Full Bio

DJ L@rGeY (fka DJ Bugsy) started spinning in 1993 on belt drives bought with paper round wages - graduating to Technics 1210s (same pair still in heavy use today). From the Yorkshire/Lincolnshire free party scene to Scottish club residencies and now Manchester. Three decades of vibes!

His roots run deep - resident at Sourcey, backroom sets at stalwart 90s events Dizstruxshon and Uprising, and countless sets across the Midlands, Humberside and North Lincs original rave scenes. He’s shared lineups with Ray Keith, SLAM, DJ SS, Lisa Lashes, Slipmatt, Sy, M-Zone, Mark EG, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Rob Tissera, Allister Whitehead and more.

Now Manchester based, L@rGeY blends the old-school ethos with nu-school post-modern genre smash up - mixing live on Technics with Serato vinyl control, Hercules controller, Ableton mashups, and a signature cross-genre style. Expect house, bass, rave, trance, techno, breaks, dnb, garage, 90s, dubstep, and unashamedly happy hardcore - all at once - all with care, flair, and NEVER the sync button.

His home setup:
🎛 Technics 1210s or Hercules controller
🎚 Rane 72 mixer
🎛 Pioneer RMX500 FX
🎧 Serato + vinyl controls
🎚 Ableton Live for edits and OBS for livestreams from the Rave Cave

Also, as a grown up: a university academic and former telly and radio producer. L@rGeY brings a deep understanding of sound, story, and flow to every set. Bookings welcome. Good vibes only.

Peace, love & unity.
