Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.
Hi my name is Alkie, I’m a DJ/Producer from the South West. I am also one half of the DJ duo symbiosis.
I have been mixing for a number of years however started playing ‘out’ in 2019 & since then have featured regularly DJing at club events & festivals.
Over this time I’ve really developed my sound and mixing style. My DJ sound is normally low end groovers with a percussive edge. I’m a huge fan of a big vocal and a sucker for a well made edit.
Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.
Age is just a number! We are under this misconception that there Is an age limit when it comes to success in music. However the truth is so far away from this is unbelievable. I have had more musical success in my 30s than I’ve ever had before. It just shows that if you keep pushing, work hard and stay authentically you. The right opportunities will arise & then it's down to you to grab that opportunity with both hands.
What artists have inspired your DJ style?
One of my biggest inspirations and still is to this day is Dennis Cruz. I love the way he builds a set and the track selection is always amazing. I also take a lot of inspiration from Jamie Jones, Peggy Gou & also my symbiosis partner Jim. The have really shaped the way I mix and the way I look at a set.
Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.
In my podcast mix I wanted to show some of my favourite styles of house I really enjoy playing. From classic house to Tech House, Latin Tech & even a spot of Minimal Deep Tech for good measure. This shows the main styles I like to incorporate in my sets and I’ve even chucked in one of my unreleased track PARADO into this mix. Im a big fan of expression on the dance floor and I hope this mix allows you to make a dance floor wherever you are when you listen to it.

Thank you for inviting me to record this mix and to do this interview with you.
