Ally’s love for music was there from a very young age. Although his mum could never afford to buy new music when he was a child, he always had access to bang up to date music at his local Youth Centre. They offered a lending service where the kids could borrow one record per week. Ally inevitably took his borrowed records home, and used to try and copy them all at the same tempo so he could mix them on tape! Then, after watching a few boys DJ at the youth centre, he was itching to give it a go. When he turned around 12, he started learning to DJ properly (when they finally gave him a shot on the decks!) and he picked it up within a few mixes, as he’d been watching the older lads for so long. This is where his love for music really had a chance to kick off and develop into a lifelong passion. Ally then advanced to a set of decks. He couldn’t afford to buy any on his own so he persuaded a mate to pay for half of them - Ally would have them for a month, then his mate for a month etc. Ally finally had his chance to master the art of DJ-ing, dedicating hours upon hours practicing mixing – much to the consternation of his mum’s neighbours! After a few years of playing in his bedroom (and investing in some headphones), it was time for him to showcase his talents in a club. He decided to start his own Club Night “Rock Solid” @ The Bongo Club in Edinburgh, where he booked JP & Jukesy, Jason Cortez & Phil York, and himself as resident. The first night didn’t draw the crowds through his lack of experience in promoting events, but this didn’t deter Ally as a DJ. Over time Ally continued to develop his own style and carried on DJing Hard House, Hard Trance & Techno. However, he found himself, slowly and surely being drawn towards the production of dance music-. A mate introduced him to producing tracks on ‘Music 2000’ for the Sony Playstation 1 and Ally was amazed and hooked by the concept straight away. This was a basic introduction to dance music production, but even such a simple program was enough to show Ally that he wanted to pursue it further. Ally made a conscious decision to leave full time work in order to attend college to learn Music Production Technology where he began to learn how to use Pro Programs such as ‘Reason’ and ‘Cubase’, which he excelled at because of his instilled lifelong enthusiasm for music.

Recently, Ally Has had one track released on a small digital label called HTD Digital (www.htddigital.co.uk) but the big one, his track "Teardrops In Fire" Has been snapped up by the mighty Bonzai records and has support from the likes of Ernesto Vs Bastian, Riccocha, Mallorca Lee, Steve Anderson & Paul Trainer!

A lot more to come from this up and coming dj/producer so weep your eyes peeled.
