Sounds Like:HelloI enjoy DJ'ing, playing loud electronic music and partying, the three go hand in hand pretty well I have found! I have DJ'd in some great clubs and seen some amazing places around the world - this has definitely changed me as a person. Full taken it all on board and am enjoying taking more on board!
I hold a residency at tribal Sessions in Manchester, and host my own night "Greg Vickers presents" once a month here. Guests have included Phonique, Konrad Black, and forthcoming Mathew Jonson, Tania Vulcano and a Get Physical night with Booka Shade, DJ T and Heidi - Its very good so give it a try some time if you are in town. 1ST FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH :)I also have a busy DJ schedule outside of my residency, and my dates are displayed on the right of this text........................................................

......................I am currently involved in a production project, co-working with producers and writers, Dan Mumberson and Reuben Holt under the guise 'The Static Movement'.
The material will be focusing upon forward thinking techno and house... music for the head, as well as the dancefloor.
We plan to launch our own label, Friction Recordings later this year, to serve as an independent outlet for our own material, as well as for other like minded artists who share our vision.

Like I said I like to travel and see new places - Brazil has been my real love, they really know how to party down there, there are other reasons for my love of Brazil though.
