Gareth McKeown began DJ-ing in 2000. Based in Bristol, Gareth soon made a name for himself, and by 2002 had become resident DJ at Bristol’s most infamous House venue – Bar Latino, and was making regular DJ appearances at the weekly pre-parties for the world renowned ‘Slinky’. Gareth’s abilities clearly didn’t go unnoticed by other promoters either, and many more requests for him to play his trademark Soulful House sets quickly followed.
Today, Gareth maintains the soulful aspect in his DJ-ing including vocals and sounds which brought him so much success during the early part of his DJ Career. The influences of Roog & Greg (Hardsoul), Audiowhores, Jamie Lewis, Shik Stylko, Copyright, The Jinks, Spen, Panevino, MoD, and Miguel Migs have all contributed greatly in Gareth’s progression as a DJ and are still evident in his sound.
Gareth McKeown is one of a special breed of DJs who can play warm up, end of night, or even start to finish sets, and his quick rise to being one of Bristol’s most promising new DJs has already gained attention from national/international promoters allowing him to DJ for: “The World’s Most Glamorous Club” ‘Miss Moneypenny’s’, ‘Hed Kandi’, and ‘Pukka Up’ – Evidence that Gareth is making good impressions in all the right places!
These gigs, as well as DJ-ing at his current residency for ‘Push’ has given Gareth the opportunity to DJ alongside some of the world’s best DJs including: Seamus Haji (Big Love/MN2S), Stonebridge, Lee Pattison (Deepgroove/Underwater), Ken Fan (Miss Moneypenny’s), Grayson Shipley (Deepgroove/Underwater), James Talk, and Tom Budden. Plus top local DJs: Paul Conroy, Nathan Thompson (Kiss FM), Will Bailey (Toolroom), Lukas Hopwood (Gaydar Radio), and Ian Cole (Chicago/Digital).
This year promises to be another big one for Gareth as he continues to push himself to achieve even more at the next level of his DJ career with appearances lined up at many more top clubs & venues including summer festivals
and nights in Ibiza.
