Dj'ing for over 13 years now. Learning on a pair of Numark Vinyl decks in 2002. Back then Speed Garage, Bassline and Funky House tracks were what i bought and used to play. 

Around 2010 I was approached by the manager of a new bar in Birmingham called Purple Bar and started playing there Friday and Saturdays which projected my name across the Midlands quickly.
Since 2010 I’ve repeatedly played at The Rainbow, Nightingale Top Floor, So It Goes, Birmingham Pride Dance Arenas, Chic and Bushwackers. 
This year I played in Croatia and over the next few months i have been booked to play in Stoke, Stourbridge, Cheltenham and Nottingham. 

My style of music i would say now is House, Bass & Tech but i find it hard to categorise because i vary it up and a good beat is a good beat ha!

Production / Engineering wise I have worked with Thomas Graham, James Lowe (Development) and Jamie Vine. Janai (vocalist) has also featured on one of my tracks with Thomas Graham. August 2015 started producing and since then i have released an EP under the alias Ana Cole and my latest three tracks under Lisa Sharred have gained plays and support from TS7 on Kiss, Billy Kenny, DJ Q, Flava D and also been broadcasted on BBC WM Introducing. 
Was named Dappa from Rinse FMs artist spotlight of the week :)

Please feel free to Share,Comment,Like and of course enjoy my mixes. Will try and keep you unto date with a fresh collection of House & Bass music. Thank You.

Certified Jackin was formed in 2011 with the intention of taking the big-bass “jackin house” sound that was taking over the North of England and the Midlands and deliver to a wider audience. This was achieved via a simple YouTube channel which quickly, and slightly unexpectedly, became a massive success, harnessing close to 100,000 subscribers and over 25 million views. The sound we delivered was greatly received throughout the United Kingdom and across the globe.
 
Over the following years, we helped promote and intensify the early careers of well-respected artists who featured heavily under the CJ name. Artists such as Hannah Wants, Chris Lorenzo and of course, our head honcho: ILL PHIL, amongst many others. Their meteoric rise through the music scene has, along with other artists and DJs brought underground House music to the forefront of the dance music world, specifically the ‘Jackin’, ‘Bass’ and ‘Tech House’ genres.
 
We host events across the United Kingdom, mainly at the prestigious Lightbox in London where we have hosted some of the best in the business: Endor, The Wideboys, Tom Bull, Rich Pinder, Skapes, Martin Ikin and others. We have taken Certified to Dublin with Tom Zanetti, Tom Garnett and Nick Hannam. We’ve also graced Tank in Sheffield, Insomnifest in Leeds, Manchester, Rotherham, Maidstone and Dover.
 
ILL PHIL’s world-famous Mixtapes have amassed millions of plays on SoundCloud and our debut album ‘Certified Jackin: Underground House Music’ cracked the Top 10 of the iTunes dance chart in mid-2014.
 
Our sound has naturally changed over time, but our values remain the same. We aim to deliver high energy, feel good, bass-laden house music with a twist. Full frontal, underground beats.

Tom Garnett first made his appearance on the the underground dance scene in his hometown of Leeds. Emerging fast with tracks in 2011/2012 in the Jackin House scene that was fast sweeping through places like Leeds & Birmingham. Playing alongside acts such as Chris Lorenzo and Hannah Wants and releasing multiple underground bangers! 
Tom held a club residency at the mighty Mission in Leeds for 9 years every Saturday night rubbing shoulders with some of the UK's biggest acts! Aswell as DJing all over the Uk and internationally from IBIZA to South Africa! 
 2016 to present has Tom has focused on fresh new styles and rising more in the tech/house scene with new styles of tracks that have been supported frequently by credible names such as MK, Hannah Wants, Arielle Free and many more! 
 With much more music and releases to come from Tom the future is looking big in the coming year!
