UK jocks/promoter Paul Farris of FourFour Promotions has decided to put an end to the activities of his company. On an official statement, he said : Some of the biggest changes our scene has ever experienced – new technologies, new formats and an overall decline in sales -  have necessitated that we, along with our labels and artists, change the way we do business.

CD & mp3 promotion is definitely the way forward for most, and a newly connected and accessible house community has helped this along even further. We are proud of our small part in that.

Farris will continue to work a small number of select projects; and as well as keeping up a busy DJ schedule, hosting a show on Ministry Radio & contributing to M8 Magazine, will maintain Paul-Farris.Com with news, reviews and great new music. As for his now former collegues, Joel Chapman has taken up a full-time gig at Uptown Records. Meanwhile, Mel Louise is currently working on House Music Awards 2005 - building on last year's success to hopefully create an ongoing event that's a tribute to all that's great about house.

We feel that in this way we can continue to help to give exposure to artists, DJ's, labels and their music. And that's all we were ever really about anyway.

With best wishes,

Paul Farris, Mel Louise & Joel Chapman
