Dj Janus (Harry.A) was born in Johannesburg South Africa and based in Cyprus. He has been mixing records for many years, and was influenced heavily in the 90s by electronic music, and by many variants of ambient sound. Fascinated by club music, he took up a job in Turnmills in 1999 (the gallery), one of the major trance clubs in the London underground scene, where he found inspiration for blending electronic music.

Influenced by many, he continued to find his own sound, and in 2002 he decided to bring his musical message back home. Participating at many organized events and clubs around the island, his music and mixes became widely embraced. Promoted by you-name-it events, it became apparent through his efforts that there was much more to come through the following years, residing in several successful events.

Teaming up later on with Pleasure Sounds, he appeared with guest performances at many of the Pleasure Sound Events around the Island. Dj Janus remains modest and still continues to use only vinyl for playing music. Currently he is working in the studio on a number of tracks that will be released in the near future, also with mix compilations on the way.
