Label: Black Reaper Records

The love for music started just before puberty set in.
There Roy got inspired by rock music.
AC/DC was the first band he really listened to.
This was also his first concert ever.
15 years old and going to see AC/DC in 1996.
Shortly after, Guns n Roses, Metallica, U2, Smashing Pumpkins and Red Hot Chili Peppers was all he listened to.

A bit later the music got more intense.
He started listening to bands like 
Rage Against the Machine, Sepultura, Machine Head, Pantera, Korn and Limp Bizkit.

In his early 20's he took a more mellow path music wise.
60's music got his interest.
Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, BB King, Bob Dylan, The Doors, The Animals and his biggest hero's where, and still are The Rolling Stones and Dire Straits/ Mark Knopfler.

Then... May 10th 2003. The day history was made in so many ways.
Roy lives right next to Arnhem football stadium 'Gelredome' where a certain DJ 'Tiësto' performed.
His mates all went and asked him along.
He never was into dance music but he was so impressed with the show, the scene, the fans, and his interest in dance music was born right there.

Shortly after he stared to buy Tiësto albums.
In Search of Sunrise 4 was the first dance album he bought and the interest in this music genre kept getting bigger and bigger.
(Ironically, that album remains his favorite album of all times)

The following years a friend told him:
'You will never appreciate the skills of a DJ if you never DJ'ed yourself, because then you will truly know how hard it is and what it is all about'.

With those words in mind he bought a 2nd hand set of turntables and a mixer and i got started.
It took some time before it all went smooth and after a few months he really felt comfortable.
Ever since then he played trance music exclusively but after hearing Dan Southward's radioshow 'Deep Senses Radio' early 2010 his interest in 
progressive house and deep house was awakened.
This made quite some changes in his style but this made Roy more complete as a DJ.
Later on he let other styles like tech-house and even techno slip between his sets just to keep things interesting.

Early 2013 Roy's friend Dan Southward picked up on Roy's progressive house sets.
He heard how much he improved his sound and he asked him to join forces and host his monthly show together.
The name of the show was Deep Senses Radio.
This was a great succes and Roy has been a part of the show ever since.
The style of the show is Deep House, Progressive House, Tech-house, Minimal and Techno.
January 2016 Dan decided to leave Deep Senses Radio and went solo with his own radioshow.
Roy changed the name in Deep Senses and started counting from 001 again.
Ever since, the format of the show is a mix by Roy Malloy in the first hour and a guestmix by a different DJ in the second hour.

Skipping to September 2021 and Roy succesfully made 100 episodes.
This was celebrated with an exclusive 5 hour mix with all of his favorite tracks of the past 8 years.

Roy's broad taste in music is very noticeable in his sets and he is never afraid
of trying out new things or just do his own thing.
The only words that come to mind when describing Roy's sound is divers, different and bold.

In 2015 Dan Southward and Roy Malloy started out their own record label called D&R Digital.
