Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I am a DJ and producer from London and I play and make Minimal and Techno music.
I have been djing for the past 3 years on the scene but started 15 years ago at the age of 15. I started producing 18 months ago and have had releases on Yousel Records, Vudeux Records, ThrentyThree Records and Maintain Replay and have releases scheduled for this year also.
I am a resident DJ for YMO (Yours Mine Ours) playing last year in Amsterdam, Ibiza and at WrAre FSTVL.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Since starting out djing my influences have varied alot. I started on the garage scene early on in 2003 but steadily moved in to House and the Oldkool 90s sound.
Through 2008-2011 I was very much into Progressive House but since then my focus has heavily been in the Techno / Minimal sounds along with Tech House.
As a DJ I aspire to the likes of Carl Cox and Maceo Plex. Carl Cox has been an inspiration of mine since the start his energy and presence is second to none and to have crafted his way through the scene as a DJ predominately is inspiring.
Maceo Plex caught my ear back in 2015 his production style is full of emotion and his DJ sets the same, real different sound and the journey he installs in his sets is right up there.
My taste in music has probably changed as a result. The sound I create is not the norm and probably takes from what I have described and I try to create music which is passionate, unique and stands out. I hope that comes across to people.
What´s new right now?
I have releases coming out on Yousel Records, Twenty Three UK, and Maintain Replay. I have gigs confirmed throughout the year with my residency YMO including WeAre FSTVL and more to confirm across the capital London. I also host a weekly radio show on PointBlank.FM every Thursday night 20:00-22:00 PM.
