Jerry Dickens

Jerry Dickens, stage name Red Jerry, has at various times been a DJ, music producer, remixer, record shop owner, digital retailer, journalist and digital marketing manager .
In 1989 he founded Hooj Choons in 1991 with ex school mate Phil Howells. Howells left in 1992 to join FFrr, Hooj went on to release 150 + 12's/Albums/CDs until folding in 2002.
Probably best known for re-releasing the mid-90's dance floor hit "Café Del Mar" by Energy 52, which remains a dance floor classic. It specialised in progressive house and progressive trance, although later releases dabbled in breaks, deep house, electro and ambient flavours. It shut down in mid-2003 due to ongoing financial difficulties, but returned in 2006 under the same management as Lost Language. Only a few new releases appeared on the label, and the company Hooj Choons Ltd. that operated since 1993 was dissolved in 2010. After a few years in a dormant state, the Hooj name has again been restarted in January 2014, with an expected "sparse but high quality release schedule".
