newcastle, and still there. the Boxed Off ep landed on hot creations in april 2014 and the opening track, Forget, was named track of the season in ibiza that summer. that is the pivot.

six months later he made Voicemail with Green Velvet for relief, then the Now ep with him in 2015, then Mad Motion in 2024, a full decade after the first one. layton giordani remixed voicemail in 2023 and the two of them made Tonight together in june 2026, which is a nice way for a record to keep going.

Trick is his, a label and an event series both, started in 2019. ewan mcvicar, ben hemsley, hannah laing, anfisa letyago and dj deeon have all released on it. his own 2025 went out through it and 2026 has been the opposite, records on Cloonee's hellbent in march, metamorfosi in april and madminds in june. he also remixed Armand Van Helden's Keep Forgettin' in 2025.

he has played sober since 2017 and has said it changed his relationship with music and with partying, which is not a thing many djs at his level say out loud. he now runs an alcohol free daytime rave in october because of it.

dj mag made him dj of the year at its best of british awards in december 2022. this summer he plays creamfields on 29 august, and trick lands in ibiza at 528 on 2 october.
