The final version of a project started a long time ago! Featuring the inspiring words of Alan Watts and the beautiful chords of Goldmund Threnody.. 

I have collaborated with the amazing Fabian ( @heythisisfabian ) to come up with this mini EP. Fabian sampled my original track from last August and put in some beautiful and haunting trumpet layers to create a downbeat beauty that you can download on his page. 

https://soundcloud.com/heythisisfabian/sets/the-dream-of-life-ft-alan

I have then remixed his remix to end up with this!

Not the kind of music I ever thought I would make, but wanted to get it out there rather than sitting on my hard drive! Original and very different music coming very soon!

Hope you enjoy!

Avril 14th - Sturge Edit (Free Download)

A very overdue mix release.... I have been massively distracted with production this year, can't wait to start sharing some original tunes soon....  There is a cheeky Sturge edit of Belfast in this mix!

This mix was recorded first take and is a collection of tunes that I discovered during 2021. It goes on a journey through progressive, electronica, indie, breaks, ambient, house and melodic techno! Not in that order.. I  hope you enjoy it..

Sturge Live @Euphoria, E1 Ldn

Sadly our headline sunrise DJ wasn’t able to make it to the stage on the Monday night, that is Burning Man in a nutshell! He will be back next year! 

Huge thanks to @Camieldaamen for playing on as long as he could, after he left it gave me an opportunity to close the stage for the last 45 minutes or so. 

What came out of the sound system that morning was from the heart, I wish I could have played longer, but it had been a long shift on the stage that night! I wasn’t planning on sharing this, but too many people have asked me for it, so here it is! 45 mins of chilled bliss! Enjoy!!

Burning Man - Sturge @ Celtic Chaos Monday night

My closing set from room 2 at The Dusty Love Tribe's Summer Gathering with Goldcap, The Scumfrog and Solvane. Was a very long day and night setting up the venue, but once I started playing the tiredness left me and the music took over! 

Recorded on a Reloop tape which I have to say is an amazing piece of kit for recording, but it doesn't seem to let me remaster the recording so it is a bit quiet, so turn it up!!

Sturge @ The Summer Gathering with Goldcap, The Scumfrog & Solvane

Mix from the top of the Galactic Crusader School Bus at our camp Platybus  & the Band.. This party gets better and better each year and this year didn't disappoint!! Few hiccups along the way but to be expected playing in the dust!! Enjoy!:-)

Burning Man 2018 - Sturge @ Tutu Techno

Huge thanks to Lip Bomb for having me! Warm up set for the Lost in Sound takeover.. Frozen Margaritas were being thrown down me, can just about remember leaving their camp! Thanks Enjoy x

Burning Man 2018 - Sturge @ Lip Bomb

So excited to have played live on Pure Ibiza Radio, what an experience! Thanks Cris Kai x... Makes me hungrier than ever to do this more and more! Enjoy! Excuse the slight cut out at the end, my slot was over! :-)

Sturge live - Pure Ibiza Radio

Live recording from Tutu Techno at London Decompression 2018 in Lightbox.. My closing set for the room. Probably the best crowd i've ever played to, insane energy in the room! The Decom community is something special and the event just gets better every year! Enjoy! Track listing to follow x

Sturge live @ Tutu Techno - London Decompression 2018

Remix of the tunes from my hybrid back to back set with lu:sid at the Winter Gathering. Unfortunately the recorder did not work, but I like the tunes too much mot to release them as a mix. This was part of the warm up so quite different to my usual live sets, starts off at 99bpm and peaks at about 110bpm. Enjoy!

Sturge @ The Winter Gathering

Mini mix for the Lip Bomb crew who are very kindly hosting me again this year. Deep melodic techno vibes.. Set listing to follow!

