Back to artist list...
Ryan arrived in the World on a Winter's day in '79. Growing up in Basildon in Essex, initially he found joy in late 80's pop music. He quickly became a fan of local heroes, Depeche Mode, who influenced him greatly. As he grew older, he found himself turning on to new sounds in the form of 90's rave, through to soul, funk and retro disco.
Realising that he wanted to share this music with others from a young age, he set about DJing at local weddings, birthdays, hospital radio & anywhere they would let him play music. During this period, he heard dance music being played locally & it made him hungry to hear more. After saving to buy his first pair of record decks, he handed out mix tape's to everyone he could. Shortly after, he was selected by a talent scout who offered him a resident DJ slot in a bar in Corfu, Greece.
After playing two seasons in Corfu, Ryan returned to Basildon to work as a mobile DJ. After DJing to drunken party goers at karaokes & discos in his hometown, Ryan began losing faith in the music he loved. Several years later, we both met by chance on a cruise ship in the Carribean where Ryan was DJing. Soon after, we began work as a duo. Ryan has DJed across the World, from the Carribean to Clapham, Ibiza to Ipswich & continues to enjoy opening minds to different sounds.
