London born singer/songwriter and DJ Maxine Hardcastle is not restrained by genre, having written soulful/ funky house tracks for Hed Kandi and The Ministry of Sound as well as a number of smooth jazz releases, reaching #1 on the US Billboard chart. It would be difficult not to claim that music runs thought her veins - her father, the legendary 80s popster Paul Hardcastle, made his mark revolutionising the sound of pop with the record '19', with subsequently Simon Fuller named the company '19 Management'. Mr. Hardcastle continues to dominate the American charts with countless hit albums. If that wasn't enough to claim artistic heritage, Maxine's brother Paul Jr. is a saxophonist and songwriter who is currently jamming to the loyal dance music crowds of Ibiza. Louis Hardcastle, her grandfather, was a credible jazz / soul musician performing his way around the world until the fine age of 80. So it's no surprise that Maxine has spent her youth immersed in all things musical, finding time also to . train in classical, ballroom and Latin dancing and gaining a diploma in theater arts at the famed 'Italia Conti Academy'.  She sang in the Spice Girls Movie, danced on S-Club television, appearing in the series I-Dream, and sang live at the Royal Albert Hall as well as co-writing and performing on 'Hardcastle 4' - and all that before the age of 18!  

Maxine has concentrated on writing and producing her own solo material, teaching herself digital music production and setting up her own studio, and teaching herself a professional music program.  From an early age she was determined to become musically self-sufficient and be able to be involved involved in each step of making music. Maxine wrote her first house track 'It's Gonna Happen' in 2007, which was snapped up by global label/club brand Hed Kandi, released on the 'Summer Sampler' and 'Beach House 2007', following up with 'Another Chance' to Wez Clarke's instrumental on which she also played keyboards. The track smashed dancefloors everywhere and Hed Kandi obliged again for her second signing, releasing the track on several albums including 'A Winters Taste', 'Kandi Lounge', 'Beach House 2008', 'Live Verbier' and 'American' Ministry of Sound Album. Established producer Richard Earnshaw provided a remix on further albums. Two further tracks were signed with Hed Kandi proving very successful - 'Walking With A Smile', originally written by Maxine is a soul/funk number, was remixed by Wez Clarke into the catchy house track that now features on several albums. 'Bringing Me Back', was released on the 'Beach House 2009' album and several albums Stateside. The 'Mr. Vasovski Mix' was released on Discopolis records and featured on 'Born To Dance Presents Essential House Miami Twenty Ten'.  Maxine performs her tracks live in venues all over the world, including Pacha London, Pacha Lithuania, Russia and The Maldives.

As Miss Hardcastle breezed through the audition for dance/pop sensation 'Alice DJ' her work with other producers at Violent Music sparked a fascination with Ableton Live throwing her headlong into the world of digital DJing. Composing her own remixes/bootlegs she showcased her favourite house and electro tracks to audiences weaving her live vocal talents into her set. Maxine may be relatively new blood on the DJ scene but she has already sparked a lot of industry interest - not many DJs we know leave the decks looping and get down onto the floor to sing in the crowd.

Recent highlights include touring for 'Pink Poison' in Lithuania, as well as appearances at Egg London, Kuredu Island Maldives, Dreamers Marbella, Dance Crusade festival, Mac Store Regent Street, The National Polo Championships 'Sandbanks Rocks' alongside Dane Bowers and Brandon Block, and has played beside Kiss 100 DJs and Ibiza Residents and has billed at highly respected club nights Dance Aid, Blow, Miss Moneypennies, Wired, Be Sombody, Femme Fatale, DiscoTech, MotherFunkers, Pukka Up, Undetected, Dirtbox, Tutti-Frutti, and the Thursday Night Project

Away from the decks and dance scene Maxine finds relaxation from the hard beats and hectic life of a DJ by writing accoustic, easy listening music. She has co-written and performed on several of her fathers #1 smooth jazz albums and recently co-wrote and sang the track 'A Different Kind Of Love' with American artist Nate Harasim, voted 'Up and Coming Smooth Jazz artist of the Year. The track features on his album which is due to be released shortly.

Danielle was born in Hull but did most of her growing up in Essex which is probably where she soaked up the brash outgoing and sassy vocal style that reaches deep into the soul. From early beginnings of Chetwood Primary School Choir leading to a desire to belt out top 40 hits from the Sunday R1 chart show Danielle developed an increasingly wider appreciation of music.

Numerous karaoke forays later lead to Danielle being approached by cabaret singer Dave to form a club vocal duo 'Twogether'.  Her professional repertoire increased from 5 to 25 songs and 'Twogether' toured the cabaret, pub and working mens club circuit and despite a more traditional performence content still found a following in younger venues, and Danielle realised that she had a very commerical vocal talent and decided to get some wider exposure. Danielle produced a demo CD of cover songs and started working with many different producers on original songs to showcase her style after being offered an opportunity to sing in London at 'POPSHOW'.

Danielle needed original songs and received hundreds of responses from writers in answer to an advert, choosing Gerard Magee and Phil Harris tracks which stood out from very many ballards.After hearing Danielle's Demo CD** and then seeing her perform live Kenny Azeez of VHP Records contracted her to record 3 tracks on a double dance album released at the beginning 2004. "You've Got The Love" was her first track with VHP, the second was "Independent Girl".

 In 2002 Danielle recorded 'Out Of Luck' for Chicken Soup Music. who were so impressed with her vocals and professionalism that they invited her to record a further 2 tracks including the second "You and me Baby". Danielle sings all genres well and after responding to an ad in the Stage Magazine also collaborated on a project with Pete Deveraux (the Artful Dodger), but sadly this never came to fruition.  The Wah-Brothers also asked Danielle to produce a pre-production vocal guide for them for their hit song "Say Hello Wave Goodbye".Danielle biggest audience to date has been performing to 3000 people for Comic Relief at the London Fun Run - described as "one of the best experiences to date, I really loved it, though it was a touch chillier on stage than I'm usually used to!".

Danielle has trained professionally at Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM) getting a Distinction for the course and received voical coaching from Carleen Anderson (ex Brand New Heavies) and Roger Kain, Kate Cammeron (vocalist for Fatboy Slim, Paul Oakenfold etc.) as well as some good old fashion rock and roll hands on hands on training with a rock band and some excellent semi-professional musicians for 9 months. Danielle was the first to sing at all the weekly "Live Performance Workshops" at Concorde 2 each week with material from Skunk Anansie through No Doubt & Coldplay to Foo Fighters, ed Hot Chillie Peppers, and AC/DC. She also met and jammed with Alex......, Vinnie L...(Emma Bunton, Robbie Williams) and Mark Richardson (drummer for FEEDER) and many more.
