Bio
Connor is an experienced and passionate trance DJ from the North of England. As a clubber first and foremost he is the kind of DJ who comes from the dance floor and understands how to move the crowd.
The Lancashire DJ who grew up in Hyde (part of Greater Manchester), spent his fondest memories as a clubber in the late 90's and 2000's in the golden era of trance, frequenting clubbing institutions and infamous all-nighters throughout the north and midlands, Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Cream, Passion, Insomniacz and Sundissential were where he fell deeply into a sound and culture that went on to shape his entire lifestyle. Connors main haunt was 60 minutes away, travelling almost every week from Manchester to Sheffield to The Republic, the home of the legendary Gatecrasher.
Within his crowd, Connor was the trancespotter, the guy who made it his mission to find the track names and labels he heard in clubs, leading to an endless well of trance knowledge. This made him stand out from the average DJ before he even had decks himself! It wasn't long before his talented DJ friends pushed him to buy a set of Technics 1210's, with their early guidance and his cultured ear, he never looked back. Connor took his time honing his mixing skills while still remaining a dedicated clubber, always learning and being hugely influenced by heros of genre such as Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren and of course Gatecrasher residents Matt Hardwick and Connor's trance idol Scott Bond.
Connor made numerous mixes to promote himself, sending out demo after demo to clubs and promoters across England. Off the back of this, gigs started to roll in and he was invited to play in a DJ competition based in Liverpool with the winner being awarded a set at Nation, the famous home of Cream. Connor won his heat and got to the final where he came runner up to no other than Jordan Suckley.
Connor stepped away from DJ’ing to start a family. Fast forward to the present day Connor now a family man with a young daughter was ready to step back into the scene he has always loved.
Connor now DJing again in the digital era and now being influenced as before by Paul Van Dyk and Scott Bond plus artists such as John Askew, Simon Patterson, Will Atkinson and newer talents such as James Dymond, Kinetica and Allen Watts.
Connor says "Since my return to the trance scene I have had a show on Experience Trance with a monthly show/podcast called 'Here and Now' with myself and various guest mixers. I have done many gigs, playing for many brands such as Rebooted, Insomniacz, Euphoric, Eden Ibiza, Itika Ibiza, Subteran, Fortify, Agenda, Day Breakerz, Euphoriance, Up:Rise, Saturday Sessions, Trance Junkiez, Transonic. Pres Nav’s Trance Party, plus many more Playing alongside some of the biggest names in the industry.
Trance is my life again outside of my family and the passion is burning inside me to play and produce a modern take on the the kind of trance I've always loved, danced to, explored and promoted"
