The Jinks (Chris Gau s gone from strength to strength, and is now part of the mighty Defected Records family. It has featured remixes and productions from the likes of DJ Spen, Tiger Stripes, Kaje Trackheadz and Conan Liquid, not to mention The Jinks themselves! Every single release has reached Traxsource's hallowed Top 10. As The Jinks, Chris and Dan have been very busy on original productions and remixes alike. 2008 brought remix work for Code Red, GoGo Music, Jaffa Music, Stingily Music and Mark Grant's Blackstone label and also 7 original releases on Jinks Inc and bargrooves. 2009 is already shaping to be another successful year: 2 more Traxsource top tens with Shame on MN2S' Miami Sampler, and their collaboration with Carla Prather on Defected – "Got To Do Better" - and It's only Spring! With future collaborations with Pete Simpson, Byron Stingily, Foremost Poets and Alma Horton forthcoming nothing can stop theses guys! And now the history: In December 2004, The Jinks won the Mixmag Future Heroes DJ competition & took 2nd place in International DJ's Raw Talent competition in January 2005. In the Judge's notes for IDJ's Raw Talent Competition, The Jinks' mixtape was described as "one of the most original we have ever received". Chris and Dan are old friends from way back. Having discovered a mutual love for all things funky, the pair kicked off their vinyl addiction over a decade ago. Soon they were playing at clubs all around London, by he mid –nineties they had both moved North, Chris to Manchester and Dan to Leeds. They made an impact in both cities, setting up a pirate radio station in Manchester (Twist FM) and DJing at some of the North's top nights, rocking dance floors with such legends as Marshall Jefferson, MJ Cole and Norman Jay OBE. During their residency at Rough Hill, a weekly Funk night in Manchester, The Jinks began their first foray into the world of production, re-editing classic funk and disco records for their DJ sets. Seeing the ferocity with which punters lapped up these Jinks 'remixes', they realized the potential for creating their own original dance floor destroyers. From that moment on they knew where their days were heading - a lifetime of honing the closely guarded secrets of beat juggling and dance music production. Having conquered the North, the pair returned South for a Friday night residency at London's now legendary Bar Rumba. After rocking Rumba for 2 years, the pair wanted a fresh challenge, and decided to dedicate their time and energy to production. They have since built up a formidable recording studio The Monet Pit in Ladbroke Grove, and have been hiding away, biding their time in their secret laboratory, cooking up eclectic and funky sets and building fat grooves for their public's ears As well as playing all around the world from Hong Kong to Dubai to Switzerland, they are also the hosts of the fortnightly Jinks Inc Pod Cast, produced by Mark Duckett @ Wise Buddha the company who currently produce shows for Pete Tong, Roger Sanchez and Defected Records, as well as BBC Radio 1, 2 and 6.
