Background:

Justin Drake and Clive Henry met in 1994 when Justin was engineering a track Clive was producing for Skunk Records. The working relationship proved so successful that the pair began a collaborative project. Peace Division's first release, The Cool Edge EP on Kickin Records in 1994 received support from the likes of Derrick Carter and many other house music DJs and producers.

Justin Drake is the engineer of the duo and Clive Henry gained valuable experience as a member of the Flying Records crew Djing at the Gosh and The Bone parties in London.

Clive Henry started the Low Pressings label with Xpress 2 member/collaborator and friend Rocky. The Peace Division single "Body & Soul" sold over 12,000 copies worldwide on vinyl and their debut album "Junkyard Funk" was released in 2000.
