Ok, Sy mixes alone, but does Unknown actually hold his own sets? How come Unknown doesnt do cd mixes by himself? But together, they make some awosme tracks and remixes :)

Unknown is more a producer than a DJ but he does play the occasional set on his own (although you're MUCH more likely to see him play with Sy).
A bit like Ham really - talented but never got that much recognition as a DJ in his own right.

Unknown mixed The Fusion album (A Point To Be Made) back in 97. Pulled off 2 cracking mixes.
But Unknown has had plenty of solo bookings. He's just as talanted as Sy on the decks. Mixing anyway.......

Discogs has a bit of useful info on DJ Unknown who is also known as The Unkown Project. http://www.discogs.com/artist/DJ+Unknown
His real name is Chris Sargent and his best work IMO is Critical Heights (1997) which is on The Ultimate Hardocre album and has a remix by Hixxy on Bonkers 2 (1997) and Hixxy's Old Skool killa kuts (Bonkers 13, 2004)

Not much is known about Unknown apart from the fact he chooses to remain not very well known by unknown ppl who think they know him but really dont know so are unknown to him

quosh is the parent label of triffik tunes
unknown has come over to the states a couple times but he usually played along sy. as previously mentioned unknown is/was the better producer of the two (after ripped2f*ck I don't know though  ) and sy was the better dj as far as scratching.

2 - 3 weeks ago sy & unknown played @ air birmingham for polysexual nite. SY had a 2 hour un MC'ed mix which was amazing best set ever & Unknown had his own 1 hour half set also a very good set with a great selection of tunez and fab mixing.
I read a interview from Sy i think it was on trackitdown.com saying they both met when sy was shagging unknown's mum & he walked in them getting it on. Unknown new he was a producer & showed some of his stuff to sy & whala the mighty duo.

I met Unknown once. I was playing at "The Pleasure Rooms" in Tottenham, (er Labyrinth I think). Anyway I was finishing my set and this bloke told me that he was on next. I was off my nut (I had been boozing all evening) and hadn't finished playing whatever I was wanting to play and I came accross all wrong - really off and a bit aggressive too  . I finally asked him "who are you anyway?" Then he told me, "I am DJ Unknown". I felt like a right plonker.
Even thinking about it now makes me cringe
