HISTORY
Slipcode is a hard dance, Trance, Techno and house DJ from the UK. Having started off listening to HipHop and Electro whilst at school, slipcode was introduced to electronic sampled music in the early 80's with groups such as Kraftwerk and The Art of Noise being prominent in his playlist.
Being hooked on loops, beats and samples, it was inevieatble that slipcode would make his way through the 80's synth beats and into Acid House and dived head first into the 90's Rave scene. Attending infamous named events by ESP-Dreamscape, Fantasia, World Dance and Raindance he was addicted to the thumping bass from huge sound systems and the never ending energy the DJ's provided. Slipcode is old skool through and through with the medals to prove it.
Late 90's and 2000's bought Hard House and Trance to slipcodes attention. Borrowing heavily from the ealrier rave scene, slipcode immediately felt at home, and his true love of multiple genres was realised.
INFLUENCES
Slipcode's style is to reflect a journey through his crowd pleasing attitude to music, his energy and tune selection speaks for itself. Old skool breaks, deep Heavy basslines and Rave Stabs are key factors but Trance is his main love with those melodic highs, thumping basslines and faster pace are a staple of his mixes.
Inspired by those previous years, slipcode decided to invest in some decks and from that moment he decided he was in this for the long run. Years of energy dancing in-front of the decks soon manifested itself again behind them when he was playing.
Having spent time around DJ's and ravers for the previous 15 years, slipcode built up a nice circle of experience that he was destined to learn from. Watching the DJ's in the clubs and learning new techniques helped him hone his skills and it showed in his sytle. From blends to chopping, slipcode's confidence grew.
DJ's such as Billy Daniel Bunter, Dougal, SY influenced slipcodes style. Later listening to and watching Paul Oakenfold, Dave Pearce, Sasha and John Digweed provided some amasing technical knowledge. <more dj's>
