Artist Interview

I play a variety of genres and just appreciate good music...

Hi, Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ life.

In the earlier days I have played all over the UK including many times at Ministry of Sound in London, I’ve also been lucky enough to play various gigs in Florida USA, Croatia and graced the decks in Eden Ibiza and the legendary terrace at Space Ibiza before it closed.

Describe your DJ sound.

I don’t like to be pigeon holed to one sound. I play a variety of genres and just appreciate good music no matter what genre. But my main sounds are tech house, progressive & trance

...I've still been working all through lockdown the best I could even with most clubs being closed around the world.

Tell us how you have kept busy during the last year or so of lockdowns.

Well aside from DJ life I actually work as a lead agent at one of the biggest DJ agencies worldwide. We look after well known artists like ATB, Sander van Doorn, Mauro Picotto, Eddie Halliwell, Seb Fontaine, Tall Paul & many more. So I've still been working all through lockdown the best I could even with most clubs being closed around the world.

Talk us through this podcast episode and why you have chosen to include the tracks that have made the cut.

Well to be honest it’s the first mix ive done in some time (mainly due to the Pioneer shortage during the pandemic and waiting for my new equipment) so I wanted to showcase a variety of styles and some of my favourite tracks right now.
