Further afield, Luvdup have played numerous gigs and summer residencies in Ibiza (Pikes, Manumission, Ku, Es Paradis, Eden) as well as throughout the rest of Europe and beyond - The Canaries, Cyprus, Greece, Bulgaria, Latvia, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Russia, Georgia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and South Africa have all experienced that special “Luvdup Magic”.
It's not just DJing that established the Luvdup name so strongly either, as they caused quite a stir with their work in the studio too.
They performed mixing duties on several best-selling dance compilations and were awarded a gold disc by the BPI in 1996 for 100,000 sales of Fantazia’s The House Collection - Club Classics album which many still consider one of the great mix compilations of the 90s.
Their own debut track “Good Time” was Pete Tong's Essential New Tune on Radio 1’s Essential Selection and they also worked on over 40 remixes for such well-known acts as Womack and Womack, M. People and The Charlatans. They received widespread critical kudos for their remixes of “What You Need” by Soft House Company, “Get Off Your High Horse” by Rollo Goes Camping and “Club Lonely” by Sam Ellis (which Graeme Park made his Single of the Week in Mixmag Update, frequently playing the Luvdup remix in his peak-time sets and notably featuring it as the opening track on the iconic 1995 Cream Live compilation).
To quote from a Mixmag article -
“Without people like Luvdup, the great British club scene would be a much sadder place”.
