DJ Madds began his musical career at the age of 11 - when Hip Hop and Electro were a forceful influence.
He has followed the changing styles through the 80's and 90's and onwards - experimenting with as much as he could expose himself to. This diversity has enticed him further into embracing his own sound.
His DJ-ing career has seen him grace many a stage across Europe - performing with Jazzie B, Scratch Perverts, Blak Twang, The Herbalizer, Giles Peterson, DJ Cam and Jazzanova Collective amongst others.
His 20 years as a DJ cover Pirate & Licenced Radio, D.M.C
Competitions, Remixing
and Production, and A&R / Management. He has also been a member of some 5 bands, including his own project Manic Compression.
Madds has released his much anticipated EP
The Twisted Truth, to the clamouring audience in Bristol! The EP is a subtle blend of all the veins of music that have influenced him and that have established him as one of the country's foremost DJ's and producers. His motives in writing are not just to create a piece of music that others can enjoy - it is also to move them emotionally.
To add to his extensive repertoire, Madds has also been remixing tracks for System Vertigo, from which the first single has had massive media coverage; including "Liquid News - BBC," and air-play on XFM. Madds' contribution to the single has charted in the major DJ related mediums; covering magazines and dancefloor Top 10's internationally.
DJ Madd's Tour Experience covers several continents with the Bristol outfit "Monk and Canatella" as both the Tour DJ, and as an integral member of the band including: Fukuoka, Japan (covering the G8 Summit - representing England) the world reknowned Glastonbury Festival (for several consecutive years, on many stages.) The Trans Music Festival (France) also the Melody Maker Tour of Great Britain, plus the Carling sponsored British Tour, again with Melody Maker and also the Ashton Court Festival (Bristol) as the headlining band.
Madds has played across the European festivals and has had on-going radio and television coverage including the French equivalent of The David Letterman Show.

Im back on the case with my solo LP "Epic Journeys" Its been over a year in the writing stage but I'm finally happy with the instrumentals that I've got!

Its a Hip Hop Based Experimental Project with lots of different influences heavy on the Strings, Bass, Beats, Breaks, Synths, 808's and whatever else I could find from the Dark Side!

There's some Cross Genre Tracks with no Samples which is why it's taken a while lol

I'm now at the stage of getting the Artists together to feature on the Project...

More news soon!
