Produced and Recorded

DJ/VJ collective blending beats with bold visuals. We craft high-energy DJ sets layered with nostalgic 90s analogue aesthetics - think VHS glitches, CRT fuzz, and retro video loops. Our mixes are a sensory throwback, built for YouTube, social media, and underground dance floors alike. Sound and vision collide in pure rave revival.

Live Music

Recording Sessions

I’m an amateur studio technician with a passion for sound and a hands-on approach to audio production. I’m proficient in Avid Pro Tools and Ableton Live, using both for recording, mixing, and creative sound design. Whether it’s tracking live instruments, shaping electronic beats, or experimenting with audio textures, I love getting deep into the process and constantly learning as I go.

Audio Engineering

I’m a proficient sound technician with hands-on experience setting up and running audio for live events. From small gigs to community spaces, I’ve worked on PA systems, live mixing, mic setups, and troubleshooting on the fly. I have a strong understanding of signal flow and stage patching, and I’m confident working under pressure to make sure everything sounds right. Always learning, always focused on helping events run smoothly.

Live DJ Sets

Performing under the alias Dystopian, I’m a skilled DJ with a deep love for trance - from hypnotic builds to high-energy peaks. I mix both digitally and on vinyl, blending classic techniques with modern flow to craft sets that hit hard and feel immersive. Whether it’s a club night, DIY rave, or festival stage, I bring a versatile and atmospheric sound built to move people. Based in Salford/Manchester and available for bookings - let’s make it loud.

Production

Trance

I produce my own trance music - building tracks that blend euphoric melodies with driving basslines and atmospheric textures. Inspired by the classic sounds of the ‘90s and early 2000s, I focus on creating immersive journeys that work both on the dancefloor and in the headphones. Using Ableton Live and hardware synths, I love experimenting with layers, effects, and rhythm to craft a sound that’s emotional, energetic, and true to the trance spirit.

Psy-Trance

As a psy-trance producer, I create tracks designed specifically for the DJ and festival environment. My sound blends powerful basslines, hypnotic rhythms, and psychedelic textures, crafted to keep the dancefloor moving and the energy high. Drawing from classic Goa influences and modern psy-trance, I focus on producing dynamic, peak-time tracks that are built to resonate with festival crowds.

Minimal Tech

I produce minimal tech tracks designed with vinyl DJs and collectors in mind. My focus is on deep, groovy rhythms, intricate percussion, and subtle textures that come alive when played on vinyl. I craft each track to offer a raw, tactile experience — perfect for DJs who appreciate the warmth and depth of analog sound. Drawing influence from stripped-back techno and minimal house, I use a blend of digital precision and hardware-based production to create tracks that fit seamlessly into any vinyl DJ set, adding energy while maintaining a smooth flow on the decks. My minimal tech releases are built for vinyl and designed to resonate in the intimate, organic setting of the dancefloor.

Sound Design

I’m deeply into sound design, using raw data processing and field recordings to create unique and immersive audio. I love capturing sounds from the real world — whether it’s nature, urban environments, or random objects - and transforming them into something entirely new. By manipulating these recordings through various techniques, I craft textures, effects, and atmospheres that evoke emotions and shape the sonic landscape. For me, sound design is about experimenting with the raw material of everyday sounds, bending them into something fresh and innovative, always pushing the limits of creativity.

Ambient Sound

I create ambient music that blends atmospheric soundscapes with subtle textures and deep, evolving layers. My focus is on creating immersive environments that transport the listener, whether through soft, drifting pads, organic field recordings, or minimalist melodies. I use a combination of synths, effects, and field recordings to build soundscapes that evoke emotion and invite introspection. Whether it’s for personal listening or as the backdrop to meditation or creative work, my ambient tracks are crafted to create a sense of space, allowing the listener to get lost in the mood and atmosphere.

Flowers Consume Memories

First Official Mix

"Flowers Consume Memories" is my first official mix — a raw and emotional dive into psy-trance, created and recorded in my childhood bedroom. Mixed on an old Pioneer DDJ-400, this set marks the moment everything clicked for me. It’s where my passion for DJing and music production truly began. The mix blends hypnotic grooves, driving basslines, and trippy atmospheres - all reflecting the energy and inspiration I felt while putting it together. It’s more than just a mix - it’s a personal milestone and the starting point of my journey into sound.
