Guy Herman,
South African Born DJ and producer,
is fast becoming a contender in the international arena.

Having spent 12 years at
the forefront of the South African electronic dance music scene
whilst playing alongside genuine global superstars, Guy has seen
his career go supernova! He is globally renowned for his passion,
technical skills and ability to rock the dance floor. In addition,
a burgeoning production career with releases on some of house music’s
most popular labels, bookings in the UK, US and IBIZA as well as status
as one half of SA’s most illustrious DJ duo, The Pimp Squad, confirms
that Guy Herman has made his way to the pinnacle of the dance music
industry in South Africa.

Guy Herman’s career began at the height of the explosive 90’s rave scene
in Johannesburg, South Africa. The underground, cutting-edge dance culture
of the late 90s was establishing itself in the new South Africa, and
influenced the hedonistic, body-moving house that distinguishes Guy Herman’s
music.  He moved quickly into the professional arena and in 2001, he secured
a place in the finals of The Technics Battle of the DJ’s. Following this
success,Guy was given his first residency at Club 206, a venue that is globally
recognizedas a clubbing institution and has played host to some of the world’s
finest acts.By playing alongside international acts of high quality, Guy built
the solid foundations for what has become a legendary career.

Guy Herman’s rapid growth as an experimental house DJ led to an important
partnership that would leave an indelible mark in the development and movement
of House in South Africa. In 2001, Sublime, a notoriously underground venue,
saw two of its most popular residents, Guy Herman and Jon S, team up to form
the legendary two-man DJ act, Pimp Squad. Playing simultaneously on four
different decks, the deadly duo combined sampling and beat juggling to wow
audiences across South Africa with their revolutionary sound.

The Pimp Squad’s deep and dirty house, combined with a dynamic garage fuelled
baseline and technical wizardry, took the South African club scene by storm.
Soon, the Pimp Squad was accompanying world-famous DJs, such as Joey Youngman,
Jason Hodges, Jake Childs, Jay West and Sexual Chocolate, on National tours
of South Africa, demonstrating the growing popularity of the Pimp Squad brand.

In 2005, the release of “Deeper Sounds of Pimp Squad - Scandalous”,  their debut
CD mix compilation released by USM Records, shocked Clubland to its foundations.
Their follow up album, “Pimp Squad Road Trip 2007” was equally successful and
delivered fresh new sounds to their growing fan base.

Yet being a member of the Pimp Squad did not diminish Guy’s hunger to stand on
his own as one of South Africa’s best DJ’s. In 2005, Guy secured a much coveted
weekly residency at JHB’s super club “Truth”, playing weekly for crowds of up
to two thousand people. His popularity saw him become a celebrity DJ in many
respects, playing at all the biggest venues across South Africa in Cape Town,
Port Elizabeth, Durban, Nelspruit and Pietermaritzburg.  A focus on touring
as well as playing regular mixes on popular radio shows, namely 5fm and Yfm,
have been instrumental making Guy Herman a household name. The fame and
respect that he has received throughout his career has ensured that he has
played alongside the worlds top DJ’s and producers, including Fatboy Slim,
Carl Cox, Wally Lopez, Sister Bliss (Faithless), Stanton Warriors, Dieselboy,
Inland Knights and Paul van Dyk.

While Guy’s credentials as a performer are impeccable, he has always looked
to expand his repertoire within the industry. In 2005, Guy began producing
and releasing his own music. He quickly signed several record deals and has
amassed an impressive discography of releases and remixes on both South African
and international imprints such as Funkfield, Junky Trunk, Down South Music,
Buzz Cut, Grooved Music and Second Session. 

In 2008, Guy’s genre-bending remix of quasi-fidget bomb "What's My Name"
spent almost two months on both the DJ Download and Stompy Top 100 Download
Charts. That same year, “Hectic Days”, a collaboration with Jay West sporting
a classic funk sample, dirty acidic baseline and inspired hip hop vocals, hit
the mark and enjoyed heavy rotation in the sets of some of the world’s leading
underground DJs. Guy has increased his production output to become one of the
finest, most sought after remixers in the current house music landscape. His
tracks and remixes have gained consistent support from the likes of Mark Farina,
Bryan Jones, Jason Hodges, Joey Youngman, Jay West, Lawnchair Generals,
Inland Knights, DJ Heather, Collette, Nate Laurence, Patrick Cresswell,
Sexual Chocolate and Jonty Scruff.

Guy made his international debut in Chicago in April 2008 for the renowned
Chi party brand music 101, alongside Andre Harris, Lady D and Ron Carroll.

Sound, Pacha, Inigo, Bar Sia and Khanya Beach Bar.

own 2-hourweekly radio show.  He conceptualised, compiled and
presented “The Movement”, showcasing interviews and guest mixes from the
likes of Frank Lorber, Nick Curly, Ramon Tapia, Wally Lopez, Emerson Todd
and Mowgli alongside his personal selection.
