From Bolton, UK. I have been spinning tracks since the young age of 15 and have played professionally since I was 17. I play all genres of music but mainly oldskool house, bounce and modern house music. I am considered one of the youngest DJ's on the oldskool scene and have played alongside the biggest DJs and acts in the industry.

My first gig was at the infamous Cricketers in Wigan and I have regularly been djing ever since at events in clubs across the north west. I have worked for popular events & promotions such as S2S, Clubland, Retro and dozens more. I have played alongside legends such as Stu Allan, Paul Taylor, Slipmatt and have been on the bill with massive PA's such as K-Klass, Sandy B & Ratpack to name a few. You can often catch me playing at the mighty Bowlers warehouse (Manchester) which was always a lifelong dream of mine which finally came true back in 2013. Other huge clubs I have played at include Maximes, Sanuk & Park Hall. Blackpool North Pier, Manchester Academy & Macron Stadium are a couple of venues I have worked at which arent technically clubs but were a pleasure and a memorable experience I will never forget.

I tried my hand in event promotion and founded my own event (We Love Oldskool) which were held monthly at Club Retro in Farnworth. The nights were responsible for bringing record numbers of revellers through the doors and bringing huge name djs/producers from the oldskool scene to the small town. 

On the production side of music, I have been involved in a handful of tracks. Teaming up with hard house superstar Elivate and under the production name Retrospect, we conjured up a selection of retro style tunes. Huge inspiration came from Dj Flavours aka Trotters Independent Traders and Pianoman. Our debut track (Get Ill) was a cheeky bootleg mixing Rhythm Quests Closer To Your Dreams with the piano from Rachel Wallaces Tell Me Why. Another track (Wrong Beat) was a remix of Rhythm On The Loose - Rhythmology with samples from Young Mc. It gained recognition from the original producer Geoff Hibbert amongst others. We remixed the majority of these tracks plus more as hard dance versions and had great success with those in the digital charts on the hard house scene.

I have always been into music especially oldskool as i was born in 1990 and was brought up listening to it regularly on the radio and top of the pops wen i was a kid. I started djing in my bedroom when i was 15 playing bounce and club classics then progressed to italian house and oldskool buying records regularly with whatever money i had. 

I played my first club when i was 17 and have regularly been djing for peoples parties and for nights in pubs and clubs. I run my own successful nights under the name WE LOVE OLDSKOOL & DESTINY'.

 I am currently resident DJ every saturday night at club retro in farnworth. I have started producing tracks with Elivate under the name 'RETROSPECT'... For bookings contact me on 07517359856....
