Artist Interview

Over the last few years I have started to learn about production...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ life.

I'm Plymouth based and have been resident DJ for the Southwest's biggest house and techno brand Casa for the last 6 years. My residency with Casa has seen me play on several boat parties in Ibiza and alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry including Pete Tong, Patrick Topping and most recently Eatseverything. Over the last few years I have started to learn about production and have a couple of tracks set to be released in the near future.

In this mix are some of my favourite tracks that i've played in my sets during 2022.

Describe your DJ sound.

I like to experiment in my mixes to keep elements of change throughout. I play a varity of minimal, house, tech house, bass house and techno. Full drive of funky underground bass grooves with catchy vocals, big builds and drops.

What is your view on how the live music and nightlife scene has been shaped since the Covid lockdowns?

Since the music industry came out of lockdown it was clear to see that people had missed the environment and connections that nightlife brings. Although the amount of people attending events is noticably less then before numbers continue to rise.
