Artist Interview

I'm hoping the future holds more gigs outside of the South West, some international gigs would be nice.

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

So I've been DJing now for around 20+ years from bedroom to clubs etc. I like to play a variety of music ranging from deep, soulful house to disco, disco house and house belters! I also make music in those genres too!

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

Last year has to be playing Rock Oyster festival, and my gigs in Plymouth with my residency at Sonar! I'm hoping the future holds more gigs outside of the South West, some international gigs would be nice. I've also started a new residency with a brand called sunset social club who put on cool events over the South West, and the summer is looking pretty stacked so far!

...be polite, manners cost nothing.

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

Just keep practicing, get networking and making yourself familiar with brands that you would like to play at. Everyone is a DJ these days, but talent will shine. Also, be polite, manners cost nothing. Stay humble.

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

I can't put my finger on any particular DJ that influences my DJ style, I kinda just go with the flow. Some DJ's im diggin atm though are Kirollus, Melvo Baptiste, Dan Shake and the classics of Louie Vega and Dave Lee always go well! Maybe a mixture of all of those!

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

So the mix is based around the tunes I'd play to get the party started. Some real funky numbers! I've tried to include a lot of my favourite up and comers/new-ish that people should be looking out for, such as Boogietraxx, BDK and Bobby Analogue for example, as well as some more established artists such as wh0 and LF System.
