About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorFirst and foremost a classically trained pianist from the age of 7 is when Alistair's career in music officially started. As his teens passed, his love for dance music progressed from 90's old skool to the present day hard dance scene which is now what consumes his life.From making megamixes, mix tapes and composing as a child, it was only natural that this would then become his profession.His first release was on DMC records in 2004 with a bootleg remix of 'The Tamperer - Feel It' vs 'Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round.' Since then he has made numerous productions and bootlegs ranging from pop ballads right through to bangin' hard dance!As an aerobics instructor during the week, his passion for performing comes naturally throughout is energetic DJ sets, which helped secure him his first residency of four years in 2002 while living in Aberdeen before travelling to Ibiza in 2007 to work for Tidy Ibiza, fulfilling a dream of playing in Es Paradis and at Tidy Pool Parties, where he warmed up for DJs including Kym Ayres, Garbo & Daley, Alex Kidd & The Tidy Boys.After completing a Music Production course in 2008, he now lives in Manchester and played at events including 'Tuition' & 'Wobble' at Scubar and 'Subway City' in Birmingham.Continually learning how to improve his production skills and techniques with each track he makes, his ultimate aim now, in the hopefully not-to-distant future, is to get his tracks signed and released. With collaborations alongside various hard dance producers and engineers on the horizon, The Cyber Scotsman’s future in the music industry, looks to be a very exciting one indeed!
