Gary Keelor - Retro Classics [Volume 2]

House, Trance, Hard Dance and Oldskool / Club / Dance Classics DJ…

Gary Keelor is one of a very few versatile DJ's to come out of Carlisle (Cumbria). A popular DJ and a firm favourite in his home town and a big crowd pleaser. From the early age of 11 Gary grew up listening to the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Judge Jules, Pete Tong and Seb Fontaine on Radio 1 on a weekend. He vastly got the buzz for Dance Music and began collecting various tape packs from Pink Panther Records in Carlisle and later attending Ibiza Mania under 18s Dance Events in Carlisle between 1998-2000 which was a massive influence on him becoming a DJ. Gary got his first set of turntables at the age of 14, learning the trade the proper way as some would say and boy did he do it. He started getting bookings in 2001 at 15 years of age, playing Dance Anthems (Pumpin House & Trance) for Vibe under 18's dance events at Freedom nightclub & The Brickyard (Carlisle). Once he turned 18 in 2004 he began playing for Destiny @ Club XS (Carlisle) and other venue's in the City. That was when he started making a name for himself getting bookings for Dance Factory at Club XS & Terminal 1 (Carlisle), Fusion in Workington (Cumbria) and Sanctuary at Club One-Eleven, Klub DNA and Syndicate in Blackpool (Not forgetting he won the Sanctuary competition to play Syndicate main room) plus other Dance events in Cumbria and the North West up until 2008 when he decided to put on his own events. One being House Classics brand Formula which was a massive success in the city. Rapidly gaining a good reputation for himself with Formula, along with his DJ talent, constant hard work, determination and self promotion he bagged himself a residency at The Melting Pot in Carlisle along with bookings for Retro, Uber (Carlisle), Goodgreef, S2S / Sunrise, Cream Anthems Tour, Cream Classics, Kissdafunk + many other club brands.
