About Harvey Bailey

Harvey has been DJing for 14 years, and professionally for 12 years. His style is unique and impossible to label as one genre. It ranges from the old skool garagey US sound of the early nineties to upfront dubby, tribal, underground house with all sorts inbetween; but it’s always bumpin’, top quality and with lashings of pixie dust.

A DJ of superior calibre and experience, Harvey is able to read a crowd through every stage and is a master at creating the right atmosphere day or night.
