N-Joi formed in 1990 when
Nigel Champion and
Mark Franklin (2) AKA
Marc Kulak were 20 years old. They were later joined by
Samantha Sprackling AKA
Saffron. Initially playing illegal underground warehouse parties, they subsequently had quite some chart success. Adding
Saffron's vocal performance to the "underground" sound brought N-Joi to a wider audience and they became one of the more successful dance acts of the early 1990's. They were the first Techno act to appear on UK's "Top Of The Pops" and took their live performances around the world, touring the USA, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia. They did remixing work for artists such as
Annie Lennox and toured the UK supporting
Prodigy, The.
After finishing the 1995 US tour, the members of N-Joi decided to go their separate ways (Sprackling became lead singer of
Republica, Champion and Kulak continued writing, producing and remixing.
Due to demand for live gigs, Nigel and Marc got back together again and, since the beginning of 2002, have been performing around the UK. They decided to re-group and write some new material as well as including remixes of their past hits.
Andrew Loveday is the new member of N-Joi. He has been involved in the music industry since 1992 as a promoter and DJ.
