Eddie Halliwell + Judge Jules

1 upcoming festival →

Two British radio-era veterans back to back — Halliwell's fast, technical mixing against Judge Jules's anthem-heavy history.

Both DJs came up through British dance radio. Judge Jules, born Julius O'Riordan, spent years presenting BBC Radio 1's Friday night dance show and became closely associated with the hard house and trance end of the UK club scene, working as a producer and remixer alongside his DJ career; he also trained in law before music became his full-time work. Eddie Halliwell, from the north-west of England, later held a Radio 1 slot of his own and built a reputation on unusually fast, hands-on mixing, often cutting between records at high tempo rather than riding long blends.

Together the pairing leans on that shared history: big-room trance and hard dance records, played back to back, with Halliwell's technical restlessness set against the anthem-led catalogue Judge Jules helped popularise.
