classiest and most 'musical' House masterpieces to come out of the UK.

and 'SummerHeadz' with fellow producers Richard Earnshaw, Mark Horwood &
Ed Funk, Piers is now carving a path as a solo artist. Support for his
work consistently coming from the biggest house hold names across
the genre including MAW, Danny Rampling, Matthias Heilbronn, Aaron Ross
