...I do still have a huge love for house music and also a soft spot for trance...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ life.

So I've been on the club scene since the late 90's playing clubs across the UK.  before taking a career break and moving to the south west in 2011. From weekly club residencies to running events, Its been great to see the dance scene at its peek in the early 2000's to where it is today. Watching the industry evolve and take on the challenges of the last few years has been interesting and challenging for those involved. Looking ahead to the next 12 months it will be great to put on some more events here in Cornwall. Watch this space for up coming information as i'm sure the team at Little South will be the first to hear.

...nothing has really changed from the early days of sifting threw local record stores...

Describe your DJ sound.

As far as my sound goes I have a fairly varied taste from Garage, D&B and House to Progressive and Hard house. Whatever gets the dance floor going really so nothing has really changed from the early days of sifting threw local record stores and sorting the recent promo's sent through from labels.

What is your view on how the live music and nightlife scene has been shaped since the Covid lockdowns?

My view on the recent challenges since the Covid Lockdowns is that our night life has never faced harder times. With Club landlords forced to sell to property developers, cheap supermarket alcohol affecting profitability and authorities withdrawing or not granting new late venue licences it's a really tough industry to be in. Local clubs are at the forefront of the arts when managed correctly and should be protected at all costs. We have our love of discovering music, the want to find and share new experiences and meeting new people to hold us together. It's something that is within all of us and can't be taken from us by binge watching TV or be sold cheap online. I think Clubbing is a movement that will always be here and can only get better going forward as culture changes. 

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

So my podcast really is a mix of different genres from over the last few years. I am really enjoying the revival of upbeat and progressive sounds that are at the forefront of the scene at the moment. It's almost a taste of some of the flavours that dominated Club land in the mid to late 90's. It's so good to see it all come back around. I hope your subscribers enjoy it and thanks for the invite back Little South.
