"OFTEN DJs PRIORITISE PLAYING POPULAR SONGS TO CREATE EMOTIONAL STIMULUS FOR THE CROWD... BUT FOR ME, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF DJING IS TELLING A GOOD STORY... THIS REQUIRES NOT ONLY AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLES THAT DRIVE A GOOD STORY.... BUT ALSO HOW TO PUT THIS INTO PRACTICE. THIS IS THE TRUE ART OF DJING"

Radio Residency

I host a weekly radio show called the "Balearic Sunday Sessions" on V Dub Radio - a station with a global footprint, specialising in alternative music & lifestyle.

As with the bar residences I play a variety of downtempo music.

"On The Road" Sessions

A pet-project dating back to 2018. I venture out into the world - me, my DJ gear and some cameras. I attempt to capture and align the energy of the music with the energy of the location.

Often I play melodic house, although techno, breakbeat and drum & bass make appearances! 

Japan, Hong Kong, South Africa and Slovenia are a few examples of places I've visited on my travels.

A GOOD DJ IS SOMEONE WHO CAN SENSE THE ENERGY OF THE ROOM... LOCK THE MUSIC INTO THAT ENERGY AND THEN USE MUSIC TO MOVE THE CROWD UP & DOWN AT WILL.
