Desert comprises of two band members Paul Kane and Paul Pringle, with regular guest appearances by vocalist Fitzy and percussionist Mav. Paul Kane has been a regular DJ at Liverpool super-club Cream for the past 8 years which has taken him on numerous national and international visits including gigs in Hong Kong, Israel, Cyprus, various Spanish Islands and residencies in Ibiza. Paul Pringle has been producing and engineering since 1991. His first collaboration was with the widely acclaimed Neuro Project in 1992, which led to tours in Holland and Belgium. Since then he has worked exclusively on Desert projects with Paul Kane – their first single "Moods" was signed to Stress Records who they continued to work with for the following year (see discography).
Various other productions ensued including remix work for Perfecto, Danny Tenaglia, Warners America and Mute as well as co-productions with Rob Jay of 3 Beat Records all under the name of Hong Kong Trash and a solo project by Paul Pringle, under the guise of Pascal Vegas, which was signed to Yoshi Toshi in America.
In 1997 to provide a further outlet for their productions they formed Glow Records, a label that soon earned the reputation of being at the forefront of UK produced underground house music. Glow received regular support from DJ’s all over the world including Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Roger Sanchez, Danny Rampling, Sasha, John Digweed, Deep Dish and Steve Lawler amongst others. Their tracks have acquired licenses around the world, including Holland, France, Germany, Japan, America, Israel and Hungary and have appeared on compilations such as Ministry of Sound, Renaissance, Global Underground, Perfecto, Blanco Y Negro, 8 Ball, Miss Moneypennies and Cyber. Whilst running Glow, Desert signed and released the first records by the likes of Steve Lawler and Lil Devious (now signed to Ministry of Sound).
More recently, Desert have just completed remixes on Cast’s "Desert Drought" (the first single taken from their forthcoming new album), Angel Moraes’ new single "Everybody’s Feelin", Depeche Mode’s "I Feel Loved" for Mute and "This is All I Need" by Gloss for Nude Records. Desert’s own production "Lettin Ya Mind Go" has just been signed by Mute imprint Future Groove and is set for release in September 2001 backed with remixes by Lottie, Doc Martin and King Unique. They are also in the studio completing recordings for their debut album, due for a release in late 2001 and writing tracks for the new Playstation 2 Wipeout game due for a release later this year. Summer 2000 saw Desert perform their first live gig at Creamfields with more gigs planned for this summer.
