Distract is a versatile up and coming DJ and producer from Bristol, UK. He started producing in 2004, unless you count previous experiments with

ReBirth and Dance eJay, while studying Music Technology. These earlier production attempts were inspired by the sounds of Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares and various ragga jungle producers. Then in 2006, through discussing drum and bass with friends, he was introduced to other styles like jump up, liquid and techstep. In 2007, after a housemate bought some decks, he started learning to DJ. He had caught the bug and a few months later bought his own set of decks.

Distract played his first set at a friends party in 2007 and took part in the Chemical Records DJ Competition in 2009. In 2010 he played his first set at Epiphany, then played his first internet radio show the day after on jungletrain.net. He became a resident DJ at Epiphany, and later that year he also became a resident DJ at Bristols longest running deep drum and bass night, Intrigue.

2011 has been an interesting year so far for Distract. He has joined the Combination Massive team of DJ's, producers and MC's, had his first sample pack released and also has his first tunes lined up for release. Keep your eyes open for more sets, sample packs and releases in the future!
