7th Heaven Remix & Production
7th Heaven [members: Jon Dixon & Andy Wetson] is a British remix and music production team founded in 2008, releasing their first single in the same year. Producing mainly uplifting house and dance-pop music, the duo are best known for remixing mainstream pop and RnB tracks as well as producing some Cover version's of original tracks.
History
7th Heaven was started in 2008 by Jon Dixon and Andy Wetson, two of the people behind Almighty Records. During the late 90's and early 2000s the remix team at Almighty was managed by Wetson, a resident DJ at Royal Vauxhall Tavern, a gay nightclub in London. Jon Dixon was the lead producer, and to until 2010 headed up many Almighty remixes and in-house productions. They both played a major role in making Almighty one of the world’s most successful commercial remix teams ever.
7th Heaven debuted in early 2008 with the release of Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent featuring Katherine Ellis, a remixed version of a hit song originally released in 1986 by R&B singer Gwen Guthrie. Soon after the pair ceased working with Almighty to pursue their own success. Since then, 7th Heaven has been commissioned by a large number of dance and pop artists to record remixed versions of their songs and has released over 250 remixes since its formation. In 2010, 7th Heaven became one of the UK's most prolific remix teams, producing in excess of 50 remixes (up to November 2010) across many of the major record labels.
