Pirate Sessions Vol 8 - Lavan

DJ’ing started for me when I got my first turntables at the age of 14 in exchange for a Playstation. After being heavily influenced by cd's that my mum used to bring home which included Tuff Jam(Karl Tuff Enough Brown & Matt Jam Lamont, masters of the UK house & Garage scene)and Speed Garage Anthems cd’s I figured that this was a hobby I would show a great passion for. At the age of 19 I started to get involved with the Birmingham club scene and eventually obtained bookings at Hidden, Moon Lounge and Subway City to name a few. I also had chance to play on the pirate radio station I listened to when growing up, Silk City FM. A goal which always stuck in the back of my mind. After a good three years of spinning at clubs around Birmingham, the scene started to die down a little. It was then that I decided there wasn't much out there in terms of dance music with the boom of electro and fidget house taking over. 

After a three year break from being involved with the club scene I decided it was time to pull out the headphones again and get back on board. Playing a style consisting of US/UK House & Garage and Deep House I managed to build up my confidence again by securing residencies at 2:31, Bushwackers and FACE, all very successful parties in Birmingham. I carried on dj’ing in clubs until my early 30’s until I decided enough was enough. Nowadays I’m just a very avid lover and collector of different styles of house and garage and sometimes when I get time I love to whack a mix together for people to enjoy 😁 My passion for house and garage music will always be strong.
