Dug-e's musical influences grew with childhood memories from Motown and soul to Dire straits, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Queen So.
In the early 90's Dug-e found dance music and had an affinity for house, hardcore jungle, and techno. DJ’s within his circle like Carl Cox, Ratty, Easygroove, and Donovan Bad Boy Smith inspired him to buy his first set of turntables in 93, and he entered into the dj world. With a mecca of nightclubs in his home town, Goldiggers (running the well-known Devotion night every Friday) was his regular spot to chill. After playing various venues regionally and locally, he got to return to this local hub and play.
Dug-e took a break from the scene for several years. In 2016, he was quickly spotted by Dance Conspiracy head honcho Marcus Allen who added him to Dance Con family with a dj residency in Nov 2017 and he hasn’t looked back. Dug-e has gone on to do special guest mixes for Meditdnb in Greece, on Blackduckradio, and on Donovan Bad Boy Smith’s show for Bassdrive.com. After connecting to Danielle Foster (DJ MissFortune) who runs Futuresoundsradio, he started doing monthly mixes for FSR. Dug-e has jumped into production and has been honing his trade for the last couple years with close friend and DnB legend Muwookie. Together, they have just released their debut 2 track EP with FX909 Music called Can’t Stand the Pain / Still…Keep your ears sharp for more music from this talented artist, as he’s showing no signs of letting up with new projects!



Owner of Hard Times Events.

Born and raised in the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare, England, UK.

After spending his youth listening to rave music via stolen tapes from his older brother (you've all done it hehe) and attending his first rave whilst still sitting his exams (GBH  vs. Fusion @ The Depot) DJing was something Mark had his heart set on doing. 

Hex first graced the decks at a young 17 years old following his love for UK Hardcore. Gaining residencies and regular bookings in his home town of Weston-super-Mare for the likes of Q-Bic, T4 On The Beach and all the local events, this was to be his platform which would launch him to the world of rave and beyond for many years to come. 

Known for his party anytime attitude both on and off the decks, his energetic, freestyle, multi genre sets accompanied by his recognised skills as a scratch DJ, live mash-ups, and his antics behind the decks, Hex is guaranteed to give you full aural satisfaction.

Regularly playing in all 4 corners of the UK and having made himself a fixed name in the underground scene, Hex has earned himself b2b bookings with the likes of DJ Sy and Mark EG, residencies at the mighty Bodstock and Uplode Festivals and often frequenting various events throughout the UK, and has worked alongside most headline artists in the game both as a DJ and as a promoter with his Hard Times brand which is still going and is known to be one of the BEST events in the South West for our soundsytems & lineups
