LEIGH MIDDLETON
FOUNDER / DJ
Leigh has been playing records and been involved in underground events in London since the late 90′s, as part of the 2-Step and UK Garage scene. GET SOME was founded when he got together with his friend Jasset and decided they wanted to be involved in the resurgent bass scene, throwing their first party in October 1999 supporting up and coming artists.

JASSET HARLECH
FOUNDER/DJ
Jasset quit his job as a boy racer and moved from the West Midlands to the bright lights of London in 2004. From there, he stumbled across local pirate radio stations like Rinse (100.3 as it was back then) and Kool FM, swapping hard house for the sounds of grime and jungle. Not such an angry kid any more, but still rocking tracksuits on a daily, Jasset now only has two types of music, stuff he likes and stuff he doesn’t. After meeting Leigh, they thought it might be a good idea to take music a bit more seriosuly. When not working on a Get Some project, Jasset makes music and fashion videos.
