Justin Berman

Justin has been DJing since 2001 & producing tracks since 2002. He is one half of Sketchy Beats with Dlay, a DJ and production partnership that it now entering into its fifth year. Justin’s interest in electronic music was sparked in 1993 after hearing Aphex Twin’s music for the first time, and subsequently discovering Warp and its wealth of electronica artists.::::He started playing techno in 2001 and co-promoted a night called Futec, which ran in Basingstoke, Hampshire in the first half of 2003 before switching to tech house and forming Sketchy Beats later that year. In recent years, he has branched out from the tech house sound, playing jackin house, deep house and more recently rediscovering the minimal side of techno as well as developing a love of disco, and his sets incorporate a lot of these sounds. Alongside Dlay, he has played at many parties and nights around the UK & also France, but most notably at Jane Fitz’s Peg parties where they have appeared regularly in the last couple of years.::::Justin set up a small home studio in 2002 & his initial productions were downbeat, experimental tracks. For several years, his main focus has been on been producing house music with Dlay, but the formation of the Soapsud City label has allowed him to return to his electronica roots as reflected in his tracks “Robots in the Borough of Ealing” & “Vague Flex” on the first Soapsud City release Sudscapes, although his more recent offerings on the Sud Up & Dance series of releases have been more dancefloor orientated. Watch out for future EP's on Sudup Recordings, a new offshoot of Soapsud City starting in 2009.::::Parties/Venues/Internet Radio Shows Justin has DJ'd at: Futec@Bang Bar, Basingstoke.
