DJ DEVAL
(NWDNB/Industry artists/12th round rec.) (UK)
Deval is young Bolton-based dj/mc/producer Michael Kelly. His sound encompasses many different styles from urban breakbeats to soulful melodies, reggae rhythms to deep house. Devals progress over the past 9 years has been rapid and diverse; from djing in small R'n'B clubs at the age of 15 to producing, djing and mcing for some of the biggest names in England.
Having presented the morning radio show on Sunset 102fm with Greg Edwards (Jazz 100.4fm), on April 18th 1990, Deval set up Nu Styla Sound (NSS) with his brother, Wilson-K. After numerous private parties they established over 7 NSS nights in the North-West that lasted for over 3 years. Deval went on to co-produce the Impact Drum&Bass Show on Buzz fm with DJ Impact and also hosted shows on Fresh fm, Frontline fm and Sting fm in the late 1990s.
From 1999 to 2000 Deval promoted several successful Drum&Bass nights at Cyberia Bar (Manchester) and from this point on his reputation in Manchester was firmly set. He went on to DJ and MC at nights such as Soup, Squiggle Dee Mash, Full Fat, Rollin, Urban Nation, Off Da Hook, First Earth and many more. At this time, Deval became the resident at Spellbound (the Norths premier Drum&Bass night), through the support of its founder Inkey, where he began to showcase Nu Skool Breaks alongside the worlds biggest Drum&Bass artists. Having proven to be one of the top Nu Skool Breaks/Drum&Bass/Break-Beat artists in the North, Devals abilities seem to be as diverse as his achievements.
At present Deval is concentrating on productions and remixes for various labels including 12th Round Recordings, Life, Viper, New Vibe and Future Proof. Deval won Manchester DJ of the year 2002 at the Night and Day annual NYE Awards and has recently set up 12th Round Recordings (with Jim Dawson), with future releases from Si S-Man Smith, Kaleida and Sol&Xample and himself.

UP NEXT THIS SATURDAY:
GAZ:MAZK (Complex Beats)
5 YEARS OF GAZ::MAZK
2004 is our celebration year. gaz::mazk exist 5 years. 5 years of fun, laughter, tears and sweat.
we came out of nothing, and worked our way up to a recognized collective.
Nothing has won yet, but we are proud we still rinse on, and love to do our work with all the talent we got.
The things we've achieved and the upcoming events/plans just give us a big smile towards the future.
The release of saphir & zief's smasher ashfall, the support from local crews kronik flakes, massive junglism,
guerilla,... aswell worldwide, such as redzone (netherlands) downunder (australia),forms & bassground (netherlands),
rewindradio(usa),... to name just our closest mates who gave us the strenght to carry on.
We met many new friends, colleagues and... let us call them fans...
We've seen hate, but we've seen many people go crazy on our shows.
People started to spin because of us, people discovered drum 'n bass, just as we did from others.
isn't that beautiful? All this makes us stronger and sharpens our spirit. we owe you big time THANX!
Many bookings have come our way, some where smashing and sometimes we just sucked donkey balls.
we're just humans, no machines. We've seen nice places packed with junglist,
but often just stood in front of our girlfriends and friends in an empty room. you can't predict such things but we
played with the same enthusiasm. that's what gaz::mazk is all about, doing the stuff we like with dignity and pride!
