Biography

Liam has been DJing for over 7 years, and has had regular bookings for the past 3 years. Liam 1st started playing out when he was 18, in his hometown of Ballymena in Northern Ireland.  He quickly built himself up a profile within the local scene and had 8 bookings in his 1st year on the circuit. A family move to Essex gave Liam the opportunity to spread his wings, and with a bit of persistance he gained work, and a weekly residency soon followed. He stayed in Essex for nearly 2 years and says it was during this time that he really got to grips with playing to a crowd. He returned to Ballymena with even more passion for the scene and went on to win a DJing competition run by Fergie and his mum (Keymix DJs). Soon after the work picked back up, and soon he was playing out every week.

Liam prides himself on having a huge passion for all kinds of music and can adapt his DJing style to fit into almost any club environment...Not because he has to, because he wants to. Be it house, techno, tech-trance or hard house, Liam's sound has a distintive filthy feel to it.
