Harvey Bailey has been DJing for 19 years, and professionally for 14 years. His style is unique and impossible to label as one genre. It ranges from the old skool garage US sound of the early nineties to upfront dubby, tribal, underground house with all sorts in between but its always bumpin, top quality music with lashings of pixie dust. A DJ of superior caliber and experience, Harvey is able to read a crowd through every stage and is a master at creating the right atmosphere day or night.
