Here's the basics: I'm Irish but I've recently re-located from London to Berlin. I'm a burgeoning maker of techno.
I got my start as a DJ while working for Mixmag where i spent seven years working my way through various titles: club listings ed, news ed, music ed and features/Big Tunes ed.
My first track Machine Ate My Homework was released on Moodmusic in 2006 and was supported by a wide range of people including Laurent Garnier, Luciano, DJ Hell, Tiefschwarz, MYLO, Ewan Peason, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Howells and James Lavelle.
The follow up 'So That's What Happens' was released on Moodmusic in December 2006 and is a collaboration with Craig Torrance. My remix of the debut single from the excellent UNKLE album with The Cult's legendary Ian Astbury on vocals came out in August 2007. Berlin's True To Form label released my next track 'Praia Brava' in January. Get Physical offshoot KIndisch put out my Opium Haze/Professional Exit 12" a few weeks later and and a remix for F COmms star Alex Kid's new label Imprimé is due in February amongst other releases on labels like Paradigma, Moodmusic and Leftroom.
As a journalist I've written for broadsheets like the Irish Independent and the Scotsman and been interviewed as a dance culture pundit on ITV News, Channel 4 News, BBC News 24, BBC 1 News at 6 to name a few. I started my career as an intern at CNN in Atlanta. I've been DJing professionally for four years. I'm currently resident for Bristol's leading underground party Bump and as a DJ I've played in places like Ibiza, Barcelona, Brazil, Portugal, Ireland, Miami, The Ukraine and Poland as well all around the UK.

my favourite 'everything' changes daily and I like my tea white with two sugars (well stirred in a decent mug).
