About Me

Im a 22 year old DJ/Producer currently based in Newcastle Upon Tyne. I would describe my style as Glitchy Minimal/Techno with a bit of Prog, Tech House and the occasional Electro track thrown in for good measure.

I got my first set of Decks at the age of 14 and started my DJ career playing Hard House and Trance. I played my first gig at the age of 15 in a local bar based in my home town of Berwick Upon Tweed. After three or four years of DJ’ing at local bars and underground parties I decided to try my hand at producing. I gained a National Diploma in Music Technology at Newcastle College and then furthered my education in music by enrolling and graduating from a Music Production Foundation Degree, also at Newcastle College.

In my early productions I tried blending my two favourite genres at the time, which where Progressive house and Techno. Through this more experimental stage in my music taste I looked to find other music similar to what I was making at the time, and discovered the more refined and striped back genre of Minimal. Starting to include Minimal in both my productions and DJ sets I started to refine my sound, developing a strong taste for the more forward thinking and glitchy side of Minimal and Techno
