Unquestionably one of South Africa’s finest House DJs & one half of legendary DJ duo, the Pimp Squad, Guy Herman launched what has become a stellar career with early residencies at SA nightclubs 206, Reality and Sublime. Having played everything from deep house to garage to breakbeat to electro, Guy’s current sound is a mixture of jackin’ house & crunchy electro beats.

Guy Herman first took to the decks in 1999. His natural talent saw him move into the professional arena at a meteoric pace and by 2001 he had succeeded in securing a place in the finals of the SA Technics Battle of the DJ’s. Since then, Guy developed his alter ego as a member of the Pimp Squad, where he and fellow DJ Jon S have established themselves alongside SA’s finest.

Undeniably South Africa’s most popular DJ duo, the Pimp Squad was formed in 2001 when Guy Herman and Jon S, both established DJ’s in their own right, teamed up at Sublime’s first Boiling Point event. 2 DJ’s, 4 Turntables and 2 DJ Boxes at either end of the dancefloor.. and so the legend was born. The duo have been partners in crime ever since, rocking dance floors across the country and presently holding a much coveted residency at Truth Nightclub in Midrand.

Not satisfied with the mere craft of mixing music, Guy began producing and releasing his own music almost 2 years ago. Perpetually busy in studio adding to his already impressive discography he now has releases and remixes out both locally and internationally on imprints such as Junky Trunk, Grooved, Second Session, Downsouth, Buzz Cut, Funkfield, Flexual and forthcoming on Electric Sushi, Roostar, Casual Kickback and Candy Music. His production credits can also be found on compilations such as Partyhouse Vol. 1, Truth Vol. 5, Full Throttle and of course the most recent Pimp Squad album compilation release, Road Trip 2007.

Whether in tandem as Pimp Squad or manning the decks solo and causing ultimate mayhem, Guy’s versatility, impeccable talent and exuberant style has ensured billing alongside some of the worlds top DJ’s and Producers including Carl Cox, Tom Novy, Inland Knights, Dieselboy, Charles Webster, Richie Louisy & Jack Henney, DJ Yellow, DJ Daze, Bruno Banner (Troublemen), Harrison Crump, Alex Kid, Kaskade, Tim Westwood, Geoff Kemp (Rapture), Malcolm Duffy, Sister Bliss, Brandon Block, Mr Thing (Scratch Perverts), Dominic B (Stanton Warriors) and Justin Robertson and he has accompanied names such as Joey Youngman, Jason Hodges, Jake Childs, Jay West and Sexual Chocolate on national tours of South Africa.

Guy has held residencies at 206, Reality, Sublime, Tramps, Sudada and for All Good and played regularly for Matric Rage, KISS, Next Movement, YFM, 5FM, FTV, Roxy’s, Crazy88, Suede, Tempo’s, Malabar, Catwalk, Groove Bar, Carfax, Tilt, Raffles, Bang Bang Club, Deluxe, 52Parliament, Numbers, The Deck, VIP in Plett & Fashion Lounge in Botswana to name a few. He continues to play at almost every major club in SA and is currently a resident at Sutra, Chilli Lounge, Truth and H2O.

Guy Herman can best be described as a performance DJ and producer who take his skills to the limits to present an orgasmic sonic and visual experience.
