Bez23 started DJing in 1992, after discovering that he could compile 'tripping tapes' much more fluidly by using two record players and a mixer. Involved in the free party scene since the early '90s promoting trance, then Goa, then Psytrance parties.
Bez23 currently organises the chill-space for Bradford night 'Kulu' where he is also a psytrance resident. Summer 2008 will be the third year Bez23 has organised the chill-out space for northern festival 'Shamania' as 'Synchronistic Sounds' - a collaboration with good friends Si Splatt and Steve Superboss from Leeds psytrance night Cabbage, and Chris Nanook of Strange Daze Sound System fame.
At Hawkfest, Bez played psychedelic electronic music inbetween the bands on the 'Strangeness' stage, and enjoyed it so much he almost burst. Hawkwind rocked his world in a BIG way :)
He is also to be found baring his soul/arse at other events and festivals, including Sunrise Festival, Wickerman, Eastern Haze, Glade, Big Green Gathering, IDSpiral, Northern Green Gathering, Thornborough Music Festival, Masterpeace, Solfest, Psycle, Midday Mooners, Strange Daze, Acid Monkey, Stereo Chemistry, Sunrise, (an early) Wingmakers, Kaboodle, Bad By Design, Project Ozma, Alien Resonance, Awakening, Planet Zogg, Relativity, Fat Moon, Karma Sounds, Floroworld, MessMedia, Soma Sonic.
Known for his 'bonkers' style of deep, hard, mind zorching, face-melting psytrance, Bez23 is pleased to announce that in summer 2008 Swiss based Psychedelic music label PEAK RECORDS welcomed him into their clan as a label DJ.
