Adam first started DJing properly when he put on a one off night called Homegrown in his home town of Northwich back in July 2000. The night was run alongside two of his friends (both DJs) Tom Golden & Nathan Landry. Shortly after the night they were contacted by Levi's and Mixmag to play alongside Tom Stephan on the 'Levis Student House Party Tour', which took in Leeds, Newcastle and Sankeys Soap in Manchester.
In 2002 Adam and the other two lads set up www.homegrown-music.com as a base to promote themselves as DJs. The site has grown immensely over three years and is know internationally for its 'Homegrown Hotmix' concept in which two guest DJs per month supply mixes for people to stream and download, previous guests have included Jazzanova, Miss Kitten, Mylo, Tom Stephan, Justin Martin, Natural Rhythm, Mazi, Tony Thomas and many more underground DJs. Alongside the two guest mixes the residents (Adam, Tom, Nathan & new addition Woody) each take it in turns for two of them to do a mix every other month. In the 3 years in has been running the site has received over 7 million hits. The website also features an extensive back catalogue of mixes to stream, archived radio shows, photo galleries, video, monthly record reviews, forthcoming dates and a busy message board. A new feature on the site that started in 2005 was the Homegrown Radio Show (presented by Adam & Tom), which airs weekly on Sundays and Thursdays on www.pulseradio.net.
Djing wise Adam has played at many of the UK’s best clubs including Sankeys Soap, Turnmills, The Bomb, and The Music Box, and has supported some of the best underground DJs in the world today such as Tom Stephan, Audio Bullys, Paul Woolford, James Zabeila, DJ Heather, Jacob London, Nic Fanciulli & Greg Vickers. Over the last couple of years Adam and the other lads have worked hard at getting the Homegrown name known and this has shown in the amount of gigs and places they have travelled to and played at, with the parties getting better and better each time. The past year or so Adam has also ventured out to Europe on various occasions for some very memorable parties and festivals, the highlights of which were playing at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival in Croatia (on top of a fort!), the Zagreb Film Festival both in 2004 and 2005 (spinning to over 1500 people), playing at the awesome Cova Den Xoroi in Menorca (set in a cliff top cave) and doing a small tour of Belgium in August 2005. Add to this Adam picking up IDJ magazines Top Tape award and Muzik Magazines highly acclaimed ‘Bedroom Bedlam' award, this kid has achieved a lot in his seven years of djing.
Studio wise Adam has been working hard for the past 4 years producing forward thinking house music. His first EP was released in the summer of 2005 on UK label Lost My Dog records and received excellent reviews from DJ & I-DJ magazine as well as making it into the boxes of DJs such as DJ Heather, Joey Youngman, Jay Tripwire, Tyler Stadius and Jimpster to name a few. A second EP (Honey I’ve Lost My Panties EP, written alongside Tom Golden) quickly followed on Southside Shuffle recordings and this is what I-DJ had to say about it:
“I've lapped up everything these guys have released in their short career. These four trippy little buggers are evidence there is more yet to come. From the jazzy, bendy "VR Nightz" to the twisted tech-ery of "Light Em Up", it's like a Midlands house version of MFF. Excellent stuff” – Jez Torrance I-DJ Mag.
2006 looks set to be another good year for Adam, with "Encore" due to drop on the highly respected Greenhouse recordings, a brand new four track demo recently completed as well as keeping the gigs across the UK and Europe rolling in.


Nathan Landry has been djing for 7 years. He has an intense passion for quality house music, and as well as making his mark as a dj he also intends to make it as a producer and remixer.
Nathan has always had a desire for music and has been influenced and inspired by many bands, dj's and producers. He has forged a dj style which crosses the board from deep house through to techno, a sound which can be described as tough and techy with a party edge, although open minded about what he plays; he says he just plays quality house music and will play anything as long as its good!
Nathan is also an aspiring producer and remixer. He has worked alongside fellow Homegrown resident Adam B in the past on productions and more recently has produced some of his own material, which you can listen to above; check 'em out!
Nathan has also had success as a dj. Highlights include playing out alongside Tom Stephan in Newcastle-upon-Tyne for a Levi's sponsored house party (Dec 2001), this was also featured in Mixmag (Feb 2002). He has played out on Andy Prices premier house music show, "Back to our House" on Manchester's Key103 (June 2002). As well as being featured alongside Adam B in I-DJ magazine's readers mixes (March 2001), his own mix cd was featured in I-DJ (August 2003). Nathan's other highlights as a dj include playing a boat party for Nottingham's The Bomb' nightclub alongside homegrown residents Tom Golden and Adam B, other dj's on the bill were Tayo and Frank Tope from Basement Jaxx's Rooty sound system. Nathan has also played out alongside the Audio Bullys, again for The Bomb' in May 2004. International highlights include djing in Croatia for the world recognised Zagreb film festival in 2004 and 2005, and Freestyle at Cova Den Xoroi in Menorca, a truly unique and inspiring venue (in a cave!). Nathan has just recently returned from a mini tour of Croatia and Montenegro (July-Aug 2006).


