Biography

[edit]

Recording as Amen! UK, he had a hi-NRG hit with "Passion", released by Deconstruction Records in 1995.[2] Billboard magazine described it as being "underlined by an intangible but apparent reverence for hi-NRG architects, such as the late Patrick Cowley", praising the track's "crazy-catchy chorus" while slightly criticizing the lack of "meaty" lyrics otherwise.[2]

AsPaul Masterson presents Sushi, he had another hit with "The Earthshaker" in 2002.[3] He has used various recording aliases since 1995, which are listed below.[4] In the United States, his best known production along with Rachel Auburn, Candy Girls (which featured an American lead vocalist, Sweet Pussy Pauline), reached number 7 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart with "Wham Bam" in 1996.

He has also worked with Judge Jules, most notably billed as Hi-Gate.[5]
