DJ, writer, performer, record label owner and all-around pop activist Jean-Emmanuel Deluxe was born in Rouen, the city of Joan of Arc, Gustave Flaubert and Marcel Duchamp. His mother was Portuguese and passed on to him a deep love of music with a saudade (a joyful form of melancholia) quality. After spending many of his childhood years drawing his favourite cartoon characters, Deluxe enrolled at Rouen Art School. He moved to Sheffield, England to take post-graduate courses. While there he met Pulp, Designer’s Republic and Warp Records. His interest in music led him to launch his own record labels, Come Together and Euro-Visions. He was the first to bring April March to the attention of French audiences and introduced her to Bertrand Burgalat (Tricatel), which resulted in some memorable collaborations. His latest record label, Martyrs Of Pop, has released music by artists such as Jay Alanski (Beautiful Losers) and Jacques Duvall (Leatherman), the men behind some of pop princess Lio’s best songs. Deluxe has written for the UK’s Nude and Shindig magazines, plus Roctober (in the USA) and Outré (Australia). He currently writes for Standard, Lui, Schnock and Rock & Folk in France. Having written several books in French, his first in English, Yé-Yé Girls Of 60s French Pop, was published in 2013 to rave reviews in Mojo, the Independent and the Telegraph.

Sheila B. has spent most of her life in the dusty old record shops of New York, London, Paris and Tokyo in an attempt to own every 60s girl-pop 45 in existence. She has worked as an artist manager, editor at progressive girl culture magazine BUST, head of A&R for UK production house Xenomania, columnist for MTV Japan, DJ and music supervisor. She has produced and written the liner notes for several compilations including Rhino Records’ Grammy-nominated “One Kiss Can Lead to Another: Girl Group Sounds Lost & Found” box set and Big Beat’s “Nippon Girls: Japanese Pop, Beat & Bossa Nova 1966-1970”.

At age 15, she founded her first fanzine, Plume, as an attempt to escape suburban hell and share her enthusiasm for My Bloody Valentine, Bikini Kill and the Blake Babies. Plume was selected as “fanzine of the month” in popular alternative teen-girl mag Sassy, which resulted in a larger-than-expected readership and sacks of fan-mail. Three years later, she moved to London to pursue a career in the music biz, but instead found herself hanging out with a crew of British record collectors, learning the crucial difference between a VG+ and M- vinyl record. Upon returning to NYC in 1998, she started her subsequent fanzine Cha Cha Charming, as a way to reconcile her love for record collecting, 60s girl singers, heavy metal + Japanese chart pop. After three print issues, Cha Cha Charming found its home online as the go-to site for girl-powered pop – from the past, present and future, and from all over the globe.

Not at the moment. Job opportunities at Ace occur very seldom. If we do have to fill a role, we would post the details on this website and advertise in the London press.

Ace's policy is we do not employ interns. As a small company everyone has their own responsibilities and we simply don't have the time or resources to train and supervise anyone employed on a short-term basis. We believe an intern's time and effort would not be rewarded with proper training and experience and we do not wish to exploit people.
