About Me

I have a new "mini-bio" for DJ'ing... I hate these things, but this kind of works:

Pulling a variety of influences from 80s new wave, to techno, electro and more; Spiggy has become widely recognized in the region for his unique ability to tread the line between dark grit and light pop. He also bounces... a lot!
