EverydayLife Plaindialogue

I'm a dnb guy & just a local DJ
in japan

I started djing since 1999.

Formerly Pleasure DJ, Simon Neal AKA Plain Dialogue started his musical journey back in 1991, buying vinyl and learning to mix during the early rave scene. He began to appreciate the more soulful/musical aspects of the rave scene influenced by DJs such as LTJ Bukem, Fabio and Grooverider, Kenny Ken and DJ Rap. From ‘94 he began to DJ at clubs in London and across Kent including London Astoria and Atomix in Maidstone. Inspired to get involved in production he hooked up with Karl Miller who owned a studio and taught him all aspects of music production, which back then was programming synths, samplers, mixing desk and sound modules.

After just 2 years he started to get noticed with tunes released on labels including Formation Records, 5HQ, Jazz and Bass/Shopfloor compilations, Grid Recordings (including remixes for DJ Zen), Illusion Records (his own label supported by Dylan) then onto Strictly Digital and Nookie's label Phuzion Records Digital.

From 90’s raver to ‘late blooming’ D&B producer, CELO’s focus is on the deeper, minimal and liquid side of the drum & bass genre, with influences from artists such as Leftfield, Arkaik, The Prodigy, Break, Foo Fighters and the old skool sounds of early Jungle, hip hop and rock. 

CELO is a UK drum & bass artist now based in Denmark, with releases on Hyperactivity Music, Midnight Sun Recordings and many others. Having gained massive traction on Spotify, and DJ’d at various club nights such as Subhive and FEUM, CELO focuses on producing melodic, deep liquid drum & bass, with the odd track on the darker side of the spectrum.
