Composer, pianist, and teacher from the midlands, England.

I compose for many different instruments & ensembles, in a variety of styles & genres. My main instrument for new works is the piano, which I fell in love with as a boy. I have had my music played all over the world and I have personally toured Scotland, Italy, and England to perform. In 2014, Sir Derek Jacobi recorded one of my poems from my WWI inspired composition 'Valour.' 

If you like what you hear, then please follow my page! 

I will be uploading some free music on here so watch this space....

Meet Intershock, the dynamic DJ/Producer duo hailing from Northern Ireland—comprising Matt Ferguson and Sam Reid. Since embarking on this musical journey in 2021, they have steadily ascended to new heights, leaving their mark on the Hardstyle scene.

Renowned for their high-energy sets, formidable kicks, and euphoric melodies infused with a straight-talking raw edge, Intershock has become a force to be reckoned with. Their debut release on Upcoming Records and more recent signing to Theracords LABs has consistently elevated their standards, setting the stage for what promises to be a remarkable 2025.

At the core of their project is an unwavering ambition and drive, propelling them to push creative boundaries to the brink and beyond. This is just the beginning of their journey, with the duo emphasizing, “You get back what you put in, and we’re giving this everything we’ve got.”

Stay tuned for more hard-hitting releases and performances from Intershock in the coming year.
