SensesSenses grew up surrounded by a diverse range of music from an early age, from jazz to soul to classical. Hip Hop though was his first love, as soon as he started to earn money washing cars and mowing lawns he started started buying hip hop. Groups like BDP, De La Soul, EPMD and Public Enemy – "oddly enough something about the music connected with me," he states.Then came the advent of drum and bass.When Senses started DJing aged 15, his taste developed in tandem with the burgeoning jungle scene. "It was just a natural development to my taste – it was evolutionary!" By the time he was 17 he was picking up bookings for raves like Awesome101 and Phantasia. His stature within the Scottish scene grew, with residencies at Awesome 101's weekly club (circa 92–93), and at Timeless Recordings’ night at the SubClub in Glasgow by 1995. Senses also later formed part of the DJ backbone of the legendary Edinburgh club night, Manga.
In 2000 Senses made the almost inevitable step into production. "I always wanted to make music, at school I learned to play the oboe, but never really got much encouragement. But it was like an itch, and so eventually I got a loan and bought some equipment, and tried to work out what button did what!" Having spent such a long time frustrated at being unable to express himself musically, Senses can now be found spending a lot of time working in the studio.This dabbling has lead him to release music on a spectrum of labels such as Bassbin, Metalheadz, Inperspective, Horizons and Subtle Audio and fans from all over the world.
After moving to London permanently to immerse himself in the music scene in 2001 there he met Chris Inperspective and Equinox and a strong bond was born. One of the founding members and residents of London's legendary Technicality, he has also dj'ed all over Europe and in America makng many friends along the way. "Although I love producing, dj'ing is still what it is all about for me, I love performing and seeing people react to music, it always has been about that for me and that will never change"
