Artist Interview

A white background with a few lines on it

There have been several absolute blinders at The Depo in Plymouth where I’ve supported artists...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

I’m a DJ and Producer from the South West of the UK. I started DJing at just 11 years old, building up a full mobile rig in my bedroom complete with sound, lights and smoke machine etc. I started using this rig to plays kids parties in venues like church halls which then led onto early commercial club sets when I was 16. 

While I have now specialised in dance music I always have been (and remain) very open minded musically. My sound is a mixture of multiple styles and genres, music to me is either good or bad. I play house, trance, techno and anything else in between. Generally, what I play regardless of genre is chunky, energetic and it bangs. 

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

2024 has been another year full of epic events. There have been several absolute blinders at The Depo in Plymouth where I’ve supported artists like Darren Styles and Billy Gillies; while Cohesion events continue to kill it with the Kevin and Perry Go Large night in Torquay being one to remember.


This year we are set to see more quality events in the South West with my first being Cohesion with Dave Pearce at Strobe Nightclub in Plymouth on the 1st of March and I’ve just confirmed Immunity Festival for later in the year. Studio wise I already have a couple of releases lined up, I’m planning to get more of my own music out there in 2025.

I’m really enjoying where music is going now.

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

Progress takes work, success takes time, and everything is a journey. Make sure you be yourself along the way and enjoy the journey. Play and make the music that you feel passionate about, don’t focus on what everyone else is doing. Drink plenty of water.

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

In the early days it was DJs such as Judge Jules and Carl Cox but more recently I’m loving the sounds being championed by Patrick Topping and Hannah Laing just to name a few.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

I’m not sure what happened here to be honest, I think the sugar rush from my third chunk of leftover Christmas Toblerone may have pushed me in a slightly tougher direction. I usually like my mixes to span multiple genres and build from groovier house vibes through to my harder edged sounds. This one starts off fairly chunky and builds through into harder edged house, trance and then topping it off with some hard techno.



I’m really enjoying where music is going now. In some styles it’s almost gone full circle with the current more upbeat house records starting to sound reminiscent of the hard house sound from 1999 – early 2000’s, and the harder edge of music veering towards the older hardstyle sound. I’m here for it all.

We explore the thoughts of artists and music sharing. In today's digital age, discovering new music has become more accessible than ever due to online platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and download services such as Beatport. While traditional methods of exploring music, such as visiting record shops, have diminished in popularity, the process of musical exploration remains significant and enriching, especially when one encounters a standout track. For performing artists, the quest for fresh music is a continuous endeavor, often regarded as equally important as the performance itself. This raises an interesting question: is it appropriate for artists to keep the details of their music sources confidential? This topic invites further discussion from some of the South West DJs and producers on the nature of music discovery in the modern landscape.
