HotFreeLayouts Lloyd began his journey into clubland at the tender age of 15, hosting private parties and entertaining pub-goers around his hometown of Doncaster. It was his time spent at Brunel University (West London) where Lloyd developed a real taste for house and garage music (influences: KISS FM, Club For Life). He landed his first warm-up slot at Isabellas – Sheffield (later Club Uropa) and used his time as a warm-up jock to refine this taste. On completion of his studies, he returned to South Yorkshire and played in a number of commercial/corporate venues before landing a residency at long running after-hours club Casa Loco in Leeds (a residency he still holds today). Here (and at his own night Dubweiser) Lloyd found the opportunity to develop his own style of house and garage, and reactions from dancefloors spurred him into the studio with long-time friend and DJ/Producer Mark Smith. Under the guise of Mr. Meaner and with the help of various collaborators they produced a number of E.P.’s that are still firm favourites on Yorkshires Dancefloors. Lloyd continued to make guest appearances, working in Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, when in 2001 the Gatecrasher office called and requested his services at their hard-house night at Bed nightclub, Raukous (playing alongside Mauro Piccoto, Eddie Halliwell, Rachel Auburn etc.). This in-turn led onto guest appearances in the Digital Revolution (funky) room at Gatecrasher, making his debut on their 7th Birthday party (alongside Trophy Twins, Sharon O’Love, etc)! More club success followed with the work he’s done at Bed’s successor to Raukous, Better Days – a retro/classics night hosted by legends K-Klass, where Lloyd held a fortnightly residency. Other work includes guest appearances with Ibiza Untouched (nightclub stage-show), and being crowned “Revs Resident,” for the popular motoring magazine – Revs (working at Max Power Live 2002-5 – Birmingham NEC, Max Power London – Docklands Excel Centre 2003-5, Trax 2002-4 – Silverstone Race Track, and other major motoring events). Lloyd now works for the Max Power magazine at these events. A multi talented and well-rounded dj, Lloyd has also worked for Live Music Management since 2001, working throughout the country in various commercial venues (Walkabout Bars, Bar Risa, Surfers, Jongleurs Etc) until present day. More studio work was done in 2004, and Lloyd saw more club/dancefloor success with, a remake of, “My Life Is In Your Hands,” under the guise, “Cocamo,” (Tempo Records) in 2005. Clubbing success looks likely to continue as well, since Casa Loco was sadly closed down in 2004, the night was moved to a Friday slot (Funkylicous) at The Warehouse – Leeds, where Lloyd still holds the residency. This night proved to be a massive success, and spawned a monthly 3-Room extravaganza on Saturday night, ’Hanky Panky,’ at the fantastic Northern Light – Leeds. 2006 saw Lloyd finally receive an invite to the nightclub Mecca that is Ibiza. Where he played sets, throughout the summer at Coastline, Eden Beach Bar, and superclub Eden, for the bassline outfit, ‘Bassic Instinct.’ 2007 sees Lloyd return to the studio with DJs Caspa & D-Tox (as the, “System Allstarz,” on Bless UK Records), and the launch of Allnight Anthems club night in the Yorkshire region (Club Classics / Retro). Now heading into 2008, and Lloyd embarks on another studio project, “The Allnighterz,” with vocalists Honey Brown, and Lady Chanyai. Their first release, “Body Groove,” looks set to be a 2008 summer smash-hit. As you can probably tell by now, Lloyd has a varied musical range, and can provide a set in all genres Dance (Funky House, Electro, Hard Dance), Chart/Party, RnB, but specialises in Retro Dance (19yrs experience) and Bassline House/Speed Garage. With this versatility and Knowledge through experience, teamed with a competent microphone technique, all you need to do is describe your aims.
