are the acclaimed Manchester-based
DJ, remix and production duo of Graham Lord
and Adam Unsworth. Their high-quality production
and remix work for labels including Soulfuric,
MN2S, Peppermint Jam and their own Tempogroove
imprint has positioned them at the forefront
of the UK's house scene. Similarly, their
versatile and technically-brilliant DJ sets
which incorporate everything from deep and
soulful sounds to tougher and chunkier beats,
have won the pair thousands of fans worldwide.
The Audiowhores were born in 2000 when Graham
and Adam met at legendary club Out In The
Sticks; sharing a passion for the sounds
of Dave Lee, Knee Deep, Masters At Work,
Full Intention and Jazz'n'Groove, Adam and
Graham resolved to work together. Adam already
had a solid seven years experience behind
the decks and was enjoying a residency at
Substance, after previously having worked
at Manchester Underground Records; Graham
meanwhile was already producing his own
tracks and held a wealth of musical knowledge
and expertise.
The pair's debut release, 'Destiny / Tempogroove'
on White, quickly garnered acclaim for it's
disco and Latin influences. 'Got My Eyes
On You', 'Lost Connection EP' and 'House
Music All Night' on Celebrity Records all
followed throughout 2001 and early 2002
and received praise from producers including
ATFC and Boris Dlugosch. 'Look Up' and 'The
Midnight Mood EP' followed before Graham
and Adam's consistent efforts caught the
attention of Soulfuric Records chief Brian
Tappert who invited them to do a remix of
John Julius Knight's 'Find A Friend'.
The success of this remix on Soulfuric Trax
catapulted the pair into the international
spotlight and was hammered by the likes
of Deep Swing, Copyright, Miguel Migs, Paul
Farris, DJ Disciple and The Slammin' Boys.
Graham and Adam followed it up in early
2003 with remixes of Jazz Transit's 'Steppin'
Out' on Soulfuric Deep and Soul Movement's
'Don't Stop' on Space Kat Records before
releasing their first original production
on Soulfuric, 'After The Party', featuring
the vocals of Blu.
Remixes for Conney Harvey, The Sunburst
Band, Ce Ce Peniston, Loletta Holloway,
2indigo and, most recently, Raul Midon,
have followed for labels including Peppermint
Jam, Z Records, Knee Deep USA, Gosssip,
RLP and MAP Dance Switzerland, while on
the original production tip, Audiowhores
have crafted a sound all their own.
'Work It Out' featuring RaShaan Houston
enjoyed substantial success following it's
release on Peppermint Jam in August 2004
while several more releases on Soulfuric
Deep including 'Orillas Del Mar', 'Subject
Of My Affection' and the worldwide smash
'Nekoosa' have firmly established Graham
and Adam as a production outfit to be reckoned
with. The reception to the pair's collaboration
with Groove Assassins in mid 2005 - 'Lift
Me Up' on Look At You Records - saw Audiowhores'
star rise further.
In between busy production and remix work
and Graham's own solo work under his Word
Of Mouth moniker, Audiowhores maintain a
busy DJ schedule. In addition to rocking
crowds in their home town of Manchester,
Audiowhores have brought the house down
at some of the finest clubs in the UK including
Angel Deelite, Neighbourhood, Pacha London,
The End, Turnmills, The Egg, L'America,
Blend, Traffik and Gatecrasher. Further
a-field, the pair has taken their sound
to clubs across Europe, including stops
in Switzerland, Germany, Spain & Ibiza,
Austria, Estonia and Holland, and further
a-field in USA, Asia and Australia.
This year has seen the debut release from
the Audiowhores' own label, Tempogroove.
'Not Going Back' which features the vocals
of Pete Simpson and has received massive
support since it's release in May. They
furthered 2006 with huge reactions on their
hypnotic remix of The Rhythm Slaves 'Show
Me' on Knee Deep USA. Audiowhores have also
just completed a remix of Timmy Vegas and
Barbara Tucker's massive WMC and summer
anthem, 'Dutty Funk (We Can Do)', which
will be released on MN2S in June. Watch
out also for the sophomore release from
Tempogroove, 'A Better Place' featuring
Alex Mills and forthcoming collaborations
with renowned vocalists Shena and Roland
Clark!
