thanks for reup, it's still great

Guys like Desyn were ridiculously talented and he was helped up through the ranks by people like Omid (16b), Pete Tong and Digweed.

I'm going to be careful as to what I say here but Desyn used to have to take time off each year to sort himself out. Not sure if the lifestyle caught up with him.

They were doing pretty well as SOS (Sex on Substance) with Omid (16b) and Demi, but sadly the legal wranglings such as putting out mix comps, licensing and managing their schedules apparently got in the way.

used to love me some SOS


I always thought Desyn OD'd or something. Him & SOS were huge for a short moment, He always looked lit

Well not quite OD'd but he could certainly caine it and needed to detox every year.

It seems from social media he's about and playing, but in one interview I saw a while back he basically said their prog scene dried up and he, along with a couple of other well known gus had to survive by playing online poker for a few years.

He seems to be gigging again, but it's weird he's lower down on a listings at small festivals and clubs where people I've never heard of are headlining. I would have thought he still ahd pull but maybe he changed management or something.

He's probably having a better time doing it as well. The brand of Prog they were in to somewhat died and was probably slim lickings so rather than sell out, it's a smarter move to just do what you love and hope you get paid. Worked out for carl Cox lol.

Looks like it. He speaks very passionately about his 'new way'. I believe it is very hard to "reinvent" yourself music wise these days, but he is doing it well. Mix I posted got a lot attention.
