Hard house DJ Andy Simpson began his career like many, as a clubber himself, developing an ear for the music and a love for the scene.
After 10 years Andy took to the turntables and has spent the last 6 years developing his own style of mixing. Notorious for his “Hard and Fast†performances, Andy always causes a stir wherever he plays.
Andy likes to go out to his favourite clubs to do his homework, finding out “what’s doing it†for the crowds. This has helped him build up a strong following and so many friends in clubland.Although mainly focusing on the London circuit Andy is keen to progress, taking his talents further a field, and eventually making a start on some studio work.Andy’ s ambition will take him all across the UK and hopefully international if the opportunity rises.With his combined feelings of love, passion and enthusiasm for the art - Andy has become a very talented DJ.
