Sabotage a new monthly student night for the people of Kettering bringing you rock, metal rap and other hardcore stuff. This is held at the Prince of Wales, it has been regarded as the most original and best alternative pub in the surrounding area for quite a few years.
I’ve always had a love for music. At the age of 2 my dad had to hide his records to stop me playing them and inevitably scratching on them! At only 8 years old I DJ’d at my lower school and have been interested in playing music ever since! To cut a long story short, I then went on to gain a combined Hons Degree in Music and Business Studies.
I have DJ’d at many venues across England and for many well known bands such as, FEEDER, The EDITORS, FUNERAL For A FRIEND, BIFFY CLYRO, and most recently The AUTOMATIC at the UNSummerfest in fount of 5000 people!
As you can tell I just about like anything, I am known in Northampton as the towns most diverse dj, my main style is Indie/Alternative but I also have been known to mix more Specialist sets Such as Metal, Rock and Punk.
