About me

Seamus Haj began his DJing career at the tender age of 16 with a South London Soundsystem playing a mixture of early House, Soul and Hip Hop and soon secured his first residency at The Satellite. 

 
Following this, he became a regular fixture at the likes of MOS, Code, Bed and Pacha, London, also enjoying numerous residencies around the globe, including four years at Pacha, Ibiza. 

As well as DJing, producing and remixing, the past 10 years have seen Seamus gather a wealth of musical experience and knowledge. Having spent many years working in London’s foremost independent record shops, A&R roles at Slip ‘N’ Slide and of course Defected, plus writing for Blues & Soul, Echoes, Touch and Muzik magazines, Seamus is known & respected by DJs & producers of many genres of Dance around the world.

Armed with this background, he set up his own record label, Big Love, with Defected co-founder Janet Bell.  “Big Love is an organic, lo-pressure imprint for quality, club-based international house whereas Soul Love is it’s fairly self-explanatory Soul Sister”.  

He has also had multiple creative personalities over the years: Big Bang Theory, Mekkah and ‘11th Dimension and more recently Haji & Emanuel, resulting in the smash hits, “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life”(the remake being signed to Apollo and going Top 15 in the UK National Charts and being feted by the likes of Pete Tong as the next big thing!), “Weekend”  and “Take Me Away”, as well as the recently completed single “The Pressure” featuring Beverley Knight and Bryan Chambers.

He has become synonymous with quality, his DJ sets never disappoint, he’s a technical wizard and his productions are phenomenal. With DJ requests and remixes going off you get a sense when someone’s time has come, and for Seamus that time is now.
