Judge Jules (born Julius O'Riordan, 26 October 1966) is a British dance music DJ, producer and entertainment lawyer. Known for his DJ activities, music production and popular radio show which achieved global success. He was voted the No1 DJ in the World by DJ Magazine in 1995.
Jules was educated at Highgate Wood Secondary School, a state school in Highgate Wood in North London and University College School, an independent school for boys in Hampstead (also in North London), followed by the London School of Economics (LSE), where he earned a degree in law. During his time at university, Jules started hosting small parties where he was the DJ and also earned the nickname "Judge Jules" due to his field of study.
Judge Jules began DJing professionally back in 1987. He was quickly hired by the then-pirate radio station Kiss (UK radio station). He began his show with Radio 1 in October 1997. When he first arrived, his show went out between 17:00 and 19:00 on Saturday evenings, ahead of Danny Rampling's show. From 31 July 2004, after the departure of Seb Fontaine from the station, his show was moved to between 19:00 and 21:00 on Saturday nights, ahead of Tim Westwood. The show was widely advertised as, "The UK's Saturday Warmup", or "The Weekend Warm-Up". One of the most infamous jingles used on the show during this time described it as, "The Sound Of Saturday Night". The show kept this slot until September 2007.
When I look at my life,
I think how others might see me
When I look in the mirror,
I'm pleased... of what I'm seeing,
Material faces, I've got enough,
I can't really ....,
I've had it tough,
But it's this one thing, one ...
That's missing in my life,
I need some one,
Without love, I have nothing (4)
Nothing without love
That's all I can make out of it, hope it's of some help.
