About Hi-Gate
One of the most beloved, high-profile, trance and hard-house DJ's of the U.K., Judge Jules formed the Hi-Gate three-piece along with producer Paul Masterson and female vocalist Jina around the cusp of the 21st century. Quickly signed to Nick "Positiva" Halkes' Incentive Records, Hi-Gate fit into the enormously popular trance culture of the time, even though their unique brand of squeaking strings, haunting synths, and mammoth bass lines forged ahead into an unspoken attempt to meld the Ibiza-led ideals of their accustomed scene with the more Bacchic fervor of hardcore dance. Jules (born Jules O'Riordan), came from almost 15 years of spinning, punk rock infatuations, and KISS FM pirate radio host duties while oft-described "knob-twiddler" Paul Masterson came into the fold when Jules received early copies of Masterson's production work on Yomanda's massive "Synth & Strings" club favorite. With a quick addition of Jina on vocals -- and a name taken from Jules' own North London home -- Hi-Gate wasted no time to release their first series of well-liked singles in late 1999 and 2000. ~ Dean Carlson, All Music Guide

Another Way To Die Alicia Keys & Jack White |
| When Jack White and Alicia Keys were asked to write the theme to the latest Bond film, Quantum of Solace, it wasnt exactly the straightforward task you might imagine. Not only did they have to take the place of a much anticipated effort from Amy Winehouse, which predictably never materialised, they were also faced with the challenge of writing a theme for one of the most awkwardly phrased Bond films of all time. Quantum of Solace hardly rolls off the tongue after all! The result is a workmanlike effort that draws on many trademark elements of both the Bond franchise and the musicians musical repertoire. With snarling guitar riffs from Jack, overblown vocals and twinkling piano from Alicia and a few orchestral style stabs that hark back to the original John Barry theme, Another Way to Die is equal but no better than the sum of its parts. Despite popjustice.com branding the track the worst Bond theme of all time this song will fulfil its design brief when the credits to the film are rolling as it has enough OTT touches to make the expensive graphics look cool. | |
