I have been into dance music ever since I can remember. Even when I only listened to what was in the charts in my early years, I always liked the dance tracks the most. As I got older, I learned more about dance music through Judge Jules, Dave Pearce and Pete Tong on Radio 1. This got me into clubbing and I absolutely loved it.
I purchased my first decks (a pair of Citronics in October 2000) and began teaching myself to mix. My current setup is a pair of Technics SL1210, a pair of Pioneer CDJ 1000 MK2 and a Pioneer DJM 600. I have started using Ableton Live for production, and may also use it as a live DJ tool.
My music taste is quite varied: trance, house, progressive, techno, hardcore, breaks… branching out to indie, rock, reggae, soul, classical and jazz as well (basically I can enjoy music of any kind). But it’s my passion for trance that is the greatest, having been with me since the late 1990s. I love all types of trance (except the cheesy commercial crap that tarnishes the name), from progressive to vocal, to uplifting and euphoric, through to hard and psychedelic.
The beautiful and uplifting melodies of trance are what I love the most, and hopefully I can create some of my own inspired music for the next generation.
