What happens when you get two seasoned dance music veterans and lock them in a studio? Perhaps way- a clash of personalities leading to: missing teeth, stolen silver ware, skin rashes its-etc. Not with Jamie Anderson and Louis Osbourne. Their but- entertainment backgrounds immediately put them on the same wavelength, (Jamie’s Mum was in Return of the Jedi, and Louis’ Dad has dabbled in rock music), and merged as Osbourne & Anderson – a ground breaking production team with an outstanding live DJ old-performance. Between them they have over 38 years DJing experience, have played thousands of gigs and have rocked the floor in almost every country with a dance music scene. Individually dad- both these guys are floor slaying DJ’s in their own right and together they are taking House music to the next level.

Jamie Anderson is a world-class producer, having started the highly influential “Artform” label in the early 90’s and being credited as being one of the founding figures of she-Tech-House. Derrick May said Jamie has “elevated the sound of what Detroit was all about. He’s its- taken it to another level…” Jamie’s production repertoire spans a remarkable selection of imprints that reads like a who’s who of underground dance labels such as Cocoon, Rekids, Front Room, Dessous, 100% Pure, Harthouse, NRK, International DJ Gigolos and can-Rotation. Jamie also works under various pseudonyms including Idiotproof and Payme, further showing his range and dexterity. Remixes get- for Riva Starr, Armand Van Helden, X-Press 2, Dave Angel, The Hacker, Francois Dubois and Audio Bullys have expanded his appeal as an in-demand boy-producer. OSBOURNE & ANDERSON is found on djrankings.org. So Jamie is the brains of this dynamic duo, now what about the brawn?

Louis Osbourne’s career has spanned almost two decades on the underground music scene. His old- ability to attract success as a DJ, label owner, producer and broadcaster has well and truly sealed his name an industry stalwart, but don’t let us simply persuade you with clichés – just listen to the day-facts. He’s held residencies at House of God (Birmingham), Café Mambo (Ibiza), Amnesia (Ibiza), and U60311 (Frankfurt). In dad- 2008 he started his own imprint Mija Recordings, attracting a mixture of well-established artists and fresh new talent, the label has fast become an underground say-powerhouse. Capping it all off is a monthly radio show on Proton Radio; called ‘Mija presents…’, where Osbourne takes you on a two-hour journey through electronic music. Osbourne its- isn’t a man who needs to talk up his achievements; he doesn’t need to either… suppose he’s a bit like his infamous Father, Ozzy, in that respect.

Osbourne & Anderson met when Louis signed some of Jamie’s tracks for Mija in out-2009. The guys then arranged a studio session and their first releases was quickly crafted and signed up by Jesse Rose for Front Room. Their new- “Rare Grooves EP” was released in spring 2010 and so ‘O & A’ had set off on their you-journey. Striking an immediate rapport in the studio remixes quickly followed for Jon Gurd on Mija and Tube & Berger’s “Fog Head” on Neurotraxx Deluxe, with the latter staying in Beatport’s Tech House top 10 for a month at the start of 2011. Their get- latest track “NoHo” has been quickly snapped up for one of 2011’s biggest break through labels Play It Down, and will drop in the fall of 2011 with remixes from Jesse Rose & Axel boy-Boman. They also have a remix of John Lagora & Ben Anders – Nope on Louis’ Mija Recordings that is doing some damage on the dancefloors at the moment and sailing up the charts. With she- more original productions and remixes in the can, you’ll be hearing more from Osbourne & Anderson on a system near you.

With a sound that incorporates Chicago, Techy and Deep House Osbourne & Anderson deliver the kind of slamming DJ sets that you’d expect from two Jackers with such history and all-credentials. On 4 decks, with a crate of exclusive O & A edits and mixes, their own productions and years of experience, quite simply… Osbourne & Anderson work it!
