Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.
I am based in South Manchester and have been a DJ for over 25 years.
I specialise in Underground Progressive House and focus on delivering musical journeys through my sets with detailed transitions and complex soundscapes. I am currently International Resident at the KASHAY SALON Artists / Events / Label Collective based in Dresden, Germany. I play live events in Germany and across Europe with my co-residents. I have also been resident on the UK's Beach Radio since 2020.
Alongside the live events and my radio shows, I specialise in global podcasts and have had mixes featured on the following channels over the last 18 months:
OMIDOX Hypnotic Podcast (Germany - Hamburg)
Fractal Architect's Depth Perception Sessions (UK - Bristol)
Melodic Beats Music (UK - Plymouth)
So What Radioshow (Canada - Quebec)
Tel Aviv Sunsets (Israel - Tel Aviv)
Melodic Deep (Holland - Amsterdam)
What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?
Highlights of the last year include my continuing residency with KASHAY SALON and some fantastic events with my co-residents and international guests. In particular we had a superb event at Plan B Club in Malmo, Sweden earlier this year.
I have also worked closely with my good friend and Plymouth legend Tim French who has been my guest in Germany earlier this year and I am delighted that Tim will be playing with me again in September. I have also continued my great association with Paul Honey's Melodic Beats Music and recently provided a third mix for the podcast series. I am looking forward to more events in Germany, Sweden and elsewhere in Europe with KASHAY SALON over the next 12 months.
Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.
For any aspiring Artist I would encourage hard work, dedication and patience - with a focus on promoting high quality music there are definitely opportunities available!
Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.
The set I have prepared for Little South features some of my favourite progressive house tracks.
The mix is a musical journey from ambient organic vibes through to deep melodic progressive and underground club vibes towards the end. I really enjoyed preparing the set which I think showcases my style perfectly and hope that everyone enjoys listening to it!
