Natural progression
Each section of the set should lead into the next, so the energy grows without sounding forced or disjointed.
How I play
A progressive D&B set full of energy
Audio Demon sets are built to keep moving forward. I like to create a natural rise in intensity rather than hitting the same level from the first tune to the last.
That can mean starting with deeper rolling selections, bringing in more upfront jump-up as the floor develops and pushing into darker tech D&B when the room is ready for it. The direction changes with the crowd, but the set always stays focused, energetic and firmly inside drum and bass.
BuildMomentumTransitionsPressureEnergy
Controlled intensity
There is room to build. Bigger tunes land harder when the set has created the space and momentum for them.
Fast, purposeful mixing
Clean transitions and active mixing keep the set moving while still giving the strongest records enough room to work.
Read the dancefloor
The crowd decides how far and how quickly the set develops, with selections adjusted in real time rather than following a fixed playlist.
Drum & bass direction
Drum and bass built for the dancefloor
Audio Demon club sets stay focused on drum and bass, with liquid, jump-up and tech D&B selected around the room, the slot and the promoter brief.
You can give me a tight promoter brief or leave more room to react to the floor. Either way, the music is mixed as a set—not worked through like a pre-written party playlist.
Send Your Club BriefLIQUID D&BDeeper, rolling and melodic drum and bass for warm-up sets, early-room building and smoother transitions into heavier material.
JUMP-UPHigher-impact D&B for busy floors, peak-time energy and sets that need a more direct, upfront sound.
TECH D&BDarker, tighter and more technical drum and bass for specialist rooms, harder-edged sets and later-night pressure.
SET DIRECTIONLiquid, jump-up and tech can be blended around the slot while keeping the set firmly inside drum and bass.
Experience behind the booking
25+ years behind the decks
The D&B club-night offer is backed by real booth, radio and promoter experience. My drum and bass history includes Bradford venues, long-running radio shows, event promotion and Room 2 at Metropolis in Leeds.
That experience matters when a promoter needs a D&B DJ who understands running orders, booth handovers, room energy and how to support the rest of a specialist line-up.
The Mill · Revolution · The Love Apple
Years of experience playing venue and specialist music nights in Bradford rather than learning crowd control from private parties alone.
Metropolis · Room 2
Played Room 2 at Metropolis in Leeds with Frequency FM, bringing radio and club experience together in a live venue setting.
Frequency FM & UK Bass Radio
Long-running weekly shows built confidence in programming music, pacing sets and maintaining direction over extended broadcasts.
Bradford University · 2003
Promoted and ran a drum and bass night at Bradford University, giving first-hand experience of what promoters need from the DJs on a line-up.

Six details that let me price the club booking properly
A one-hour guest slot using an installed booth is a different job from a full-night booking with PA and lighting. Send the useful information up front and I can quote the right job rather than guessing.

Club Night DJ Bradford FAQ
Useful answers for promoters, venue managers and anyone planning a drum and bass club night in Bradford.
Audio Demon sets focus on drum and bass: liquid, jump-up and tech D&B. The balance depends on the promoter brief, the room and where the set sits in the running order rather than using one fixed playlist.
Yes. Tell me where the slot sits in the running order and who plays before and after. A warm-up leaves room for the night to grow, a peak-time set can hit harder and a closing set needs to keep the floor while still landing the night properly.
Yes. Full-night drum and bass bookings can be discussed where one DJ is responsible for the wider music journey rather than a single guest slot. Tell me the opening time, finish time and the kind of D&B crowd you are programming for.
Yes, where the installed booth is suitable. Send the CDJ models, mixer model, booth-monitor details and any house rules before the event so compatibility is confirmed in advance.
Yes. For smaller venues or private club-style events without a suitable installed system, a professional PA, DJ booth and event lighting can be supplied as part of a wider quoted setup.
Yes. Club-night bookings on this page are focused on drum and bass and are played under the Audio Demon identity: liquid, jump-up and tech D&B rather than a mixed-genre club set.
Requests can be considered when they fit the promoter brief, the venue and what is working on the floor. A club booking is still mixed around the direction of the night rather than becoming a request-by-request playlist.
Audio Demon full-setup club packages start from £349.99. Artist or guest-set bookings using suitable venue equipment can be quoted individually because a short guest slot is different from providing a complete DJ, sound and lighting setup. Send the date, venue, set time, role and equipment details so the correct route can be confirmed.
Send the venue, date, running order, set time, expected audience, music direction, installed booth details, arrival instructions and a named contact. That is normally enough to confirm whether the booking is a good fit and price it properly.
Yes. The venue or promoter should confirm the sound policy, final set time and who has authority over any changes on the night. That keeps the finish controlled and avoids conflicting instructions in the booth.
