I am a classically trained musician but have always had a love of all electronic music, in particular trance. I was slowly introduced to electronic music through the sounds of Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and Orbital with snippets of similar sounds in a developing South Africa. However, it was Paul van Dyk's sound that truly captured me. I have distanced himself from the ‘fluffy’ trance sound of the late 90’s, and have expanded sets to include more tech, house, electro, harder dance and progressive trance sounds.

I have played alongside top trance and hard dance DJ's like Paul van Dyk, Scott Bond, Super8 & DJ Tab, Mike Koglin, Proteus, Adam Lab4, Andy Farley, Lisa Pin-Up, Nick Sentience, Vinylgroover, Phil Reynolds, Paul Glazby, Orkidea, Will Holland, Fred Baker, Marcel Woods, Eddie Halliwell, Adam Sheridan, Marc Van Linden, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Ronald Van Gelderen, Simon Patterson, Andy Moor, Markus Schulz, Richard Durand, Gavyn Mytchel and Signalrunners to name but a few.

I have helped promote Wildchild events since 2005, and have recently begun helping promote Friendz parties as well. Check them out and join as members: http://www.dontstayin.com/parties/wildchild and http://www.dontstayin.com/parties/friendz-parties

Residency:

I am a resident DJ for an online underground radio station which I started with one of my brothers featuring upfront DJ mixes from all genres.

Static Progress is an independent online radio station that exists to enrich people’s lives with great programs and services that inform, educate and entertain. Its vision is to be the most creative, trusted station in the world. It provides a wide range of underground electronic dance music for everyone to enjoy, free of commercial interests.

Our music policy is 'anything that is underground and electronic'. We are not one of those other stations that only plays one genre. We believe "if you over specialize, you breed in weakness".
