2010 Resident
Jamie Jones
This year the Warehouse Project has three special, exclusive residents. A trio of young DJs who have been specifically chosen because of their unique standing in British dance music today. All three represent the best, most innovative and exciting new music being made across various genres, as well as all being incredibly accomplished DJs in their own right.
The first of the three is one of the brightest young stars of the UK house and techno scene, Jamie Jones, whose rise to the top has been as unstoppable as it has been well deserved. His 11 year DJ career has seen him hone his craft to become a regular at some of the best clubs in the world; Fabric, DC10, Space, and Berlin's Watergate to name a few.
His early releases on Damian Lazarus' Crosstown Rebels imprint immediately marked him out as a young producer to watch, as did successive tracks on labels such as Cocoon, Get Physical and Freak N Chic. His debut album Don't You Remember The Future? was one of the biggest dance successes of last year, winning him the Best Producer and Best Dance Single (for the huge Summertime) awards in DJ Mag. He describes himself as a stylistically varied DJ, with roots in "deep house, Detroit techno and generally anything moody, edgy and groove based."

Joy Orbison
Few artists have become so talked about as quickly as 23 year old Peter O'Grady did in the aftermath of his debut release under his guise Joy Orbison, the unstoppable Hyph Mngo. Topping many best single of 2009 lists, the track and its b-side Wet Look both pulled off the near impossible trick of referencing house, UK garage, dubstep and even jungle whilst concurrently sounding completely fresh, original and unlike anything else around at the time.
Since then the hybrid sound he helped pioneer has blossomed, with many new producers using the myriad influences of Hyph Mngo as a touchstone. O'Grady credits his uncle, drum and bass legend Ray Keith, with introducing him to jungle and UK garage at a young age. Recently named by both the NME and the Guardian as someone to watch in 2010, he launched his own record label, Doldrums, this year. He has performed his wide ranging DJ sets at Sonar festival, Bestival, Fabric, as a guest on Radio 1 and across Europe at some of the most celebrated clubs in existance.

Jamie xx
Founding member of the acclaimed London trio The xx, Jamie Smith has recently come into his own as a solo artist and exceptional DJ in his own right. Turning down internationally acclaimed producers such as Diplo to produce his band's debut himself, his understated approach perfectly suited the bands ethereal and haunting sound, and the album received unanimously glowing reviews in the media.
His reworking of Florence and The Machine's You've Got The Love was one of the standout remixes of the last decade, a stunningly original take on the song that encompassed UK garage, dubstep, detroit techno and glitchy electronica into one unified whole, a startling re-imagining of a simplistic pop song. Further remixes of The xx's own Basic Space and Jack Penate demonstrated the young producers gift for recontextualising the sounds of garage and techno with guitar based songs.
His much lauded 5 minute mini mix for Annie Mac on Radio 1 at the start of this year, featuring artists such as Burial, Joker, Flying Lotus and Skream amongst others, made clear his wide knowledge of contemporary dubstep and post-UK garage music, as well as his seamless ability as a DJ.
