Audiojack are the Leeds (UK) based DJs, producers and label owners making big waves in recent years with original productions and remixes for labels such as 20:20 Vision, Leftroom, Get Physical, Diynamic and their own rapidly expanding Gruuv imprint.

But things like this just don't happen overnight. Or do they? To get the full picture we should go back to the beginning... 2002... The story of Audiojack begins ten years ago in Ibiza; a chance meeting brought about through a mutual love of music and DJing saw the duo of James Rial and Richard Burkinshaw become friends, although it wasn't until three years later when settled in their adopted hometown of Leeds that they decided to take to the studio together, in an attempt to turn their long term passion for DJing and love of vinyl into something more perpetual.

2005... After an intensive year of studio time, cheap cider and angry neighbours the duo produced their first demo - a six track mash up - which was sent to around 20 labels yielding no reward, although a random meeting at a local record shop was about to change all that, as their first production from that disc 'Robot' was picked up by then upstart label Leftroom. 2006 to 2008... Released in the summer of 2006, Robot went on to become one of the most talked about and supported tracks of the year, notching up five figure sales and gaining huge support across the board from Sasha to Richie Hawtin, from Pete Tong to Annie Nightingale. ...show less
