Biography
Since forming back in 2006, Filthy Funk Funk have become a prominent fixture in Europe's clubbing scene!
2007-2008 has been everything it promised. With massive bookings at some of the biggest and best clubs & promotions, including Dusted @ Eden, Hat Club @ Cafe Savannah (Ibiza), Abstract @ The Egg, Dusted @ Canvas, Connected @ Ministry of Sound, Heaven, Pacha and Turnmills (London), as well as Mecca and Duplex in Prague, 7nebe in Brno (Czech Republic), Honey Club in Brighton... the list goes on and on and on! This year they have added 'Shuffle' @ Plug in Sheffield to their list of resindencies, playing alongside some of the biggest names in house music in front of thousands of clubbers every month.
As well as their busy DJing schedule, FFF still manage to find enough time to run their massive monthly electro house night EROTIQUE at Mango in Reading, Vanilla in Windsor and Ghost in Northampton, appearing alongside the likes of Judge Jules, Martijn Ten Velden, Hoxton Whores and Herd & Fitz.
You might see them under their alias 'We are the afterparty' where they merge electro with progressive and even backdoor trance to create a more melodic vibe, without losing the creative flair synonymous with an FFF set.
Their key component is an almost-telepathic understanding of each other, which allows both of them to contribute on the decks at the same time- via acapellas, loops, effects, layering and reloops, all utilised to produce a quite unique sound to satisfy any lover of house music but still leave them gagging for more!

FFF Backgrounds
FFF are Paul Jay and Shaun Southall. Prior to forming FFF, both had been DJ's in their own right, with Paul Jays’ story starts at the age of 16 where he won a DJ'ing competition beating over 30 finalists in the Berkshire-Hampshire region. This spurred him on to various big nights, including Housework in Taunton, with his synonymous brand of funky chunky house. By 2002 Paul was running his own night called 'Back2Funk', which showcased alongside Slinky at Creation in Bristol, Metros in Camarthen, Molokos and Vision in Cardiff and Mango in Reading.
Shaun picked up his first residencies back in 1998 but made his name as resident at The Matrix in Reading, winner of DJ magazines' 'Club Night Of the Year' back in 2001. Thereafter he guest appeared for the likes of Jelly Baby, Miss Moneypennies, Gifted and Stockholms' Pride festival in 2002 alongside the likes of MJ Cole, Jim Shaft Ryan, Fergie, Angel and Lisa Marie Experience.
With FFF the whole is even greater than the sum of the parts, with the two working together to consistently manipulate their sounds to create a unique flavour of cut-up, looped and filtered house music, with acapellas and loops galore. Long may this beautiful relationship continue!
