Born in Bolton...based in Stockport...
Massey is very much an integral stalwart of Manchester’s underground electronic music scene where he is immersed in music on a daily basis and juggles multiple roles from producer, engineer, remixer, promoter, booker, programmer, radio host, A&R & tea boy (obvs).

He runs his own label Sprechen and oversees an A&R/label manager role for the legendary Paper Recordings as well being a resident at Manchester’s Sticky Heat alongside running a whole manner of club, music & arts related events via Sprechen.

His DJ sets jump genres from house to disco, Italo, ‘jolly techno’ to boogie & ‘weird
Stuff’ alongside his own productions & remixes which have entertained dancers
at gatherings not only at clubs and festivals in the UK, but also across across
Europe at the likes of Barbarellas Discotheque & for Frekuensi Minor in
Jakarta. 

He has DJ'd alongside the likes of Lindstrøm, Optima, Cynthia, Justin Robertson,
Nancy Noise, Rex the Dog, Horse Meat Disco, Hifi Sean, Raw Silk &
Awesome Tapes From Africa and Sean Johnston/Hardway Bros at the seminal night ALFOS which Sprechen promotes in Manchester.

More recently her has developed Sprechen into being more than just a record
label and to be more a hub to nurture new & emerging creatives and where he
can assist and mentor in the final mix & engineering stage of music
production. 

His latest venture has been 'The Thief Of Time', a cross genre studio project which focuses on music away from the clubs and is heavily influenced by a life lived through the 80's with sounds, stylings, aesthetics & narratives all taking place in the semi autobiographical productions.

“For the Feincast I wanted to try and focus on an sounds that are very much in my sets when playing the late set at any Sticky Heat parties as well as at ALFOS but which are also quite easily linked to my sound as The Thief Of Time. Being a child of the 80’s I have a particular findness for sounds that are heavy on synths and packing loads of energy whether that’s fast or slow, stripped back of stacked with loads of layers. Hopefully that is fully represented here!"
