For deejay and producer Lockdown, this is the second chapter. And — in the noble tradition of ‘The Godfather, Part
2' and 'The Empire Strikes Back' — it looks like the sequel is set to be even better than the original.

A few years ago, he'd got his foot on the ladder, winning a few competitions and beginning to score himself bookings.
Real grown-up life with all its inconvenient commitments came calling, however, and music was forced to take a back
seat for a while. Then, the combination of redundancy and the covid pandemic unexpectedly presented him with the
time and opportunity to revisit his passion.

(The answer's no, by the way. The pandemic isn't why he's called Lockdown. He always was, so the covid connection is
pure serendipity!)

Having started raving in his native Bournemouth as a teenager — possibly a few years shy of the legal age,
although you didn't hear that from us — his original genres of choice were happy hardcore and old skool. Having been
exposed to classic rock, soul and Motown by his parents, his older brother had introduced him to the electronic side of
things and when he first experienced the atmosphere and energy of a rave, he instantly fell in love with it.

Lockdown was born and there was no going back.

Discovering DnB in room two of a hardcore dance at the sadly now-defunct Manor club was the final piece of the
puzzle. Studying luminaries like Brockie, Nicky Blackmarket, Mampi Swift and Ray Keith gave him the inspiration he
needed to begin collecting DnB vinyl and practising as many hours as he could.

Supplementing all that deejaying practice, a music production course on his return to DnB added another string
to his bow. Now, he's ready to take things to the next level, bringing the maturity of hard-earned professional experience to bear on this next phase of his career.

And that career has been gaining momentum, as has his stylistic progression as a deejay and producer. Techstep,
jump up, liquid, neuro... If you've caught a Lockdown set you'll know he stays well clear of pigeonholes. It's about
taking his audience on a journey through the music, giving them those same wide-eyed vibes he was smitten with back 
at The Manor.
