About Me

Originally from Leeds/Huddersfield but split my time with Newcastle & London aswell these days... I play a variety of genres combined into one unique sound fusing dirty jackin' house & electro crossed with chunky breaks and beats gelled into deep and trippy progressive breaks & melodies. Production wise; I tend to construct tracks depending on my mood and thoughts at the time. I am currently completing my Afterhours EP with 6 downtempo numbers on it in addition to several other projects.................................................... ................................................ I hold a residency for an absolutely top drawer underground night in London -JSL Productions present Relentless. Love blending the old technology with the new, vinyl, CDJ's, EFX unit trying to create something a little different................................................... ................................................... I'll continue to post my mixes & production material on this page........................................... Feel free to get in touch.
