I’m a New Zealand–based electronic music producer and DJ originally from Scotland, with a strong background in composition, sound design, and live performance. My work focuses on creating immersive, emotionally driven soundscapes that blend progressive house, melodic techno, and cinematic influences. Over the years, I’ve released music on respected international labels including Balance, Plastic Fantasic, Vapour, Mango Alley, Selador and more, with support from established artists such as Sasha, Hernan Cattaneo, Nicolas Rada, DJ Ruby, Ezequiel Arias, Anthony Pappa, and Gai Barone and many others. My career began in the 1990s during the rise of trance and progressive house, when I developed a technical focus on seamless mixing and storytelling through DJ sets. After holding a long-term residency in Edinburgh, I spent several years working across Asia before relocating to Auckland, New Zealand in 2008. In the studio, I work extensively with hardware synthesisers and analog gear to capture organic textures and dynamic energy. I’ve collaborated with artists such as Sam Hopgood and Luis Damora, and performed alongside international names including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, and Guy Mantzur. Today, I continue to balance music production, performance, and creative collaborations, bringing a deep understanding of both the artistic and technical sides of modern electronic music.
