About Me

Hi, my name’s Gary and I make and DJ Drum & Bass and other electronic music music under the name of Crisis...
I have been DJing since 2001 and have played at events such as Spoonfed (Cambridge), Darklight (Brighton), Switch (Ministry of Sound), Hijack & Strictly Soulful (Peterborough), Pulsar (King’s Lynn) and FULL! (Paris).
I started writing and producing my own music in November of 2005. As a DJ this felt like a natural progression for me, and I love it!
As well as promoting nights in Cambridge under the ’Darklight’ banner, I am also a warmup resident on rotation for Spoonfed, the respected night run by Commix, Logistics & Nu:Tone, and have warmed up for artists such as Logistics, Matrix, Commix, Fabio & Nu:Tone.
