Biography

A Dj with 12 years experience behind the decks,Rob's versatile approach & in depth Knowledge

of music have led to many great gigs over the years. Although mainly a hobby for most of those

years Rob decided to take things a bit more seriously at the begining of 2012,& it seems like

the hard work is starting to pay off.

With regular gigs for Manchester based classics night Anthematics since the start of the year,

his debut at Rong,guest mixes for Northern Shores,Team 140+ & Trance Renaissance.

(the latter even getting a review by the N.M.E on their website)

& with future gigs coming in thick & fast, things are looking promising for Rob.

Although "Driving,energetic & uplifting trance with a dash of psy & tech & a few classics for good measure"

is Robs main style,he is also comfortable with many other genres of edm.

Having dabbled with hardhouse,hardtrance,electro/tech house & breaks over the years,trance has always been

his main passion.

A true clubber at heart,Rob's passion for dance music started in the early 90's "Rave Boom".

Regulary attending raves such as Dreamscape,Kinetic & Pandemonium, often having to sneak out as

he was still at school. His love of trance began in late 94/early 95 after hearing Oakenfold's

legandary Goa mix & Carl Cox's F.A.C.T & really blossomed in the late 90's whilst working in London.

It was during this period that he started to collect vinyl, going to the record shops buying the tunes

he heard while attending as many trance & hardhouse events as he could,regularly going to nights such as

The Gallery,Peach,Sunnyside Up & Frantic.

Even though mainly a hobby,Rob has been fortunate to play some good gigs over the years,alongside quite

a few big names & at some amazing venues.
