 I focus on lots of freaky funky baselines and mind blowing melodies. I continue to chart the diversifying horizons of minimal, psy, prog and trance and the way it crosses over with other genres. Whatever the setting, I am always guided by one of the truest principle of Djing: a direct and natural relationship to the energy of the crowd.

My skills were first recognised in the mid 80’s when I won the Technics Technical SA DJ championship and went on to be placed fourth overall in the world DJ rankings (Mix Mag 1989). I was ranked as the best “home grown South African DJ”. I am a proud music ambassador that has played alongside top notch international DJ’s, who have pioneered the music revolution to the universal language it, has become today.

Stumbling across his passion for DJing back in 2012, Bitdef has since played an array of venues across the warehouses and undergroud clubs of Cardiff. Beginning his journey with house, over time his style and tastes have developed and evolved. From the minimal side of techno to the heavier main time beats, you can rest assured there will always be an underlying groove. With an eye and an ear for the audience and the willingness to deviate from the norm with the wierd and the wonderful, Bitdef works his magic to keep the crowd suitably entertained at all times.
