Having previously released under the aliases Gav Ley & dYstance, predominantly on the mighty but now defunct Top Drawer Digital label, Q Club is a continuation and extension of my previous works.

Still heavily influenced by the rave and dance music sounds of the late 80s to early 00s, the aim of this project is to expand on that by essentially, releasing whatever I feel like, not bound to a single genre or scene. It is also home to previously unreleased works that would otherwise just gather dust.

I am a huge advocate for dynamic range in dance and rave music, feeling that excess of the opposite can destroy the soul of a track, and can be quite fatiguing on the ears, thus, a lot of future projects may not be cold, clipped, brick-wall affairs. I do, however, feel that "loudness" can have a place dependant on the mood of a piece.

I do not use social media and my passion is for creating music, not marketing, so this is the source for everything I create. if you enjoy it, feel free to give it some love, share it and leave feedback.

I do this for the love of creation so most of my stuff is free to download and play. Remix packs/stems can sometimes be made available on request.

For remixes and anything else, please contact: qclubproductions@gmail.com 


Peace and love✌️

After 30 years of carving up dancefloors as a raver/clubber I decided it's was finally time to jump behind the decks and play my style of dance tunes.

My passion for tunes is stronger than ever, incorporating a number of different styles and genres, as long as it is driving hard dance music without the donks.

The label this was released on was known as ‘Second To None’ which was the B-Boy crew of which DJ Junk was a member and so used that name for the new label. The ‘Breaker Breaks’ albums were followed with other volumes to reach volume 6.
