Blackhall & Bookless

Hailing from the Northeast of England and now located in London, DJ-producers Blackhall & Bookless are beginning to forge a strong name for themselves in electronic sphere, working in close connection to their own Jaunt imprint, which has made the journey from club night to record label without ever forgetting its roots.

Being grounded in longterm friendship has kept their approach to music honest, and enabled them to keep their sound unique and effective. As their reputation grows with those in the know, Blackhall & Bookless find themselves playing further afield. Always showing themselves to be an adaptable duo – playing regularly in such venerated spaces as Fabric, The Zoo Project, Gottwood, Space Ibiza – Blackhall & Bookless deliver a consistent and authentic dancefloor experience, with a sound both direct and immersive, combining hedonism and depth at the intersection of techno and house.

Since the inauguration of Jaunt Events in Newcastle 2007, and since moving to London in 2012, Jaunt has travelled all over Europe. Hosting quality artists such as Omar S, Dixon, Marcel Dettmann, Shed, Kerri Chandler, Ryan Elliot, Zip – Jaunt is always prepared with the journey in mind, and the duo are always developing their potential as artists and gaining a strong fanbase wherever they play.

The natural progression of these events has lead to the founding of Jaunt Records in September 2014, and the DIY approach of best friends doing what they love best has remained as the basis of this new endeavour. Blackhall & Bookless have been developing their game carefully, waiting intelligently for the right time to be reached, so that this venture can be launched in full maturity. Their first EP on Jaunt Records, accompanied by remixes from Fred P and Virginia, met critical acclaim and this has lead them on to work alongside other carefully selected artists such as Mike Dehnert, Don Williams, Bleak and Luke Hess – with many more lined up for the future.
