It's Minimal Mix - June 2021 - IM005

I first started DJing in 2016, I'd recently moved to Manchester and found myself regularly partying at Sankeys, Covert, Kaluki and Warehouse Project. I was finding so much inspiration from the music scene up here that it really spurred me on to select tracks myself and eventually play out in town.

It blossomed into a major passion for me, the thrill of blending tracks and making mixes. I'm very much a multi-genre man, taking interest in soulful tracks, rolling basslines and grooved up percussions. In recent years I've become a lot more focussed on minimal, most of the previously mentioned elements go hand in hand with the genre and the likes of Chris Stussy, Toman, Dimmish and Rossi, to name a few, consistently put out some of the best minimal in the game.

In 2018 I started to get my first gigs, which began in bars around Salford Quays, I've gone onto play at the brilliant Stage & Radio in Manchester's Northern Quarter many times, which boasts a naughty little basement and also my first festival in my home region, Cornwall. I had been going to Leopallooza for years with my first being at 16 so it was a great honour to be taking part and doing the thing I love. A great little festival that's had the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Redlight, Mylo, Crazy P and Danny Byrd grace the dance arena.
