Like most members of the Planet Angel crew, I started my PA life as a partygoer. I’d always been into the trance but when I heard the music played in the Meltdown Room, it was like magic: the music was so fresh and exciting, and as soon as I heard it, I knew I had to get involved in the events. I played my first guest DJ slot in 2004 and after regular repeat bookings over the next few years, I had the huge honour of being appointed a resident DJ in early 2007.

I DJ professionally, and have played for many of the biggest trance parties in the UK. I also co-produce with fellow Planet Angel resident Sly One, who’s a great friend: we’ve over a dozen releases between us and our music has been supported and playlisted by some of the biggest names in the industry. You can buy our music on www.audiojelly.com, www.beatport.com, www.trackitdown.net and many other download sites.

For me, the music in the Meltdown Room is all about excitement and energy. Great trance music has that ability to make people move and dance no matter how tired they are or what time of the night it is, and it’s music like that which fuels my DJ sets. I love the pumping, bouncy, uplifting side of trance but I’m equally at home playing the early night music where groove and basslines are more important than those hands-in-the-air moments.

I consider myself a better DJ because of Planet Angel’s influence. The privilege of being a monthly resident means I have the challenge of being versatile enough to cover a wide variety of set times, and also the ability to play more than one music style across the various rooms. Playing my first Chill Bar set was a lot of fun: I got to play a whole different style of music and the feedback from the partygoers was really positive. My roots will always be in the Meltdown Room sound though and I get the biggest thrill from playing to Planet Angel’s partygoers – still the best crowds anywhere!
