It has been a dream of mine during my DJ career to play for Promise and warm up for an event Richard Tulip was playing at. This is my "home" sound.

Without the likes of Richard Scott Bradford and Tony Hutchinson playing at Promise & Shindig at Foundation every week, I wouldn't have been inspired to play the way I do. 

I either wouldn't have been a DJ at all, or a different sound may have taken to me entirely if I had grown up a few years later. 

This is my personal collection of music which takes you to what first inspired me on the dance floor. In 2002-3 I would get low quality downloads off Napster/Kazaa to listen back to at home and it was all about this sound for me. I used to attend Trance events only to discover this music was often the warmup but the feeling it brought out of me would open me up and get me moving when I wasn't a natural dancer. 

Special thanks to Mojaxx for recording a video of this using a handy new piece of tech (more on that later) and for all the kind words from the dance floor and other DJs. You could tell I was having as lovely a time as you all were! 

PS. The 2nd last track was actually a new promo from UnbrokenOne who's an up and coming producer in Hexham near Newcastle. Thank you Damien for sending me that - it went down very well!

Live @ Promise! vs. PROGRESS:ON (WHQ) Thrillseekers 2025

UK based Co-founder of PROGRESS:ON. DJ and Event Promoter. In 2024 Nasser has relocated from living in Cyprus to his hometown in Newcastle. During lockdown his live stream series “Melodicast” grew into an exciting gathering of music lovers on Youtube, and when events opened up this became a sunkissed 3 year DJ career across the beach bar, nightclub and festival events based along the Mediterranean coastline, which has further curated his style today.

Nasser’s personal taste is inspired by the connections he made with strangers on the dancefloor when a special moment is felt together –  which he believes is only achieved with phones away so we are present with one another.

He is one of the first promoter DJs in the U.K. to bring regular daytime electronic music events to clubs and outdoor spaces in his hometown. Celebrating it’s 5th birthday this year, PROGRESS:ON, has uncovered a niche of people of all age ranges who want to party in the day and remain ready to take on tomorrow. Nasser’s event was born from moving into a house where he could throw house parties with loud sound systems, and they attracted so many people it eventually had to go public.

Today Nasser serves DJ Mag's favourite clubs including Guaba (Cyprus), Digital, theCut and World Head Quarters (Newcastle), and a recent highlight BEONIX Festival & Sunset Tribes Festival in Larnaca.

Nasser is growing an international electronic music following. His cross-genre journeys through rhythmic, bright and vibrant sounds are influenced by the basslines of Serge Devant, the grooves of Jimpster & Marlon George to the energy of Butch, Josh Butler & Nick Curly. 

Nasser regularly DJs at festivals and venues in the UK and across the Republic of Cyprus for GUABA, KESH, AGORA ROOFTOP, NOA BEACH and BEONIX FESTIVAL and throwing intimate terrace parties in Newcastle UK under his event brand PROGRESS:ON. 

When not DJing in-person you can catch him live streaming in front DJs and music lovers worldwide on youtube, growing awareness for artists, labels and enabling everyone to discover brand new releases from rising stars in the scene.
