As time went on, our reach expanded beyond Cornwall and encompassed artists and events from across Devon and the entire South West of England, UK.

Artist Interview

I love building tension, hypnotic powerful basslines and vocals.

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

I’m a house DJ who lives for energy and atmosphere. My sound sits somewhere between bouncy basslines and euphoric, hands in the air moments. I love building tension, hypnotic powerful basslines and vocals.

...I just play what feels right to me.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?

I haven’t been playing out much over the last year but New Years Eve was a great vibe. There are a few exciting things in the pipeline for 2026.

Tell us something that you know now that you wished you knew when you first started DJing.

Not to put too much pressure on yourself and just enjoy the journey, start backing your own taste and style that’s when things click.

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

Honestly, I don’t really follow anyone closely, I just play what feels right to me. I pick and play tracks that I enjoy and that I think will get people moving.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.
For this mix, I wanted to keep things fun and energetic. I included a few heavy hitters and bouncy basslines to give it some punch. I tried to pick tracks that flow together naturally, so it builds and moves without feeling forced. It’s basically a set I’d enjoy listening to myself and hopefully others enjoy it too.
