Home/Tag: House Music

House music, is a style of electronic dance music that was established by dance club DJs in Chicago that were influenced by mid-1970s dance music as played by DJs in New York, and spread to Detroit, New York, and eventually Europe. House music is strongly influenced by fundamentals of the early to mid 1970s soul- and funk-infused dance music chic of disco. House  takes disco’s use of a prominent bass drum on every beat and created a new style by mixing in a heavy electronic synthesizer bassline, electronic drums, electronic effects, funk and pop samples, and reverb- or delay-enhanced vocals.

London Clubs are back

After a very barren two years some of the clubs are now back (unfortunately not all survived Covid) I am now reguarly asked to play in some of the best bars and clubs in London for both club and corporate events. Below are recent videos of me playing at Q-Club in Shoreditch, Aures in the Arches under Waterloo station and at Putney Pies in, you guessed it Putney.

Ibiza in video

High lights from my many trips to Ibiza, last year I made 9 trips during the season..... so many great memories. Be it playing or DJing at venues such as Pikes, Es-Vive, The Beach Star etc or for an intimate party on a remote part of the island, I really get a lot of inspiration and feed that back into my music that I play. I have the experience of having worked in Ibiza many times in all sorts

Cotswolds wedding - Cripps Barn was the venue for this wedding in the Cotswolds and what a wedding it turned out to be. I was joined by Andre on Sax who had flown in from Marbella that afternoon, we worked really well together and that helped make the party go with a swing. The venue (Cripps Barn) is one of the best I have played in.... Great Sound system, staff, food and its the right size too.  

Pikes Ibiza – Freddie Rocks Party

Back for it’s 9th summer, we see Freddie Rocks at Pikes as an annual party that truly puts the ‘fun’ in fundraising, as international and local DJs, Ibiza residents, holidaymakers and the entire Pikes family all come together to make a contribution to the foundation while honouring our late great hero in a way we believe would have made him break into that signature grin. If you didn’t already know, Pikes was the place where Freddie Mercury celebrated his wild and wonderful
