Renowned as DJs who never fail to deliver the goods, their worldwide travels have taken in some of the biggest events and festivals across the globe, and also some of the most bizarre, including islands in the Philippines, bush parties in Australia and atop of volcanoes in the far-east. Their Deepblue record label and its sub-labels maintain a steady flow of high quality and inspirational releases, including some of the biggest club records of recent years - Young Parisians 'Jump The Next Train' (2004-5) and Solarstone & Jes - Like A Waterfall' (2006) being two of the most recent.
Somehow, in amongst all this they find the time to host their very own Deepblue Radio Show, which broadcasts across FM and Web networks worldwide, to an audience of over a 5 million people.It's been a career of chance-meetings, unbelievable highs and some crushing disappointments, but the collective of brilliant musicians, vocalists, family and friends they have around them always ensures that they deliver the goods. The scene has undergone many mutations over the years, but it always returns to where it began - Grooves, Melody and emotion - without which there wound be no dance music, and there would be no Solarstone

John OO with A&N  Agnelli & Nelson
Chris Agnelli and Robbie Nelson have been writing and producing dance music together since 1997. Their massive Balaeric classics 'El Nino' and 'Everyday' have helped define the sound of the Ibiza party spirit, while five UK top thirty hits and countless buzz chart remixes have ensured that the pair remain synonymous with the more musical end of club music.
Robbie and Chris have remixed major artists from rock legends U2 to dance music kings Ferry Corsten and Armin Van Burren. Recent club incursions have been with touch-ups for Matt Darey, Jon the Dentist, Scott Bond vs Solar Stone and former label-mates Chicane. They have provided six guest mixes on BBC Radio One (including two live NYE specials) and appeared on Top of the Pops.
Agnelli and Nelson produce music for Xtravaganza and under pseudonyms (Afterburn, Cortez) for labels such as Tsunami and ID&T. Their most recent original track 'Holding Onto Nothing' was championed by the likes of Oakenfold and Paul Van Dyk, who made a special re-rub of the track for his own Vandit imprint.
On the travel front, the Irish duo have been spinning throughout the world from the U.S. to Japan, as well as regular European and UK dates such as Passion, Godskitchen, Gatecrasher and Slinky. Robbie and Chris are represented in the UK by the Fresh DJ agency and internationally by Dance Therapy (Holland).
