Liz Wigley - Tek-No V1

Liz is a classically trained musician who bought her first set of turntables almost 25 years ago after falling in love with trance after being a regular at Gatecrasher at The Republic in Sheffield.

Self-taught, she quickly learned the ropes and landed herself a residency at Domain in Harrogate
where she warmed up for DJ’s including Eddie Halliwell, Andy Durrant, John Kelly and Nick Riley.
She also regularly played at Leeds night Kemistry as well as playing at clubs including Bubblelove
and Mainframe Festival. She also was lucky enough to play at the legendary Republic in Sheffield
alongside Paul Van Dyk where she played Saxophone in the 2nd room with 'Open Up' and she
was the resident Saxophonist at 'Speed Queen' in Leeds between 2002 and 2004.

After a 15 year hiatus Liz took up DJing again, forging her own distinct driving sound - a hard hitting mixture of Tech Trance and Techno. In 2018 she won the Uplift DJ competition, winning a set at their main event playing alongside Activa, Sam Laxton and Mickey Marr. 

Since then Liz has graced the decks at many top nights including Gatecrasher, Rong, Trance Sanctuary, Anomaly, Magnetic, We Are You, Dimension, Section 39 and Tremor.

Liz has always been a massive fan of John Askew's VII label, in 2020 she won a competition with her husband Melvin Sheppard to remix Simon Pattersons - Spike. The track was released on their Volume II Compilation on Simon Pattersons mix as well as getting its own release on VII which charted at 20 on the Beatport top 100. Spike was also played by Armin Van Burren on ASOT and was been nominated for best track of 2020.

During lockdown Liz was very active playing numerous Live streams for Trance Sanctuary,
Tremor, Radiation Recordings, Rebels TV and Trance Room playing alongside artists such as John
Askew, Sean Tyas, Sam Jones, Signum, Paul Denton, Shugz, Renegade System, Asteroid and
Billy Gillies.

In 2024 she won a competition to play at Ben Nickys Misfits night at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester.

Liz’s sets are always hard, full of energy and creative often combining Trance, Tech Trance, Techno and Psy. Expect the unexpected!
