After several years as a promoter (notably Camouflage and Breakcore Extravaganza) and resident at various club nights (Super Scientists, Pogo Vogue, Dogma and more), Espion made his first real mark on the underground scene in 2005, with sell-out releases on Transparent Sounds label Orson Records. Since then, his diversity in his music has seen him progress into a well established artist, releasing with Transparent Sound, Swayzak, Bangkok Impact, Mesak, Scape One, John Selway, Paul Blackford, Vector Lovers and C-System, with frequent plays on Dave Clarke's White Noise radio show in recent months. So far Espion has played all over the UK, Prague and Shenzhen (China), with a worldwide tour in planning for 2008/09.
Shouts going out to The Hycon, Hectic, Medooza, The Hidden Persuader, Urban Textures, Umwelt, The Outsider, Headnoaks & everyone at FrequencyRadio, Kamil and Ondra at Machinefunck, Dave Clarke, C-System, Mazzula, Transparent Sound, Point B, Sir Real, Scape One, 2PointZero, Roman & Lilonee at Reldz, Paul and Edd at Bass Gun, Tres and Geoff, plus everyone at Deadlock, Silvio and Sarge at Crazy Language, all the promoters, DJ's and VJ's in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Love to all my friends around the world, and especially to Jay, the most amazing girl in my life - my best friend who restored my faith in love.
