Gareth purchased his first set of ‘Technics 1210’ decks when he was
17, and since then he has experimented with different styles of
dance music, honing his skills as a DJ along the way. In the early
90s while living in London, the dance scene started to gain
momentum cementing his dance music addiction! After a few years of
DJ’ing in his bedroom and at friends’ parties, his style gravitated
towards house and UK garage, which by the mid 90s were dominating
most of the London club scene. Several stints on pirate radio
stations and regular slots at various clubs around the north-east
of London evolved Gareth’s music taste, with him focussing more on
house and trance, thus following in the footsteps of DJ’s such as
Paul Oakenfold, Sasha & John Digweed. After London, Gareth
moved home to Plymouth for a few years, where he met Jim `TC` and
Steve Bell who both owned a record shop in the town called ‘Needle
to the Groove’ and jointly owned a nightclub called ‘The
Candystore’, which in Gareth’s opinion was the best club in
Plymouth! Within a few months, he started to work alongside Jim
`TC` promoting the club. Now based in South Wales, Gareth has DJ’d
at ‘Liquid’ and ‘Life’ nightclubs in the heart of Cardiff, which
catered for all aspects of music from chart, urban and dance 7
nights a week. Involvement in the Cardiff club scene allowed him to
promote some of the biggest club events in the UK, such as Cream,
Slinky, Sundissential, Timeflies, Moneypennys, L`America and Fresh
City, with regular outside radio broadcasts for Kiss 101 FM and BBC
1xtra. In 2005, he had the opportunity to help manage his first
festival for the Fresh City Arena in Swansea, with Escape into the
Park welcoming over 20,000 mad clubbers! Gareth worked at Liquid
for over 3 years before moving to ‘Evolution’ nightclub in Cardiff
Bay, where he spent 2 years overseeing monthly club events from
Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Escape and Time Flies. Gareth has
continued to DJ at clubs across the country and promote events
nationwide, working with some of the biggest names in event
promotions and the DJ`ing world. Today you`ll find him at
Houseaholics events, the terrace at PL4 (Plymouth), the world
famous 360° bar in Dubai as well as presenting on reelhousetv.com.
This amazing platform allows him to play the music he enjoys, and
share his passion with people around the globe. In 2018, guest
slots on GTFM 107.9fm in Wales opened his heart to new and exciting
avenues.
