Artist Interview

I've always loved the sound of a rolling bassline...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Hello everyone, my name is Pete Rees and I've been DJing since the late 90's when my love for dance music started, especially the sound of trance. I've always loved the sound of a rolling bassline with a melodic vibe so I've tried to stay true to my sound and follow that vibe through my sets.

...socialise with like-minded artists.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?
The highlights of the past year which really stand out for me have been warming up for Lisa Pin-Up, an ’90s/early 00’s favorite of mine; becoming a resident DJ for Khaos Events where I’ve played alongside some of Plymouth's legendary DJs; being a resident DJ on Beach Radio where I’ve shared the airwaves with the likes of Sebastien Leger, Mark Knight, Judge Jules, Nora En Pure; playing at the amazing Terrace Cafe and Bar on Plymouth Hoe for Sonar where my first event was the official pre-party for 1 Big Summer and more recently playing alongside Amber D.

As the summer is approaching and I'm playing for Sonar at the end of May, I've gone for a terrace-style set that takes you on a journey through the day and into the evening. The set starts with a chilled vibe and slowly goes goes through the gears ending with a progressive house feel. I really hope you enjoy the vibe.
