DVNT the DJ
DVNT got decks as soon as he went to University in 2003 having been introduced to Drum & Bass, Jungle and Breaks that Summer.
After roughly a year of avoiding University work and practicing he landed a Friday night, 4+ hour residency. Somehow he swung it convinced them to lend him the venue, Bar Ingo, for his new night: Pickled. A monthly breaks night, among the first in Lincoln, the town of his University.
DVNT has been resident DJ for T-Dance, Greenpeace Lincoln, Eclectic Beats, weekly resident at the Attic and Bar Ingo. He’s spun at Formula and following requests played 3 gigs in a row at Lincoln’s biggest night, Digital. He has guested on the award winning website radioshow nuskoolbreaks on the Butane Pick & Mix show. And in the Summer of 2007 played at his first festival; Hamswell Festival, just outside of Bath
Since May 2007 DVNT has been hosting his own show MANTIS on BRAP.FM .
