The sun is out! So here's something sunny. Loose and funky sounds from West Africa, South-East Asia, the UK and beyond.

Spring Forward

What a festival in Croatia. Have been here now for the fourth time and it never disappoints. Next year it's the last one, so catch it while you can. I wanted to make a mix out of all the brilliant music that is played there, but it is hard to pick the best ones as there are so many. Could have mixed another 2 days tbh :-) Hope you enjoy these highlights as much as I did.

Recorded freestyle at home, featuring a variety of the music played at Defected Croatia 2025 with focus on the more uptempo tunes. All to remember the amazing time we spent at the festival. 

Special thanks to David Penn, Marco Lys and Ferreck Dawn for the shoutouts. Big love 🙏🏻

Ever since I picked up my first set of turntables and vinyl over 20 years ago the passion for collecting music and Djing has been insatiable. 

I started off at the age of 16 in the late 90's when trance was the big genre, however it was upon listening to a Danny Rampling mix that I became obsessed with the more funky/disco house sound.

I began playing out in clubs from the age of 17, whilst still studying my A Levels.

I moved to Liverpool as part of my studies and was immersed in the club scene, getting to see some of my heroes and often behind the DJ booth watching them and picking up so much information.

Since returning to Jersey I have managed to play in all of the main venues here, from a 5 year residency at Tanguys to supporting various local nights in Rojos, Ce Soir, The Royal Yacht, WonkyTown, Reasons Festival among many others, and from time to time I have feature mixes on BBC Radio Jersey. 

I now offer a fully mobile DJ service too for any private parties!
