My passion for house music started from an early age from first having vinyl decks as a teenager in the late 90s. Have always loved the progressive house genre from aspiring djs such as the likes of sasha, Digweed, Anthony papa, dave seaman and quivver. Have recently started djing again in the new era of digital which has took some getting used to, and no I don't use the sync button which you can probly tell sometimes in my sets 😂😂 anyhow

Growing up with a rich musical heritage it was almost destined that Aaron better known as Aztec would be involved in the music scene one day. An open lover of many different styles it’s Dance Music that’s always been closest to his heart, As a child he’d find himself having countless hours of joy listening to his parents cassette tapes. Being Dance Music lovers themselves he was exposed to everything the 90’s rave scene had to offer and It was these sounds that helped pave the way to what he plays today.

DJ’ing didn’t come around though till his mid teens but collecting music is something he’s always done with him having to spend most of his life dealing with the passing of his father. Music was the way he escaped from the harsh realities life had offered up for him, As he approached the age of 16 it was then when the decision was made to take all his musical knowledge and passion one step further by taking up the art of DJ’ing. In the early days Aaron mastered his mixing skills playing a selection of different genres until mid 2012 when he heard “Hot Natured - Forward Motion” for the first time, It was that moment his arm hairs stood up and he knew House Music was what he wanted to play since that day he’s never looked back. 

Fast forward to the modern day and Aztec has earned the right to support and play on events hosting some of the best House & Techno DJ’s the world has to offer. With sets on global brands Defected & Do Not Sleep you can now see him holding a residency at The Move one of the Midlands premier nights. Aaron is also heavily involved in Freakshow a brand new night which has a target of becoming a major force in his local city of Stoke-on-Trent. His goals for the future will see him being involved in the studio a lot more while also continuing to grow his label.

Music is power! 

Indie Rock 'n' Roll all the way! I'm proud to carry on my family's musical legacy with my brother Jamie on drums. 

My name is Nick Swettenham and I’ve been a musician all my life. Our late father Geoff and uncle Peter were part of the late 60s Rock ‘n’ Roll movement. Signed by The Beatles back in 1968 with their psychedelic band 'Grapefruit' (named by John Lennon) they’ve inspired me to get my music out to the world. 

Growing up as a teenager in the 90’s I was a huge fan of the Britpop era, as well as other great bands and artists 
 from around the world. Radiohead, Oasis, The Stereophonics, The Verve, Blur, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Smiths, The Cure, The Stone Roses, Smashing Pumpkins, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Travis, Coldplay, Counting Crows and so many more artists have been a huge influence in my sound.
