Iain Cross's sound has evolved over the years into a unique blend of hard
and heavy beats with spine tingling, arm raising trance breaks. This sound
is so unique it sets him apart from so many of his peers and has seen his
strong fan base grow into a huge following of clubbers that have followed
Iain all over theSouthwest.
Since his humbling beginning as a DJ eleven years ago, Iain has acquired
residencies for two of the leading brands of trance and techno, Atmosphere
and Resonate. He's been booked for massive events all over the UK such as
HTID, Raverbaby, Digital Circus, Hindsight, and Exotic as well as headlining
for a multitude of more local nights, and has began taking Europe by storm
playing at events such as QLUBTEMPO 16 @ Q-Dance - Holland with crowds of
over 4500 people and Maximum Trance @ Club IK (Holland). Thus ensuring his
booking schedule is full all year round. Being booked for such prestigious
events has seen his name on the same line up as a galaxy of stars including:
- S.H.O.K.K. - Andreas Kramer & Thomas Pogadl - The Trance Generators -
A.S.Y.S - DJ Jo & Tom-X - DJ Passion - Mat Sliver & Tony Burt - Mark .E.G -

Organ Donors - Uberdruck & Dj The Crow - Hellraser - Dj Slideout - Tommy
Pulse - Kutski to name a few.
Iain Cross is a man who lives, breathes and dreams music, he has applied
himself to many aspects of the industry. He was the promotion's manager and
weekly resident for the legendary Country Club from 1998 to 2002 when the
Country club sadly closed. "A dream dies but a legend lives on". Iain gained
valuable experience as a director and label manager of High Fish Recordings,
which was founded in 1999 by himself, Dave Spinout and Jon the Baptist,
primarily to release their own music productions, but also as a promotional
outlet for all their work within the industry. Moving onto pastures new he
left High Fish, and joined the family at Bare Cheek Recordings in 2004. Not
content with music being his passion, hobby, part time employment Iain
wanted to make it his full time employment. So in 2001 he joined his friend
and fellow DJ, Meri as assistant manager of the Chunes record shop, one of
the longest running independent record shops in the South West. Here he
stayed applying his talents until 2006.
Over the decade that Iain's been involved with the Music Industry, he's also
turned his hand to journalism and radio play. For over 2 years he reviewed
trance tracks due to be release for TTR Magazine. His articles were
published weekly in the magazine sent out by a distribution company all over
the UK. Iain is the creator of Maximum Radio. A show that once a month rocks
the hard dance channel of the 'Digitally Imported' internet radio station.
The show has blossomed under his watchful eye and boasts a roster which
includes Tommy Pulse (Stealth Industries), Organ Donors (Nukleuz),
Wavetraxx (Drizzly), DJ Spoke (Progressive State), DJ Choose (F&W) and Max
Savietto (Mazeman) to a fan base of over 700 people.
Production is one area that this young man excel's, he is a hugely respected
producer. Iain's sets show - cases many of his unreleased tracks, one -
off edits and sneaky "Cross" retakes which he works on in his well
established studio. He also has 14 stomping collaboration's under his belt
which have been released on a number of the scenes leading labels including
our own, Bare Cheek Recordings, Italian label Future Sound Corporation, De
Novo Records, and High Fish Recordings.
