Fire Beats Vol. 1 - EP

Siege - Play Me [Nothing Else Matters]

Drawing influence from his love of the early 2000's Deep Tech-House scene and twisting it with todays more familiar feel of Dub, Minimal, Deeper edged Techno, Valpy manipulates sounds into what he feels is right for the darker clubs & dance floors, creating a sound that does not follow suit, bending a few 'rules' along the way...

Using his many Clubbing experiences over the years in the UK, Ibiza, Amsterdam & beyond, Valpy has developed a passion for raw emotion filled techno, often challenging the sub woofers with his bass heavy touch, without busting the bank on the tempo front. A balance of 'good vs evil' can often be witnessed in a Valpy Techno piece

Fascinated with pitch & bass, Valpy has moulded and evolved his sound into what he produces today, recently gaining support from Pig & Dan, Ramiro Lopez, Dubspeeka & Matt Minimal, who also contribute to the style & development of his tracks, along with Alan Fitzpatrick, Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati & Carlo Lio

Having had 2 EP's released on dubspeekas Skeleton Label and also with Seva Records, Plunk, Lethal Script & Berberris in 2014 alone, Valpy's sound has now been recognised by fast up and coming label Gain Records, (supported by the likes of Richie Hawtin) with a Solo Artist Album due for release in April 2015. There are also further releases on Skeleton and new outfit Kitchen Smoke pencilled in over the next couple of months too

To close, Valpy aims to produce music he wants to hear on the same dance floors that he frequented over the years, experimenting along the way to produce his own unique blend, with the odd twist & turn along the way...

Siege's connection with music runs deep. As a child he was drawn to sound for as long as he can remember. Piano lessons gave him a formal start, but electronic music quickly took over. The energy of eurotrance and the possibilities of sound design opened a new world.

Turntables soon followed. DJing was a way to share that passion, but it wasn't enough. He wanted recognition for the music itself, to create something of his own, so producing became the natural step. Over time this grew into a sound shaped by house, techno and trance, with the drive of techno, the groove of house and the melodies of trance when the track allows for them.

A defining moment came with Crunk, a rework of Mary J. Blige's "Family Affair," released on Azuli. After being swept up in an EDM wave that never felt right, this marked a return to his roots. From there his music began gaining support across the spectrum, from undrground pillars like Carl Cox and Adam Beyer to more mainstream figures such as Tiësto and David Guetta, with consistent backing from BBC Radio 1 selectors including Danny Howard and Pete Tong. Gigs grew in scale, with Tomorrowland's DreamVille stage standing out as a breakthrough, born from a simple email to the festival founder that led to a performance for thousands. His tracks went on to find a home on Toolroom, Saved and Truesoul, while shows took him from Tomorrowland to Eden Ibiza and Studio 338 in London.

Even when life pulled him away from the stage, music stayed close. Coming back was never a question of if, only when. The focus now is simple: make music, and build from there.
