About Me

The Artist Previously known as Double OP!!!!!!! I've been in love with the dance music scene as a clubber and dj since the late eighties - from old school hip hop to acid house, hardcore, jungle, techno, drum and bass, garage and house. Basically anything with beats, bleeps, breaks and bass!!
Previously known as DJ OOP, I packed my record cases in 99 to and ended up spending 6 summers in Kavos, Corfu as resident DJ in the infamous but legendary London Bar - playin uk garage, house and drum and bass.
I decided to temporarily hang up the headphones in 2006 and swap blazing hot summers in Greece for moderately warm Julys in London to start producing my own tunes. I try not to sample stuff or use other peoples stuff. All melodies, vocals and basslines are mine. I really love all kinds of music so i produce all kinds of music. I just wanna make tunes that make you wanna bounce of the walls and throw your hands up!! Im workin on it!! Anyway, have a listen and see what you think!Some of My favourite dance tunes are Cafe Del Mar (Energy 52), Valley of The Shadows (Origin Unknown), Renegade Snares (Omni Trio). We I E (Lenny D Ice), Cada Vez (Don't know who it's by!!), Children (Robert Miles), Papua New Guinea (Future Sound of London), Reminisce (Pete Rock/ CL Smooth), Strong Island (Strong Island), Piano Tune (Peshay) Outer Space (Prodigy)
Would you like a sample of some Double Opium?First release is due out in HMV very soon - a 4 track vinyl with 2 garage tunes, 1 house and 1 electro tune. please check it out!! - Double Opium -
