House-master who emerged from the second generation of house music that came out of Chicago in the early to mid nineties.

Razorlight -

Passionate, wired and raw, Razorlight are the darlings of the music press. Fronted by hyperactive star-in-waiting Johnny Borrell, their very English brand of indie-punk has seen them compared to both The Clash and The Libertines, and their stunning debut single Rip It Up crashed into the charts. 'Sexy, shivery, gorgeous!' (NME).
