Atomic Hooligan is Matt Welch and Terry Ryan a.k.a. Atomic Hooligan.
The standard setting and boundary pushing DJ and producer duo have long hit the breaks world firmly between the eyes with quality 12” after 12”, but now is the time for that next level leap. YOU ARE HERE, their debut album, exemplifies everything that is fresh about the Hooligans themselves and the figurative musical high rise block that they inhabit.

Their music is always informed by the ever more popular breaks movement, but never pinned down by it. Proof of this can be found on YOU ARE HERE, and in their 9 piece live band show that has already rocked FABRIC LIVE, CARGO and the OCEAN ROOMS in Brighton, with future dates at all the major Festivals including Glastonbury in the summer.

But it’s not just their album that is shooting the Hooligan lads stratospheric this year! Fast gaining the reputation of remix Royalty, and following on from the huge success of their remix’s of Cowgirl and Born Slippy for Underworld, their rework of Lee Coombs & Andy(Plump djs’s)Gardener - Obsessional Rhythm on Finger Lickin sent the Hooligans straight in at number 1 in the Breaks and Beats chart.

As well as this they joined that very elite club by appearing on the front Cover of DJ Mag. With interviews and mix’s on XFM and BBC Radio 1 already under their belt in 2005, Atomic Hooligan support is b on the airwaves, with Eddy Temple Morris already calling YOU ARE HERE “a Contender for album of the year”.

DJ wise, the hooligans just go from strength to strength. Starting 2005 by playing the FUZZY SUMMER BREAK festival in Sydney, Australia, then, record bag in hand hoping over to Taiwan to usher in the new year at super club BOBO’S .

Between the busy live show schedule, they are managing to fit in DJ dates at the Guvernment in Toronto, along with return trips to Oz and another SouthEast Asian tour in late summer. As well as dates in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, France and the States. No wonder they were voted in the top 10 breaks DJ’s in the world.
