In his music you can hear him taking influences from a 17 year love affair with electronic music. Having played around with DJing before taking up production which steadily moved towards a live show.

“I knew from the early beats I was receiving from DROKKR that one day he would be on Badman Press, and atm he is really growing into his own sound and obviously enjoying himself – when I listen to “Big Drink” I have no choice but to smile and nod my head in respect to the man from Ireland doing it big with a style that goes down from California to Bristol and beyond!” – DZ