Tom took his first steps into DJing properly when he put on a one off night called Homegrown in his home town of Northwich back in July 2000. The night was run alongside two of his friends (both DJs) Adam B & Nathan Landry. Shortly after the night they were contacted by Levi's and Mixmag to play alongside Tom Stephan on the 'Levis Student House Party Tour', which took in Leeds, Newcastle and Sankeys Soap in Manchester, this gave them a taste of what Djing out to crowds was like and they loved it.
Djing wise Tom has been playing out for the last 7 years all over the UK and across Europe, in this time he has held down 5 residences including a weekly residency at Manchester night ‘Landed' back in 2003. Each week he was warming up for the legendary Hacienda resident Graeme Park as well as many other top-notch names, doing the warm up slot enabled Tom to gain invaluable experience into building a vibe up from nothing, which is something he still enjoys doing today. Over the last 4 years Tom has worked hard at getting the Homegrown name known and this has shown in the amount of gigs and places he has traveled to and played at, with the parties getting better and better each time. Notable gigs in the UK have included Tribal Sessions at Sankeys Soap, The Masque Theatre in Liverpool, The Gallery at Turnmills in London and doing various summer parties down at the Bomb in Nottingham. As well as the UK Tom has ventured abroad on numerous occasions and played at some amazing parties, the highlights of which were playing at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival in Croatia 2005 (on top of a fort!), playing at the awesome Cova Den Xoroi in Menorca (set in a cliff top cave ), a tour of Belgium in 2005 and a week long tour of Croatia and Montenegro in Summer 2006 (playing in bombed out hotels, parties on remote islands and lots of good times!) . Tom is also resident at the Zagreb Film Festival in Croatia where he plays each night of the festival during a week in October, each year gets bigger and better with over 2000 people attending the nightly events. In late 2005 Tom was approached by Manchester night Stylus to join the team as a promoter and resident which he duly did and has since warmed up for the likes of Phil Weeks, Joey Youngman, The Littlemen, Jason Hodges, Kenny Hawkes and Jay Tripwire to name a few.
The logical progression to the studio started for Tom in late 2003 when he joined Adam to learn the ropes. The two of them produced ‘Homegrown Headz' in Jan 2004 and it was released in May 2005 on Midlands based label Lost My Dog, gaining excellent reviews from DJ Mag, I-DJ and lots a good reactions from DJs. In June 2005 they released the amusingly titled ‘Honey I've Lost My Panties' EP on Southside Shuffle which also received excellent reviews and reactions .
2007 looks set to be another good year for Tom with some excellent parties and guest DJs planned for Stylus, lots of European adventures in the pipeline, producing and promoting the weekly radio show and of course finding time to making some beats again!


Before turning his hand to DJing and house music, Woody was a classically trained musician, he was awarded 8 distinctions with the National College of Music, before achieving a merit with the London College of Music… But that was boring, and you can't really chat up girls by saying you're a classical musician! So at the age of 15 Woody started DJing. Early musical influences include Danny Rampling and Erick Morillo, but significantly though, it was the fascination of listening to multiple tracks being blended together and subsequently this bringing a whole new challenge to him musically. "I'm a huge fan of funk, disco, jazz and blues and House music drew closely to the characteristics found in those genres. That special feeling to it. It had that drive, that emotion and I just love funky music." So there we have it and 5 years later we arrive here today. A cheeky outgoing DJ who works hard to keep the crowd happy with a delicate blend of across the board house music. I'm sure it wouldn't surprise you to hear that rather sticking to a set style, Woody likes to experiment through out the whole House genre including deep house, breaks and techno, drawing influences from the likes of Danny Howells, Sander Kleinenberg, Derrick Carter and the legendary Carl Cox. His style of long blending mixes, move constantly at an energetic pace.
Woody has been involved in a number of promotion projects. Promoting various club nights, including his own highly acclaimed night Mind Body and Soul night in Cheshire (when he was only 16!), and working on websites such as Recess which was featured in popular DJ guidebook "How To Dj (Properly)" by Frank Broughton & Bill Brewster.
In 2004 he was asked to become a resident with www.homegrown-music.com alongside Adam B, Tom Golden & Nathan Landry, which he duly accepted. The site has grown immensely over three years and is know internationally for its 'Homegrown Hotmix' concept in which two guest DJs per month supply mixes for people to stream and download, previous guests have included Jazzanova, Miss Kitten, Mylo, Tom Stephan, Justin Martin, Natural Rhythm, Mazi, Tony Thomas and many more underground DJs. In the 3 years in has been running the site has received over 7 million hits. Since joining www.homegrown-music.com his DJing has stepped up a gear and he has played at various venues and respected nights right across the UK, supporting some well know DJs (DJ Heather, Justin Robertson, and Sonny Wharton to name a few). Woody has also played out in Europe (the highlight of which was playing at the phenomenal Cova Den Xoroi in Menorca), and had various mixes broadcast on radio stations the world over. Heading into 2006 Woody kicks off the year by being featured in DJ magazine and putting the finishing touches to his first production work (keep an eye out!) He is also looking forward to joining the other Homegrowners at gigs across the UK and abroad.
