About Me


Dj, producer, surf, skate, snowboard - good times (apparently)...
Visit djirk.co.uk for all your brand-spanking-new UK beat, rhyme and special needs.
One day late in 2003, Dj irk sprouted eyes, ears, fingers, feet and, crucially, a sense of proportion. He spent his first few dark winter months holed up in the mountains designing and tailoring his costume, snowboarding by day and parTAYing by night. He played the finest cuts for the finest snow-loving mountain folk, got his shirt together, and produced the hell out of everything he saw. Since then irk has collaborated with MCs, singers, DJs, musicians and graphic artists, battling and breaking with the best of them. He's DJed his way around France and the UK, and continues to forge his identity as a superduper DJ/producer chap who just happens to have a sneaky little obsession for all things board-related. And he has some sweet-ass records.

And just for the record (hmm), if you manage to catch DJ Irk live on the decks, you'll most probably witness.. shed loads of funky hiphop, breaks, and breakbeat, silly scratching, stupid tv themes, "creative" mixing, and just plain fun, funky fat beats for everyone to get down and have a good time to.
