Biography:

Luke Wilson AKA Utah Jazz, is one of the original liquid funksters. He
started mixing Drum & Bass whilst still at school, inspired by LTJ Bukem &
Alex Reece and his DJ career soon blossomed * randomly adopting the name
ŒUtah Jazz¹ from the US Basketball team to showcase his preference for the
mid 90s Jazz-Jungle¹ sound.

In 2008, his debut album It¹s A Jazz Thing was released worldwide to both
commercial and critical acclaim - cementing Utah Jazz¹s position as one of
the major cross-over D&B artists this side of the millennium with high
profile magazine coverage including Mixmag, DJ, iDJ, ATM & Knowledge.

Released through Bryan G¹s seminal V Recordings camp (the first home of
Roni Size & DJ Marky) with radio and club support from the likes of Trevor
Nelson, Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, LTJ Bukem, Fabio, Andy C, Goldie and more *
the global impact of ŒIt¹s A Jazz Thing¹ has also now made Utah Jazz one of
the most in demand selectors on the international D&B circuit.

Press Quotes:

... "If the Drum & Bass scene¹s upper reaches have a reputation for
maintaining their rigid hierarchy with all the ruthless efficiency of a
Stalinist accounting firm, then Utah Jazz is most certainly the kid who
cracked the code..." (DJ)

..."With his sublime debut album 'It's a Jazz Thing' out now on Liquid V,
it's time to flip the script, and remind the pretenders who's really
boss..." (DJ Mag)

..."A remarkable composer... this is Drum & Bass royalty in the making..."
(Knowledge)

..."After 10 years of producing, ŒIt's A Jazz Thing' is well worth the
wait, showcasing Wilson's knack of excavating big riffs and hooks from 70's
soul and funk, and melding them together in an uplifting dance floor soup. 4
out of 5..." (Mixmag)

..."A dive into the inviting blue skies of summer, 'It's a Jazz Thing' takes
the liquid funk template and submerges it in black-golden layers of '70s
symphonic soul, equal parts Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, High Contrast and
Calibre..." (DJ Mag)

... "The most eagerly-anticipated debut album in years... Utah Jazz has got
a rhythm, soul & vision all his own and the entire Drum & Bass world will
soon be stepping to his beat..." (KMag)

..."X-amount of cast-iron jungle legends can¹t be wrong * and they ain¹t.
When Utah Jazz waves his wand, D&B invariably swoons..." (iDJ)

..."An original and unique listening experience. If you don¹t know about
Utah Jazz yet, what exactly is your excuse?!..." (ATM)
