About
After years spent out raving to a soundtrack of hardcore, techno, D&B, house, breaks & more Andy decided it was time to step the other side of the decks and A:B:S was born. Although originally making his name as a breaks DJ, A:B:S’s sound has evolved into a mixture of techno, electro house & breaks, complete with a hefty dose of acid for good measure. The epitome of Tech-Funk.
Now 5 years on from his first gig A:B:S has played in numerous venues around East Anglia alongside the likes of Riva Starr, Specimen A, Apply The Breaks, Funkasaurus, DK (Ninja Tune), DJ Cheeba & Drums Of Death amongst others. Andy also ventured further afield to play at NASSfest 08 alongside Merka and Ben & Lex. In June 2010 Andy played his long overdue first London gig supporting the legendary Basement Jaxx. August 2011 saw him become a resident with the Tech-Funk Depot, starting off by supporting Hybrid & Dave Spoon in Brixton, following on to a set at Lot 49’s Fracture Halloween party alongside Meat Katie & Vandal.
Feeling that the time was right Andy launched his own clubnight called Mind-Funk in December 2011. Based at Tribal Nightclub in Colchester, Mind-Funk is all about presenting the cream of the Tech-Funk crop alongside up and coming talent from near & far. After a successful February party with Dopamine and the likes of Meat Katie, Rektchordz & Lee Coombs lined up it looks like it’s gonna go off with a bang. Couple this with his TFD residency, a long term residency at Dirty Spirit in Cambridge and many more gigs in the pipeline, A:B:S is certainly one to watch.
Aside from playing live gigs Andy is also a regular radio host. After 2 years presenting the &rt;&rt;Forward Thinking&rt;&rt; show on iBreaks radio, in 2010 Andy moved on to pastures new and found a new home at the Breakspoll award nominated Rough Tempo Radio. The new show gave him the opportunity to spread his wings away from the confines of a ‘breaks’ station and move towards a more techno orientated sound. Catch him playing live to an ever growing number of regular listeners every Sunday night 10pm - Midnight GMT on http://www.roughtempo.com
