Artist Interview

A white background with a few lines on it

I've played for lots of brands and in lots of countries...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Based in Somerset, I have been DJing for 22 years and I play a selection of House, Techno and Trance.

My signature sound is more progressive and has been prevalent pretty much since day 1. I like to find remixes of old classics, to put in my set, alongside some of my own productions and up front promo’s. So something for everyone.


I’ve had a few residencies over the years:


Housework (Taunton)

Koolwater (Taunton and beyond)

Shebang (London)

The Gallery @ Ministry of Sound (London)

The Garage, Chamonix (France)


Current residency; Re#Set & Immunity (Exeter)

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

Current residency; Re#Set & Immunity (Exeter)


I’ve played for lots of brands and in lots of countries, my highlight, being at Space in Ibiza a few years ago, before it closed; but I have also played in France, Egypt, Pakistan, Greece, Lithuania and others.


In the last couple of years I have started playing at Festivals, having always been a club DJ, I wanted to experience playing in a field! My favourite and definitely the highlight was Forbidden Garden Party in Devon and my favourite club gig is and probably always will be, Magic Hatstand in Exeter.


This year I have some fantastic gigs lined up:


Jody Wisternoff (Anjunadeep) at Bomba, Exeter.

Magic Hatstand, Jumunjy, Helston.

HTE Europe, Weston-super-mare.

Immunity Festival, Devon.

The only thing that makes you different, in a world full of DJ’s, is yourself!

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

I’ve always tried to stay true to myself, playing what I love, whether that fits in to a box, or not. The only thing that makes you different, in a world full of DJ’s, is yourself!

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

Gorgon City, Alan Fitzpatrick, James Talk, Mark Knight, Funkagenda, Artbat.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

For this mix, I have chosen some of my staple tracks, ones I have had in my bag for a long time and generally I don’t hear anyone else play. Alongside some familiar recent tracks and a couple of my own productions. It’s progressive but with attitude!
