Ioannis Selimas and Peter Cazley make up the production duo known as JOSEL & PEDRO. Originally working on several production projects individually, they combined their unique sounds in what has become a partnership of production quality.

JOSEL (Ioannis Selimas) was born in the small town of Kenourgio, on the western side of Greece. His first experience in DJing came in 1992. This initial interest in dj'ing was sparked by the acid house and deeper trance sound which at the time was thriving in the edm underground scene. As his dj skills and love for music increased, he began to throw his own house parties and had residencies in small bars and clubs in his home town.

Visiting the UK to study, he was introduced to the progressive house scene, which up until this day has defined his sound. At the moment, apart from studying for a PhD, he is producing music as JOSEL (of JOSEL & PEDRO) and runs the AMBER night in Manchester with PEDRO and DJ Nikita.

PEDRO (Peter Cazley) was born in Leicester, England in 1976. He began DJing in 1994 and one year later would play at Luxor alongside Mark Younghead of MYNC Project. This provided a new experience of the house music scene as did the influence of Jeff Allen & T. Baron of Fresh FM and Steve of BPM Records. At the age of 20 he moved to the south-east of England to study at university, eventually meeting Josel, who shared the same love and passion for music. After graduating from university, Pedro moved to Manchester where he has continued to expand his musical interest.

Within a month of sending out their first promotional demo, Josel and Pedro had three tracks signed to NYC based Acute Recordings and another track signed to a German based record label for a CD compilation. The first A list dj to grab a hold of Josel and Pedro's promo work was Hernan Cattaneo, who featured three of their tracks in his world-wide successful radio show as he also featured a third Josel and Pedro track on his July 2005 top 20 chart.

It's not often that you will find producers having so much success with sending out their first promotional demo. While remaining modest and thankful of their recent success, this success has come well deserved as they welcome fans with open arms who have been catching on to the quality and sound that they form as Josel and Pedro.
