Making music with my machines

Booking :(Live set Only)juliette@blbcagency.com

Beamed from outer space like a cosmic pied piper , Tristan da Cunha was put on planet earth to make us move. A serious collector & selector with an expansive record archive that has both depth and breadth across the many genres . Match this with his infectious energy behind the decks and you have a sonic force that never fails to move the dance floor and pop the party no matter where he plays. 

With a deep passion for the finest underground dance music his aim is always to free your mind , move your body and elevate your soul . Effortlessly straddling yesterday’s forgotten gems and tomorrow’s classics with one foot in the past and one foot in the future. Always at the cutting edge and never repeating himself with his fluent improvised flow. 

Learning his craft many years ago through his ongoing 16 year residency at the infamous institution BacktoBasics , now about to enter a new exciting phase at The Church in Leeds UK . Also an honorary resident at Glastonbury festival with Block9's kaleidoscopic fun house NYC Downlow which Tristan sights as a 'strobelit utopia' and one of his favourite places on the planet.  Regularly turning it out at some of the finest rave meccas across the planet by himself or with his dynamite Dungeon Meat project alongside Brawther, it’s easy to see why his contribution to the dance floor has seen him span nearly 2 decades and continue to win fans everywhere he goes. Add to all this a trickle of studio productions and remixes topping the sales charts and an emphasis on quality not quantity…  the future looks so bright that da Cunha will have to permanently wear shades.
