Long-form DJ shaped by underground rave and club culture before festivals rewrote the rules.
I came up on vinyl, playing extended back-room sets where DJs were trusted with time. 3-4 hour sets allowed space to tell a story, build tension, and let music unfold slowly.
Before DJing, I was a drummer in industrial bands, working with synths and drum machines. Rhythm has always been the foundation. Everything here is bass-heavy, dark, and driven by movement.
I spent years curating a music collection with intention. I believe people should come to a DJ to trust their taste and discover music they didn’t know they were looking for—not hear a jukebox of what they already know.
Before modern festivals turned dance floors into content and popularity contests, raves were immersive and often spiritual. A great DJ set wasn’t background—it was the point.
