Now being hailed by many as Irelands Leading Hard
dance artist L.E.D. is well on his way to worldwide success with his very own
unique style of trickery – track re – edits & scratch & effects sets. His Stage
Presence has to be seen to be believed as his technical ability and outstanding
sets always deliver . L.E.D. can scratch – cut – chop remix and re-edit his way
through sets like a ravenous dog chewing a bone all with two decks – two cdjs
and a pioneer 600 mixer. He is certainly one of the very few artists today who
can take your party to the next level and have the crowd in the palm of his
hands from start to finish.
L.E.D began DJ'ing at the tender age of 10 at local under 18s discos. It Wasn't
until 16 & after he fell in love with Dance music He was offered his first
residency at the Old Rouge in Antrim in 1993 playing to 200 people each week.
From this he created a large fan base of regular followers and it wasn't long
before he was guest in other clubs and venues such as FERGIES birthplace Airport
2000 & at the Stables in Antrim.
In 1996 he was offered a
residency at The Elk, which at the time was one of Northern
Ireland 's premier House
clubs. From the days of playing at The Elk he moved forward to
other residencies and
performances such as Earth in Derry, Love Machine @ The Grill in
Letterkenny, to name but a few. By now his skills and mixing ability were
already in place to carve out the launching of his career and word on the scene
was that L.E.D was a name to look out for.
In
the Summer of 2001 L.E.D went out to Ayia Napa in Cyprus and after playing in
some of the bars was spotted and asked to be main resident at the Islands
infamous Castle Club where he resided for Pear shaped, Godskitchen, and Slinky.
He also played at the legendary VIBE BAR, owned by Brandon Blocks Dad, where all
the big name DJs and music industry people went for pre-club entertainment. It
was there L.E.D met the promoters for Welsh Super Club Escape who offered him a
residency at there club in Swansea , Wales .
His style is one that is
extremely versatile ranging from tranced out bliss through to the deeper
progressive sound venturing into the harder angles of House. Mixing skills
second to none and trickery in the form of scratching and chopping with
mind-blowing tricks effects & loops that has secured him the respect &
admiration of many both who come to see him play and within the industry & keeps
