About Me

I’m a Glasgow based producer and musician living in Lochwinnoch. I have been producing dance music for around 12 years.Although originally born in Chester England I moved to Glasgow in 1996 to study at STOW college and having lived in Glasgow and its surrounding area for 9 years I have recently moved to Lochwinnoch.I have also been DJing for around 10 years, and throughout, have crafted an eclectic style owing to my avid interest in, and extensive collection of dance music.This ranges from House to Breaks, with a heavy dose of classic Funk and Hip-Hop for good measure. Its expressed further in my music programming. The recent fruits of my labours will be heard on the Soul Representative E.P, which was released on Refo Recordings on 4th June 2007, their "Spaces and Faces" compilation which was released on the 12th of June 2006, and recently Beat Up Shade has been released on 15th October 2007www.reforecordings.co.ukI am an keen live musician, and have been playing Bass for Alan Brydens Sidewinder Live project, leading me to perform at venues such as Camden jazz cafe and at Glasgow Jazz Festival in the summer of ’05.I am availble for remixes, new projects, and DJ bookings so feel free to leave a comment or get in touch. I hope you enjoy my music.
