Neil Bamford has been a name featured in UK trance culture for a decade. Having been involved with some of the most recognisable UK brands and with his productions supported by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Aly & Fila, Solarstone and the other artists that make up the senior fraternity of trance. After a few years away from producing, Neil has returned in fine fashion with with two two tracks being featured on 2018’s In Search Of Sunrise 14 and the Pure Trance 7 Compilation.

Neil’s love for music has been ever present since before his age met double digits, and turned his attention to trance music around the age of 16. Although he tries to champion artists starting out on their journey, he has studied the genre’s history and believes it’s in a much better place now then it ever has been. His first initial releases were together with Med (Chris Medlock) on labels such as Abora (‘One’), Infrasonic (‘Stolen’ and ‘Last Stand’) and Perceptive (‘Light Up’) of which were supported on ASOT several times. With this success in their productions, Neil and Med went on to be heavily involved in UK super brand Digital Society landing them a residency with the brand. After a few years of gigging up and down the country, Neil and Med went their separate ways with Neil’s hunger still burning bright.

Whilst keeping his ear low to the ground, Neil locked himself away and learnt his trade with the sole purpose of a return to the trance scene. His highest solo accolade came in the from of ‘There Are There’ which was released on Solarstone’s Pure Trance label. This track was included on the re-ignition of ISOS 14 and was also featured in the Mixmag Top 100 Tracks of 2018 across all genres. Now with the bar set high he is developing his production to reflect the sound he loves to hear in a club and create.

Be it from the early acid house raves in London or the full moon parties in Goa, or carving my own flutes for that ambient track, KAUKUTA fell in love with making music of the melodic, electronic, tribal kind many years ago.
From the drum and bass of URBAN SHAKEDOWN (with DJ Aphrodite), to the trance and psycadelic of UNION JACK (with Platipus' Simon Berry), 
and his solo project of TERRA FERMA, the journey that started 25 years ago continues...
The new TERRA FERMA music releases will be coming out later this year.
