Nascido e criado na cidade maravilhosa, teve sua formação musical 
forjada na efervescência da transição entre o som das discotecas de fim dos anos 70 e início dos 80 e o ritmo que invadiu o planeta com o advento da 
House Music, bebendo muito nas vertentes genuinamente norte-americanas do Hip Hop e do freestyle de Miami. Iniciou sua trajetória como Dj no início da década de 90, tocando nas lendárias pick-ups das festinhas “HyFy” ainda no subúrbio carioca, numa gênese de combinações rítmicas que iriam moldar seu repertório clássico a se espalhar junto com sua caminhada por vários rincões do Brasil nas próximas décadas. 
Amante das batidas compassadas da House e suas subdivisões, sem 
abrir mão de belos vocais, logo cedo se apaixonou pelas produções 
lendárias de Frankie Knockles (criador da House Music em fins dos anos 
80), tendo como referência Djs como Marcelo Mansur (Dj Memê), Iraí 
Campos, Marlboro, Marky, entre outros. 
Tendo conhecido boa parte do país, e algumas pistas lendárias do 
mundo como os celeiros de Nova Iorque e Miami, fruto de sua carreira no 
Exército Brasileiro, pode agregar a sua refinada e seletiva bagagem musical 
as influências regionais de artistas e clubs que se mantém, hoje, como 
referência no cenário mundial. 
Foi Dj residente da Rádio Giga de São Paulo por 2 anos, tocando 
semanalmente seu Set no programa Gigabeats, um dos mais ouvidos pela 
web no período de 2009 a 2011. 
Foi professor de mixagem e cultura musical em diversos cursos 
rápidos organizados na região de Ribeirão Preto e Campinas. 
Residindo por 18 anos na cidade de Pirassununga, no interior 
noroeste paulista, trabalhou com eventos sociais diversos, tocando nas 
principais casas e clubs da região como Sinhô Barriga, Macaboo e Friends Music, Polillo e Braghim. Reside em Brasília-DF desde outubro de 2016, tendo tocado em diversas festas privadas, bares como o Royal Lounge, e em eventos anuais que congratulam Djs do cenário brasiliense, os quais organizou por diversas vezes. Atualmente, apresenta seu trabalho em festas privadas em bares conceituados de Brasília como o New Mercadito, também tocando em ocasiões especiais no belíssimo lounge do restaurante Manzuá.

I like to create mixes of atmospheric progressive house, with the occasional bit of techno thrown in too. I always strive to make every mix a proper journey, hopefully ebbing and flowing whilst balancing dark and light, throughout. 

All my mixes contain a blend of propulsive, driving tracks, coupled with deeper, more emotional productions. There is so much amazing music out there, and I always aim to do it justice, and put any track in a context that will give it maximum impact - whilst still fitting perfectly with the mix as a whole. 

I know when the time is right to record a mix, as I feel an absolute compulsion to do so. Everything uploaded to this page has come about as a result of that. I hope they all convey the overall feeling, and warmth, that I was striving for.

I am immensely proud of all of the mixes I have uploaded to my page, and the many others that are hosted elsewhere on this site - all of which can be found my playlists. I very much hope that any of you kind enough to take the time to listen, enjoy them.

I was a resident for Progressive House UK from 2020-21, and all the mixes that I recorded for that excellent site, and many others not on here, can be found at:

In addition, I was a winner in a mix competition judged by Quivver in 2017, a hugely proud moment. I have also done guest mixes for Gai Barone's Patterns show, Il Modo, PFG, Saturo Sounds, 21C Progressive House and Melodic Distraction.

A bit about me: I am Edinburgh born and bred, I feel incredibly lucky to call this beautiful city home. Growing up, the house was always full of music thanks to my parents. I was also lucky enough to be exposed to some fantastic music thanks to my older brother's exemplary taste.

When branching out on my own, of a wide variety of genres, Depeche Mode were the band that spoke to me the most - with honourable mentions to New Order and The Smiths. 

Even as a young child, the dark atmosphere of their tracks resonated with me, and that has been the biggest influence on the kind of progressive house that I play in my sets.

It was early 90s rave music that first got me into dance music, but it was hearing the bassline on Orbital's 'Halcyon' for the first time in 1995 that made me realise that such music could move you in many, many more ways. 

Seeing Leftfield live in 1996 at the Barrowlands in Glasgow remains the most incredible music experience I've ever had. I was a regular at some seminal Edinburgh clubs in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it was at the legendary Taste where I truly found my clubbing utopia. 

In 2006, thanks to the generosity of Mark and Brian at a Taste afterparty, I had a shot of CDJs for the first time. Later that year, thanks to the advent of virtual DJing, I began recording mixes. I've never really stopped since.

In terms of influences from the world of progressive house, there are too many to mention - but Quivver is my all time favourite producer. As such, when my December 2017 mix was picked out by him for a mix competition he was running, it was among the proudest moments of my life.

I would always consider myself to be a bedroom (or living room!) DJ first and foremost, but I have been lucky enough to play at some fantastic clubs and venues.

I made several appearances at Karnival in Edinburgh, the undoubted highlight of which was appearing on the same bill as Inner City. I was also lucky enough to play at (the sadly now defunct) Kinfolk in Brooklyn NYC, with two of my closest friends.

If DJing was something I never thought I'd end up doing, making music most certainly wasn't - but thanks to Edinburgh legend Kev Wright, I have co-produced numerous tracks that have been released since 2011.

Through Kev I was also lucky enough to tag along with he, Gary and the Beat Laundry crew - and playing live streams during lockdown, with that amazing community, managed to put so many special times into an era that was so challenging for everyone.

My true happy place has always been playing at parties in my living room, or at a friend's house, with a great group of people. 

Those opportunities are few and far between now since my amazing daughter Anya was born in 2023 - but I'm at a different stage of life now, and I am blessed to have this amazing addition to an already phenomenal family.

Making mixes will never leave me though, and I very much hope to still continue to do so, as much as I can, going forward. As much as it's amazing playing in front of a crowd that you're in sync with, I love the permanence of a recorded mix.

There is no better feeling than receiving messages from someone you haven't met, on the other side of the world, letting you know that they are enjoying something that you have created.

As long as I feel compelled to keep putting them together, I will most definitely do so. 

(Very well done if you read this far!)
