Alternate Vibes

About Me



My name is Joel Heatley, I am based in Exeter and I produce music as Alternate Vibes.

I started writing music on an Atari ST back in 1997, inspired by the explosion of Jungle and Drum and Bass music that was coming out at the time. Heavy influences included Roni Size, Krust, Photek and Peshay.

My first commercial Drum and Bass releases as Alternate Vibes came out on Santorin Records in 2009 and are available through iTunes, Beatport and other digital outlets.

New releases are coming soon so watch this space
