamill & Dave Lievense as they took things to the next level with
    a string of high profile productions being released on some of the
    world's most respected labels, receiving props from some of the
    biggest names in the business and record sales flying high in the
    Beatport charts.

    The year began with the Location Unknown EP on Fergie's Rekluse
    imprint. The lead track 'Takefive' was a huge smash at the Miami
    Winter Music Conference with everyone from DJ Hell to Sasha (who was
    closing his sets it with) making it one of the biggest records of the
    conference.

    From Belfast to Detroit followed, with the master Carl Craig signing
    'Deeper Shades Of Black' for Planet E Communications making them the
    first Irish artist to appear on the Detroit imprint. 'Deeper Shades'
    spent 6 weeks in the Beatport Top 20 peaking at Number 5 with only
    Cirez D, Adam Beyer, Joris Voorn and Sebastian Leger standing in the
    way of pole position. Then from Detroit to Sao Paolo in Brazil, where
    Christian Smith's Tronic Music delivered the devastating 'Directions'
    and 'Tipping Point' with charts and plays coming in from everyone from
    Dubfire to Digweed. 'Directions' remixes followed soon after from Matt
    Nordstrom and Fergie well as featuring on Christian Smith's Platforms
    compilation for Renaissance.

    A bit closer to home and an appearance on London based Simple Records
    demonstrated a deeper, subtle edge at the opposite end of the spectrum
    from their previous big-room releases but still retaining the
    signature melodic touches with the 'Orchestral Manouvres In The Park'
    EP showing up on Will Saul's highly respected imprint.

    As if the prove that getting signed to Planet E was no flash in the
    pan, they then went on to sign a deal with legendary Belgian imprint
    R&S Records home to the likes of Aphex Twin, Joey Beltram and Derrick
    May who released 'Is What it Is' in November, before rounding the year
    off with a specially commissioned Transitions mix for John Digweed's
    radio show.

    As the list of Psycatron supporters continues to grow, it starts to
    read like a who's who of quality underground electronica with everyone
    from Ewan Pearson to Joris Voorn, DJ Hell, Dave Clarke and even Martin
    L Gore from Depeche Mode (who recently charted Psycatron's remix for
    1605 Records in his January Top Ten on Beatport) all getting on board.

    The theme is set to continue well into 2010 with Psycatron tracks
    appearing on the world-famous Radio 1 Essential Mix two weeks running
    with Simian Mobile Disco and Christian Smith dropping them in their
    sets, while remix offers have since come flooding in with labels
    including Cocoon, Bedrock, International Deejay Gigolo, and Secret
    Cinema's Gemm Recordings all confirmed for Psycatron output in 2010.

    Having spent the past seven years hosting their residency at the
    world-famous Shine and the Stiff Kitten in Belfast where they've
    supported some of the biggest DJ's on the planet, 2010 will be the
    year where Psycatron's winning combination of killer DJ sets and live
    shows will see them emerge as one of the most exciting acts of the
    year as their profile continues to grow on a global scale.

    Psycatron are made up of BBC Radio DJ and producer Paul Hamill and
    super-producer Dee Lievense.

    A1 Bassline aka Christian Sibthorpe started DJ'ing at the ripe old age
    of 12 and had his first release at the age of 16 under the name of

    garage, drum and bass, hip hop and house.

    Boots, The Virgins, Rochelle, FrankMusik, Yo Majesty, Esser, Cadence
    Weapon, The Qemists ft.Wiley, Ghost Frequency, Glamour For Better,
    Alex Roots, Heavy Feet , Buraka Som Sistema, Example, the list goes
    on. But it was his Girl Thing EP (Meal Deal) which made his name
    popular and was massive on the blogs. He has had support from the
    likes of Armand van Heldon, Fake Blood, Sinden, Jack Beats, Annie Mac,
    Trevor Nelson, Rob da Bank, Kissy Sell Out, Andy George, Bloody
    Beetroots etc...

    His next single will be Bad Man Horror theme, which is currently the

    due to come out in the summer. A1 is also hoping to finish his
    reworking of Adamski's Killer in time for a 20th anniversary release
    also in the summer. The press has been kind, with features in Dazed,
    Front, Stool Pigeon and tipped for the top by NME, aswell as 4****
    reviews in DJ and MixMag.

    On the live/DJ front Christian has toured the USA/ Mexico 3 times,
    Canada, most of Europe and is looking forward to a tough schedule
    ahead, with festivals including Bestival, Mad Ferret, Creamfields and
