A little about me…
Born in 1989 in Portsmouth, I found drum and bass in the late 90’s and picked up my first budget vinyl decks (numark) in the early 2000’s. Unlike most, I wasn’t driven by the dream of playing live in front of thousands of people. Part of that comes down to my weakness for chasing perfection. For me, mixing was a private hobby that I was very passionate about and Drum and Bass spoke to me like no other music. I mixed privately or for friends for many years under another DJ name, and around 2007 I began to follow the trend of transitioning into digital.

Once I moved over to digital (virtual dj at the time) I wanted to start pushing myself onto 3 & 4 deck mixes. Unfortunately finances were still an issue so I had to make the best of what I had. I set up 4 computers (1 computer for each deck due to low grade hardware), 2 mixers linked together and 2 sets of headphones. I reprogrammed keyboards to act as the pitch and bends on each computer. I mixed like this for quite a few years until around 2014, juggling headphones and mixers to create 4 deck mixes. It was overly complicated but it did however fast track my skills in multitasking. Unfortunately around 2014 life took over, work, kids etc and I stepped away from my beloved hobby (although I never stopped listening to drum and bass religiously)

Around 10 years passed before I decided to come back to it. Still on a budget, I picked up the Traktor Kontrol S4 and a copy of Traktor, and that’s where I am today.

Now under a new DJ name with all new social accounts, I’m started from the ground up but with a lot of experience behind me. The name Renaissance is a French name for rebirth, and as my surname is technically French it felt fitting for my new venture.

In terms of my mixing style, I’m known for mixing a huge variety of dnb in my mixes. I don’t like to be confined to sub genres or time periods, so I will find a way to cover the whole of drum and bass in my mixes. 

There’s a lot more to come for sure..

Dirty, rolling dancefloor Drum & Bass