Enjoy! x

ROAD TO BURNING MAN 2019 - LIP BOMB

My set from Wednesday night at Burning Man at Disorient. A collection of tunes that I have been playing over the last 12 months that the Playa needed to hear.. As always one of the best sound systems at the burn.. Thanks to Justin for inviting me to play.. Roll on next year :-)

Sturge Live @ Disorient, Burning Man 2019

Exploring the darker side of my catalogue is always a lot of fun. Back to my roots! This is my set from Celtic Chaos, Monday night 2300 - 0030. 

What a crew and sound system. Thanks Daithi, Crow, Jordan, Evan and all the other legends from CC.. Set list to follow..

Sturge @ Celtic Chaos, Burning Man  2019

My mix from the Fox and Badge's latest instalment - The Beautiful and Damned.. In a dark and weird industrial space in Hackney at the afterparty.. You would never imagine what was going on inside from the outside! Amazing crowd to play to as always, can always experiment a bit with these sets.. Tricky set up to DJ on but hasn't come out too bad... Thanks Alex and Sinead for the amazing parties x

LOCKED AND UNLEASHED..

A mix for a friends party that never was due to the restrictions we all find ourselves living under.  I love this selection of tunes and the flow of the mix so had to get it out there for public consumption, pretty punchy and progressive techno mix...

I’ve started recording studio mixes in one take; no restarts or 2nd chances, hopefully creates a mix with more feel to that in the club.. Also helps me concentrate! This is all mainly tunes that I have discovered during the lockdowns in 2020. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it...

Big shout to some of my friends featured -

@Solvane, @Prismode who are smashing it at the minute, check out their remix of @bookashades Regenerate -

Liquor & LSD

DJ & producer Sturge, originally from Belfast, is now based in Ibiza after spending over a decade in London. He has been DJing and promoting electronic music parties across Europe and beyond for many years, from Belfast to Burning Man, from London to Berlin. As one of the curators for the Celtic Chaos stage at the Burn, he takes equal pride in his curation as much as in his DJ sets..

Sturge is an avid collector of all things electronic. From the early days of purist Techno in the late 90s and early 00s, his repertoire has evolved and he is adept at playing anything from downtempo to Techno, but these days the BPM is irrelevant. His eclectic sets usually tend towards emotive and driving melodic Techno- emotion is paramount in all his selections, and the perpetual intention is to take the listener along on the journey. This journey over the past three decades has led Sturge to develop his personal sound as he continues to hone his craft.

As much a regular in the underground scene as he is on some of main stages in London and at Burning Man, he has shared the bill with the likes of Gorgon City, Township Rebellion, Osunlade, Christopher Coe, Christian Loffler, Igor Marijuan, Seth Schwarz, Natascha Polke, Josh Butler, Roy Rosenfeld, Jim Rider, Jon Charnis, Guy J, Guy Mantzur, Mees Salome, John Daly, Moonwalk, YokoO, Be Svendsen, Jan Blomqvist, Chaim, Solvane, Prismode, The Scumfrog, Unders, Britta, Goldcap, Sabo, Rey&Kjavik, The Desert Hearts crew, and Aidan Doherty, to name just a few! 

Sturge’s first mainstream release, What Were The Skies LIke When You Were Young, was released on Musique De Lune Records in summer 2024. This stunning 5 track EP, featuring the lead track and four remixes, went straight into the Beatport top 10 and gained immediate support from industry heavy hitters Above and Beyond, Adriatique, Audiojack, Agoria, Armin Van Buren, Ame, Black Coffee, Blond:ish, Bedouin, Christian Varela, Jim Rider, John Digweed, Joris Vorn, Joseph Capriati, Marcelo Vasami, Mariano Mellino, Nick Warren, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Loco Dice, Mind Against, Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong, and Solomun. 

Exciting developments are on the horizon for the next chapter of Sturge’s career, as highlighted by recent standout sets at Akasha in Ibiza and a move to a hybrid live set. New releases will be coming shortly on some standout labels- with sets lined up across the globe, the sky’s the limit and the future is bright.
