The Beginerz got together in 2001 thanks to their mutual friend Stanton Warrior Dom B. Ewen MacNeil AKA Def-e had previously been producing tracks for Low Pressings and Kidsound in between Djing in the UK and Internationally, whilst Ibi Tijani was working as a programmer for Faithless. Their very first production, Reckless Girl, brought them instant international success and became 'the talk of the town'(according to Norman Cook anyway) at the 2002 Miami Winter Music Conference.

The Beginerz got together in 2001 thanks to their mutual friend Stanton Warrior Dom B. Ewen MacNeil AKA Def-e had previously been producing tracks for Low Pressings and Kidsound in between Djing in the UK and Internationally, whilst Ibi Tijani was working as a programmer for Faithless. Their very first production, Reckless Girl, brought them instant international success and became 'the talk of the town'(according to Norman Cook anyway) at the 2002 Miami Winter Music Conference. They set foot back in the UK to find themselves top of the Buzz Chart, Cool Cuts and Hype Chart simultaneously. Seb Fontaine, Judge Jules and Pete Tong all got behind the track which pushed it straight up the UK charts to 28 when it was released through Cheeky Records (BMG). Internationally, 'the track of the year'(Judge Jules words, not ours!) was heavily playlisted on radio and TV. Such success, brought an intense schedule of remixes... Mousse T, Faithless, Dido, Apollo 440, Bini and Martini, Mint Royale and INXS have all came knocking at the door since. Their second single, History, which they released a year later saw a return to their blues inspired production and brought them back to their underground roots. It was first promoted on Wax Habit, then taken round the world by fledgling label DTPM. Since then the pair have locked themselves in the studio, emerging only for their numerous DJ bookings (and Ewen's commitments as manager of Uptown Records) and consequently have a host of forthcoming releases.
