HARD music DJ coming out of the Leeds underground now residing in Manchester. 
Playing all things brutal and fun. 

Raised on classic rock by my dad, my musical journey started with albums like Korn's "Korn" and Slipknot's "Iowa." As I grew older, my love for heavy music expanded, and I immersed myself in a wide range of rock and metal genres. However, everything changed when I stumbled upon The Prodigy's performance at the Download Festival, a metal festival. It was a revelation that electronic and dance music could be just as intense, if not more so, than metal. 

During this time, I made friends who were deeply into IDM, jungle, and gabber, coinciding with the rise of dubstep. This led me to develop a deep affection for all forms of extreme music and the fascinating intersections where they blend together. 

In 2015, I co-organized two events with a friend called UNITE and had the incredible opportunity to play at the renowned WYTM warehouse raves. It was during these experiences that I truly fell in love with sharing the sounds I adore with a live audience. 

Subsequently, I discovered the Fractal Leeds event, where I frequently indulged in the hardest and darkest sounds available. 

In around 2018 I became a resident DJ for the “IS DEAD” Deadstream playing many shows on a live stream format and including various styles that I love from bass to hardcore.
Silently perfecting my skills in the background, I am now driven to obliterate venues and constantly push the boundaries of my abilities.

Cheb Semnil – real name Colin McDonald is a Scottish saxophonist, pianist and composer based in Leeds, Yorkshire UK. Since the age of eight, Colin has been lucky enough to be immersed in a world full of music including the medium of classical, jazz and in the last few years thanks to playing in a world music band Colin has found a great love for Arabic and North African rhythms.

Colin was classically trained on the clarinet at the Music School of Douglas Academy in Glasgow Scotland where he spent his entire high school years learning about music theory, history and mastering his instrument. At the age of 15 Colin then got a saxophone and instantly fell in love with it.

Colin was also in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland for a number of his teenage years, which gave him a great thirst and love for jazz and the chance to perform around the UK. He then made his way down to Leeds to study a Bachelor of Arts in Jazz at Leeds College of Music, and have taken many useful teachings out of his time there. For a few years in Leeds Colin was resident sax player for a North African band who played Reggae, Raï and European infused style music and encouraged him more to explore this aspect of his chosen discipline.

For the past couple of years Colin has been experimenting more with the electronica side of music, mixing rich Arabic strings, melodies and rhythms with a modern twist in bass and drums to produce a very unique ethnic electronica sound. Colin is also a member of UK Dub Outfit “Celt Islam Sound System” formed and directed by Muhammad Hamzah. Colin is also an artist and DJ of Earth City Recordz an independent label based in the UK. In the future Cheb Semnil wants to incorporate more saxophone into his electronica journey and is always excited to work with new artists.
