I play and am inspired by a blend of House with meanderings through Jazz, Funk, Soul, Disco, Broken Beat, Hip Hop, Latin, and the rest. This always leads for a lively venue with a new energy throughout the crowd with every subtle change in the music. House through to Disco, Disco through to Funk, the night and the set moves building and twisting in a very obvious yet subtle, accessible and crowd involving way. Please have a look / listen around this page.
Just the first few I thought of... there are hundreds though... In no particular order.

Hello and welcome to my homepage.
I play a total blend of music and unlike many House DJs my sets meander through Jazz, Funk, Soul, Disco, Broken Beat, Hip Hop, Latin, and the rest. This always leads for a lively venue with a new energy throughout the crowd with every subtle change in the music. House through to Disco, Disco through to Funk, the night and the set moves building and twisting in a very obvious yet subtle, accessible and crowd involving way.
I have been DJing for over five years and in that time my music has spanned the country and on a few occasions further afield including a season in Ibiza. I have a great deal of bar, and club experience and am all to aware of the differing pressures of each. I am a truly versatile DJ able to shape a set to suit a crowd without compromising on the quality.
I think I began DJing in about 2002 before going to University in Nottingham where I am now based. During the time I was at Uni I was building my reputation as a DJ around the City but it wasn’t until after I graduated in 2007 that I really started pushing myself forward and in the direction of house music. Since then I have been fairly fortunate in that I have been invited to play at a variety of events across the county including Bristol, Northampton, London and Sheffield. Playing alongside Richard Earnshaw, Ridney, Grant Nelson and Joey Negro. Also through my work with Nottingham house night Touch I have played at some of the most well renound venues here including Stealth, Gatecrather and Saltwater.
