I’m an ex-Royal Air Force Officer turned dance music producer based near London, England.  My main influences include BT, Way Out West, Hybrid, and The Crystal Method, more recently I enjoy Tritonal, Norin & Rad, Matt Lange and Blackmill.

I’ve been producing since July 2007 and in that time I’ve been lucky enough to have had chart success in the US, UK and worldwide (top 20 US Billboard Dance, top 10 UK Music Week Dance and number 1 World DMC Trance) with both my original material and remix work.  Although my early work is not as polished as my current material, I’m still proud of it.

My tracks have been supported by a plethora of ‘Super DJs’, including Armin Van Buuren (ASOT), Paul Oakenfold (extensive radio and club support), Markus Schulz, Agnelli & Nelson (Mercury & Solace - ‘Big Tune of the Week’), SolarStone (Jacinta's Voyage - 'Big Tune of the Week'), Annie Nightingale, tyDi, Kenneth Thomas, Menno De Jong, Mr Sam, Gareth Wyn, Matt Darey, Jaytech, Burufunk, Shingo Nakamura, Kyau vs Albert, Lange, Darin Epsilon, Ronski Speed, Manuel Le Saux, Cosmic Gate, and D.O.N.S. My tracks have received radio play on various FM stations across the UK (including BBC Radio One), the US, and across Europe, from Russia to Greece. My first single ‘Open Up’ ft. Alexandra Greene debuted at No. 1 in the DMC World Trance Chart, and was also the highest chart breaker in the Music Week Magazine Top 200, peaking at number 10.

I’ve produced and officially remixed a number of artists from around the world, in a variety of genres, including an official remix for BT’s Grammy nominated album ‘These Hopeful Machines’, Kirsty Hawkshaw, Cybersutra, Kinky Roland, Tiff Lacey, Molly Bancroft, Andrea Britton, Anji Bee, Marcia Juell, Tom Noize, Andy Gray, Vicky Fee, Alexandra Greene and Sylvia Tosun.

I’ve tracks signed to labels including Black Hole, Nettwerk, Perfecto, Thrive Records, Loverush Digital, KULT Records, Bonzai, System Recordings and Sea To Sun Recordings.

I like to think I am a versatile producer, and I enjoy a wide range of genres, although I tend to concentrate mainly on trance, breaks and leftfield.  I also do sound design work, and have provided demo tracks for sound design companies.

I’m currently producing an album focused on intelligent, interesting, multi-genre, dance music, not necessarily aimed at the dance floor.  I’m also working on an EP with Tiff Lacey of leftfield electronica with ‘danceable beats’, 2 tracks with the legendary Kirsty Hawkshaw, and have recently completed a collaboration with Laurent Veronnez (aka Airwave) on a track for his forthcoming album.  In addition, I do regular remix work.  See my ‘Contact’ page here if you’re interested in me remixing for you.
