Merlin's Apprentice live @ Psymera Summer Boat Party -  2019 - Daytime party

Check my sets for the best of the best!!! Operating since may 2013

Started mixing back in 2002 with a pair of belt-driven Geminis and a 2-Channel Numark, and learnt to play the hard way at after-party sessions, plugged into a wide-screen television! A few thousand hours of obsessive playing and tinkering later (and a few equipment upgrades)...

Over the last few years: rotating resident at dance:love:hub and a variety of gigs: The Butterfly Effect, Tribal Village, SecretSoma, UFO/Unique Tribe, Psyrhythmix, PSYMERA, J00F Editions, Planet Angel, Trancelucid, Inertia (Brighton), Transcend and Psyology (Birmingham).

A sound that blends a love of  melodies with darker-edged underground sounds, playing a range of styles and genres from atmospheric and progressive techno, through progressive house and underground trance to progressive and full-on progressive psy.

Having a bit of hiatus at the moment due to becoming a daddy...may be back in a year or two! :D

"When I go to a night club, I’m not going for the fire that’s coming out the walls, I’m not going there to go be in the VIP area, and drink fancy Champagne. I don't need big breaks, and a big song with a buildup, and lights and smoke… coz all you need is a kickdrum and a good bassline, and… you don’t need any of that other shit, it’s all confusion… I got enough problems on my own man with women... and jobs but ah, ah I’m not going for any of those reasons… I sure as hell… I’m just going for the Music!"
