Artist: Nez  [Computer Controlled Records]

As we venture into the 19th edition of The Frontier we are excited to welcome an Artist and label owner that we’ve been fans of for a long time - The Belfast-based DJ and founder of Computer Controlled Records - Nez 

Over the past 2 decades, he’s carved out a distinct voice in the underground scene, both as a selector and as a curator, driven by a deep respect for the roots of electronic music and a hunger for its future possibilities. 

Known for intense, tightly crafted sets, Nez brings an uncompromising approach to the dancefloor. His selections speak to years spent digging, listening, and understanding how music moves people physically and emotionally. There's a clarity of intent in his sets: no gimmicks, no trend-chasing, just pure, high-voltage energy built for dark rooms and late hours.

Through Computer Controlled Records, he’s released music from like-minded artists who share a passion for hardware-driven sound and DIY ethos. The label has become a trusted outlet for heads seeking depth and authenticity, reflecting Nez’s commitment to keeping the underground alive and vital.

Outside the booth and studio, Nez remains active in the Belfast scene, supporting local talent, hosting events, and helping build a space where music can thrive on its own terms. Whether he’s playing to a packed club or championing a new artist, the goal stays the same: to serve the music and the people who live for it.

For his Frontier mix Nez has delivered an hour and 40 minutes of his usual full throttle style, heads down, dance-floor orientated pumpers. This is definitely one that will require some dancing shoes.

Founded in 2023 by Barcelona based artist @PedroCapelossi, REFRACTION is a musical imprint representing some of the world’s most avant-garde visual artists, designers and musicians. 

With a borderless approach, the label’s output is inherently deep, and it is this one singular musical undercurrent which ultimately links our cohesive catalog together. 

Blurring the boundaries between house, techno and its closely related derivatives, REFRACTION operates with an inherent understanding of the principles set out by electronic music’s greatest innovators. 

It is under this ethos that we look forward to the future and in turn stretch the creative confines by which traditional genre templates now seem so passe.

I would say I’m from the school of house, with an introduction to clubbing in Glasgow from around 1997 at nights like Pressure at the Arches, Relief at Alaska and the famed Harri &amp; Domenic regulars at the Sub Club. 

Labels like Paper Recordings, Glasgow Underground and Soma Records really moulded my love of house/techno and almost 25 years Djing, I feel that often that sound still remains in a lot of my sets, even if disguised as disco or something a little more leftfield. With a love of synth, well produced percussion and anything that can lock you in a groove I’m not too fussy about genre.

Spending many years in Aberdeen led to me taking residency along with Chris Knox at the regular Metropolis nights, which in addition to the regular residents nights saw me warm the house for guests such as Dave Clarke, Surgeon, FC Kahuna, Justin Robertson, Felix Da Housecat, Miss Kitten, Billy Nasty and Claude Young. Working though many bar residencies has also provided a platform for more experimental sets, with a more downtempo sound.

Currently producing dreamy, hypnotic, blissed out electronic music under my Theta Waves moniker.

I'm currently one of the residents of the subSine | Sessions, and present the monthly subSine | Sessions show on Glasgow's own Buena Vida Radio. 

I like to keep things moving and I’m a fan of contrast, believing that every set should tell a story, not necessarily have beginning, middle and end but be the type of story that you would want to read again.
