Lavelle’s music career started at 15 when he ran block parties in Oxford. At only 18 he started the Mo’ Wax label, taking the name from his club night at the time, Mo’ Wax Please. Around the same time he started the That’s How It Is night with Gilles Peterson, which went on to become one of London’s longest running nights.

Global Underground is a music label founded in 1996 by Andy Horsfield and James Todd. The label symbolizes the international explosion of dance music during the 1990s and first manifesto for high-end DJs such as Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman and Darren Emerson.

It’s no accident that Global Underground chose this charismatic pair of DJs to deliver their special recipe of spicy house beats laced with soul-clenching synths on GU’s most recent electronic opus. Layo Paskin and Matthew “Bushwacka!” Benjamin’s story originally dates back to 1993, when Layo was promoting the “Too Much Music” warehouse parties throughout London.
