Hi Folks,

According to wikipedia N Joi are still going:

Inside Out is a brillaint album.
They are more famous for Anthem and Bad Things but the rest of the album is full of absolute belters!!!!

Saw them in the Tivoli in 1994, would love to see them again.

According to their Facebook page:

N-Joi , a legendary dance band that throughout the nineties, had a UK top ten, three top 20 hits, two number 1’s in the U.S.A Billboard Chart and were the initiators of the “keyboard dance band” revered by the likes of The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers.

After a long time away from writing for the band, Mark, Nigel, and Matt, will be releasing a string of new singles, following the re-release of their world wide hit,` Anthem` on the newly revived` Deconstruction Records` (Sony). This will be a build up to an album due for release later in the year, and the boys are also planning to remix all their classic material on a bonus album to feature alongside this release.

Their live sets are legendary, and are in the process of being totally upgraded. They absolutely still rock the crowd every time they play live.

N-Joi DJ as well as play live and quite often combine the two.

N-JOI were my favourite act back then. They changed their style after "The Drumstruck EP" and went more along the house route. I was at the 94 gig in The Tivoli meself, animal gig but too short (11-2). Mark Kavanage wrecked the gaf as well. Do you remember the Irish band that supported them "Hastis" they were called and the were fookin amazing?

I heard they got back together and were still touring the thye UK but doing OldSkool stuff,didn't realise they start producing again. Would love to get them over here again.

Inside Out is one of my post prized possessions, had it on casette, CD and still have in on vinlyl. 2nd track in particular (called Inception I believe) is fantastic as is the original Bad Things (tho the Wink remix is deadly as well.)

I was delighted when Warren dropped Adrenaline at the recent Asylum gig. Track of the night for me

They've done a few remixes the last few years and are still playing at various old skool events throughtout the UK and beyond, i seen them in Brighton a few years ago play an old skool DJ set and they were fantastic.:)

PS- No way i remember that gig in the Tivoli was it 94 i thought it was 95 (the aul memory isn't what it was lol) great gig from what i recall, one of the best ever gigs in the Tivoli was Joey Beltram around 96/97 a serious night that was.

Definiately 1994 Johnny as it was my FIRST EVER live gig and I was in 5th year in school at the time

Do you remember Hastis????? Come on FFS I can't be the ONLY person to remember them. Only for the fact that I also seen them in The Multimedia Centre I'd think it was a double dip strawberry hallucination:p

Ha ha, i was in Hastis, good times had. Through me out just before these gigs as i didnt do anything really. Rod Morris was the brains behind it and hes still one of my best mates. Makes music for ads and movies now http://www.thesoundbutlers.com/. I wish i still had my Hastis jacket.
