To stage events that will bring back that anything goes, hedonistic atmosphere. More than a club night, more than an event, every Bootleg Social is a gathering of like minds that are all quite unashamedly up to no good. When you enter any Bootleg Social event you check not only your coat at the door, you check your inhibitions, your preconceptions and your attitude as you enter a truly unique clubbing experience, an experience where you’ll feel so good that it has just got to be illegal.

The Bootleg Boys go to great lengths to ensure that the outside world is entirely forgotten, the house is devilishly sexy, the decor debauched, the girls raunchy and the vibe that delightful blend of sophistication and sleaze. Celebrating their first birthday at a very appropriate 1920s Valentine’s ball was the Bootlegs Social’s coming of age, coming out and it positively coming all over the place, spectacular. It managed the impossible to be chic, elegant, stylish and decidedly messy all at the same time – it was if all that every preceding Bootleg Social was building towards unleashing itself on the Big Smoke, in one almighty club land climax. Every Bootleg Social is wickedly themed from fashionaistas to speakeasy’s to masked balls, so the minute you walk in the door expect to lose yourself in a carefully crafted wonderland of excess.

The Bootleg Social team’s ability to whip the crowd into frenzy has brought them to the dance floors of Ministry, Brixton Acadamy, and spinning with industry luminaries like Defected,Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk and so many more.So you can expect bigger things from Tobie Allen and the crew as they blaze a beat trail country wide and beyond, spreading their nasty groves wherever they can carve them. With national nights in the offing, digital releases, radio shows, and international tours their downright criminal behaviour is not going to stop here. In all honesty it should be banned right now, but we all know all the best fruits are the forbidden ones. It’s Bootleg Social where it just feels to so good to be bad!

From early childhood car rides soundtracked by Jean-Michel Jarre to headlining underground club nights across the UK, Erik’s journey through electronic music has always been one of deep connection and evolution. Based on the South Coast of England, his love affair with sound began in the most organic of ways — through the speakers of his family’s car, where electronic music first captured his imagination.

“Music was always playing at home, but it was those long holiday drives with Jarre that really imprinted something on me. That’s where it all started.”

By the early ’90s, Erik had taken to the decks, diving headfirst into the UK’s vibrant club culture. What followed was a decades-spanning path through residencies, raves, and underground venues — including standout stints at Bournemouth’s flagship progressive and techno night Terminal, as well as the Twisted Global parties that defined a generation of South Coast dance music lovers.

Erik’s sound is fluid yet unmistakably his own. His DJ sets move seamlessly between deep house, progressive trance, atmospheric breaks, and driving techno — built on a foundation of lush textures, haunting melodies, and tightly wound grooves. Whether warming up a room or closing it down, Erik’s sets are more than just selections — they’re sonic narratives crafted for the dancefloor.

As a producer, Erik brings the same storytelling sensibility into the studio. His productions have caught the ears of a diverse group of global tastemakers, earning support from legends such as Nick Warren, Umek, Cristian Varela, and Meat Katie. With releases on respected imprints like Lowering the Tone, Prognosis, Krafted Records, AH Digital, Gibbon Records, and Wight Label Records, Erik has built a discography that balances depth, energy, and emotional resonance.

Now serving as the President DJ for Bournemouth-based Revibe Emotions, Erik continues to contribute to the scene — not just as a performer or producer, but as a curator, mentor, and ambassador for the underground. Whether on stage or in the studio, his mission remains the same: to create meaningful musical experiences that move bodies, stir emotions, and stay with listeners long after the final beat..
