A true original rave legend, but "legend" means "a story told" ....and this story is FAR from done

Luke Mcmillan - The Dj Producer - Original UK Hardcore Techno Dj from the school of 1992.
& producing since 1994 & proud instigator & part creator of the genre "UK Hardcore".

A Dj 1st & foremost. Luke's skills have been continually honed with pinpoint accuracy since his scratch Dj days of the late 80's, & its that phrenetic style that he continually persist's to achieve. Never lazy, creative at its fundamental core, and an almost supernatural ability to mould and layer sound, at points you may even forget Luke is playing individual tracks, needless to say, if you have never witnessed one of "The Dj Producers" Dj sets -- you haven't seen DJing - Period. 

For sure, his speed, dexterity and showmanship may have got him noticed, but he is also a deep digger, with vast knowledge that has been acquired over years, sometimes playing sets that alienated audiences who "just weren't ready" .... a true renegade who fought for advancement of the music and to break all rules and regulations, these rules still apply , you may not know 80% of what Luke is playing ......but thats the mark and art of a proper dj

And as Luke is a Dj at his core, that energy he emits when he Dj's can be heard in abundance in his productions. To witness him Dj actually helps you understand where his music comes from, and you'll understand quickly that his music comes more from reaction, not to play any genre game or chase any current trend, but to keep it as High tech, High emotional and as vital as can be witnessed in his sets. Luke's take on Hardcore is truly Luke Personified. 
There is only 1 The Dj Producer.........
