About Me

Guy Hornsby is a London based House DJ and Producer. Like many DJs, I cut my clubbing teeth in the corners of some classic house nights, at university in Sheffield back in 93 at the likes of Love to Be, Rise, Subway, and Republic. Though I moved back to London in 97, I was a late developer digitally.

He didn't put needle to vinyl until late '99, and began promoting and DJing for London night Wildchild the next year, an association that would take in Heaven, Hanover Grand, Propaganda, SEOne and The Coronet, and lasted until 2005, when he finally decided that he needed to concentrate my energies on production.

He's been lucky enough to play at many of the capital's best venues, at the Gallery at Turnmills, The End, Neighbourhood, Ministry of Sound, The Rhythm Factory, Heaven, and The Fridge, and enjoyed gigs with Garlands and Judgement Sundays at Eden and Kissdafunk at El Divino in the last three summers in Ibiza, as well as playing most of the sunset strip. UK highlights have included Manchester's Sankeys and the Warehouse in Leeds, and trips to Dublin to play at Space Camp.

Guy also works on www.4clubbers.net, concentrating on London's scene, as well as writing most house music reviews and interviews and features, including recent ones on King Roc, Pan-Pot, Giles Smith and James Priestly and Alex Smoke. 2006 saw prodcue my first track, Downshift, following another summer of inspriation in Ibiza and the instruction of Dan Gerrett at Subbass.

His first track, Downshift was signed by Devore Recordings in February 2007, and was released in December 2007. The follow up, Undertow has also been signed to Greek label Drag n' Drop (forthcoming in March 08) and a recent remix on Devore will be out in February 08.

Orange..... *new track alert*

There's a new track up on the player. I wrote it the week before I went to Ibiza to play on the island. It's a bit of progression from Undertow, quite bleepy and proggy. All feedback, as always is we...

After Downshift, I've been hard at work, and this is the result. The follow-up is Undertow, which is a deeper and darker track, a bit more atmosphere, a little more edgy. I'm still barely 7 months int...
