DJ - D10 DJ Profile
I started getting into German Hard Trance after seeing DJ Scot Project at Gatecrasher in 2002. That was the decider for me in what style and market to hit. I found it more driving and melodic at the same time.
It’s a breath of fresh air when I hear DJ Scot Project play or any other German Hard Trance producer / DJ’s, as it isn’t played out much in the UK.
I am rare breed when it comes to genre of music, I produce and DJ German Hard Trance / Hardstyle. I also produce UK Hard Trance under my other alias Mercurial Virus but I concentrate mainly on my D10 and Viper stuff.
I am now more known through my tracks especially my remix of Neon Lights – Not Over Yet. This production kicked it all off for me back in 2004 after I asked Steve Hill and Jon Langford if I could remix it.
After Not Over Yet I came up with covers of Binary Harder, Fine Day, Café Del Mar, Ready Or Not and remix of Tricky Tricky. There are many more to come.
In October 2005 I went on tour in Australia and played at big gigs alongside some big names.
I played at Tuned at the Tunnel, Black Magic album release at Rise alongside DJ Scot Project. The Tricky Tricky Launch Night at Gas, alongside Steve Hill, DJ Nervous as well as playing alongside Australia’s big names Amber Savage, Nik Fish and Yoshi.
DJING STYLE
I would say my style of djing is Hard German Trance with a bit of hardstyle. Starting with Hard German Trance and going on a harder journey up to the hardest hardstyle. I dance around like a nutcase while djing which gives out a good vibe.
