Neil Bartley is a name synonymous with the house scene in Edinburgh. Through his residencies at the gone, but far from forgotten, AFTERDARK and Kink (Scotland) he built up his reputation on the scene. Now resident at the mighty Musika, the course has been set for a great future.
Back in 2003 Neil beat competition from around Scotland to win the Bacardi B-Bar DJ competition which was hosted by Scottish radio station, Beat 106. This earned him a trip to New York and a set at Scotland's largest annual festival, T in the Park.
Since then he's appeared regularly on stations such as Beat 106, XFM Scotland, Galaxy, HFM (Ibiza) and a whole host of internet stations. Neil also presented a number of one-off festival radio shows on Edinburgh's' Fresh Air FM.
Last year Neil was named a runner up in IDJ magazines 'Raw Talent' competition.
Over the years Neil has had the pleasure of working with and supporting some of the main players in the scene. These have included King Unique, Spencer Parker, Sharam Jey, Paul Harris, David Guetta, Mark Knight, Funkagenda, John Digweed, Huggy, John Mancini, Tom Novy, Axwell, Martin Solveig, Mark Trophy, Tim Sheridan, Sandy Rivera, Tim Deluxe, Paulo Mojo, Micky Slim, Sebastien Leger, Deadmau5, Paul Woolford, Smokin Jo, D. Ramirez and Booka Shade.
Outside of his residencies, but still inside the UK, Neil has performed at such clubs and festivals as Progression, Stereotype, Unlock The House, Hed Kandi, XPRESS, Colours, Karnival, Boombox, the Bacardi B-Bar tent at T in the Park and the Musika tent at Fantasylands.
Internationally, the 18 months alone has seen Neil headline for Fiesta en la Playa, Mexico (for the third year), as well as for the first time at the Garage Unlimited warehouse party in Estonia. Neil has also played regularly over the last five years in Ibiza (at various bars and clubs including Privileges' Meganite with FILTHY gorgeous).
