Artist Interview

I started djing way back in the early 90’s with my first regular gigs coming around 95-96...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Oi Oi Little South podcast listeners, thank you for taking time to listen to this mix and I hope you enjoy. Thanks to the Littlesouth crew for asking me to compile this mix this month, it is always a pleasure to put one together especially after my first one was way back in 2009!!! I started djing way back in the early 90’s with my first regular gigs coming around 95-96 where hardcore was crossing over into the hardhouse/early trance sound. My early influences were Dj’s such as Slipmatt, Easygroove, Ratty, Seduction and later as my sound evolved, Sasha, Digweed, Judge Jules, Paul Oakenfold etc. To be able to pinpoint my exact style is hard as I’ve played so many genres. What you can expect are sets that have a little groove, some epic break downs whether that was playing in front of large crowds for FANTAZIA and Slammin vinyl to more intimate gigs such as the ‘DROP’ nights, it's all about moments that can be shared on the dancefloor.

...playing for 6 hours straight for all our mutual family...

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?
My highlights of the year have been asked to play on numerous occasions at 23 Bath Street in Frome. It’s a great little club that is gaining a reputation within the D&B scene, but does encourage other forms of music, warming up for Eat Static was a particular highlight. My best mates wedding on Glastonbury weekend last year was also a big highlight. Just playing for 6 hours straight for all our mutual family and friends in the middle of some woods, changing styles until the sun came up was absolutely beautiful. This year I look forward to playing a couple of sets at Glastonbury Festival in some of the crew bars (5 min drive from my front door). I also have my own ‘Summer Soundz Saturdays’ garden parties at various locations around Shepton Mallet playing everything from jazz, soul, afrobeat to progressive house!

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

Those who are new to the scene and want to get into it need to be able to understand that anyone can press play on a set of digital decks and play all the big tunes. There is a time and a place for this but understand that the art of being a warmup dj is just as, if not more important than the headliner! Set the mood, read the crowd, react to it and don’t be afraid to search out those lesser-known tunes, these are the ones that will stand the test of time. And it's NOT ABOUT YOU!!! You are there to provide a soundtrack, don’t get the hump if you are stuck in a corner where no one can see you.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

This mix is inspired by the by the sound that I’m playing a lot now, a progressive/ groovy vibe. I think this would sit well either on a terrace in the sun or in a dark and dingy basement at 4 am when everyone is just locked into a groove. There are no ‘big anthems’ so don’t expect massive hands in the air breakdowns where everyone is getting their phones out, it tries and show cases how a set should flow and move through different phases. BIG LOVE Onan hag Oll.
