Get to know the artist 
What was the first piece of electronic music you listened to?

My earliest memory of listening to electronic music must have been around when Deadmau5 was getting really popular, my favourite album of his will always be “For Lack Of A Better Name”.

Best memory of a rave attending?

A night I went to last November in Stirling called Phat Earth Society - they were meant to be having another night this year but of course Covid got in the way of that. The first night was insane though, about 100 people all stuffed into this tiny room with a massive PA system - what a time it was!

Best set you have seen?

I’d have to say again the PES night, a couple of my good pals plus another couple of guys they knew doing a b2b2b2b was crazy, their track selection complemented the vibe of the night so well. I lost my voice afterwards it was such a wild night.

Favourite type of music you vibe with which is not dance?

Whenever I’m not digging or listening to dance music I mostly find myself listening to liquid drum and bass or some indie/ rock/ downtempo to wind down.

Inspirations?

Laidback Luke is one of my biggest DJ inspirations, and I think it is because of his ability to turn a track on its head during a set to throw everyone off of what they already know within the tracks he plays - the manipulations he does on the fly to either add or take away layers to suit the set is insane and that is something I try to integrate into my sets as well - creating my own buildups or breakdowns to work the tension and keep things interesting for both myself and more importantly the listener!

What do you think electronic music provides people with?

To me, electronic music provides an escape, another world away from reality that you can go to any time you like for a few minutes or a few hours. You can find such elaborate soundscapes and environments within the genre and that is pretty much why I fell in love with not only the genre, but the whole scene as well because of the sense of community and unison you feel with others who have the same interests. 

What genre do you prefer to play?

I absolutely love to play all kinds of house music and that is what I normally gravitate to whenever I’m spinning some tunes on the decks, but I consider myself to be a multi-genre DJ because I not only love to play house but I also find myself playing all sorts of techno, drum and bass, disco, UKG and even sometimes dubstep - just whatever has a fat and groovy bassline really!

What kind of setup do you have/ want to get?

Currently I am using a Pioneer DDJ-1000. I’ve had that for roughly a month now and I absolutely love it, it is such a great controller for all of my needs in terms of DJing. In the future though I think I’ll make the jump to a CDJ setup - something like XDJ 1000’s and a DJM750 or something like that :)

Tell me about the club scene in your city

So in Stirling where I live there are two mainstream clubs - Fubar and Dusk - But if you’re looking for quality club/ dance nights, then Shapes, LooP, Stirling Underground and Phat Earth Society are your best bet, great selectors and great people all around. Those are just some of the great folks that host nights. They’ve had some huge names come to the wee town to bring the heat and I can’t wait to see who they bring in the future when this horrible virus is over the horizon.
