Introduce yourself and tell us about the part of the UK you’re from?

TAZZZZEEERRRR… I am 24 years old and I currently reside in Oxford when I’m not gigging.

 
Can you tell us a bit about what you’ve been working on recently?

A bunch of remixes, as well as my second single. Along with this I have been working on some new music with some super talented artists, so look out for more information soon!

 
And can you talk us through the mix?

Well, I wanted the mix to be a sort of representation of what I would play in a club. A lot of DJ’s I feel try too hard when it comes to recording mixes. Like, they try and make it all moody and show off their knowledge of music as where I just play what I would actually play if I was performing in a club.

 
Nice, talk us through the British music featured in this mix? Which British artists are you most excited about?

I have a bunch of British tracks in this mix. Especially towards the beginning. Some new bits from Eats Everything, Patrick Topping, Hauswerk, Riaz Dhanani and Max Chapman. Currently some artists I am excited about are Disclosure who have started making a fresh like R&B house sound, Max Chapman who continuously manages to make something captivating and Redlight who is a don when it comes to getting people dancing,

 
Cool, tell us about some of your British musical Heroes and influences in general?

I think Jamie Jones has probably influenced me the most in terms of House music. However it’s hard to say who my DJ hero is as there are so many that I draw inspiration from.

 
Great and what’s on the cards in the immediate future?

At the moment I am spending a lot of time on the road doing shows. I am at a place that I could only have dreamt of last year, so I am just trying to keep up the momentum. Also, like I mentioned before, a ton of new music is incoming! 

 
And finally, where is the best place in the world you have performed and why?

Probably Sankey’s in Ibiza, the sound system in there is mental, and the staff are really down to earth. I love it!
