ANd his latest offering - an hour long studio mix for Adam Beyers Drumcode show
Thoughts on this guy and his musical stylings?

Saw him live in philly....set was extremely safe/boring/monotone. Had the feeling of wanting my money back when I left.
Productions are killer, but he didnt play any of them that I could recognize.

He does a reliable line in big room boom-y tech, if that's your bag. Attracts the worst kind of T-shirt/haircut wanker crowds here though, the kind of DJ who you wouldn't go see because you'd hate the crowd too much. He's from Leeds as well so any time he plays here it's stupidly busy.

His productions are good at first listen, but they get old rather quickly. Nothing that sticks and lasts.
I think his hot streak is attributed to people hopping off the EDM bandwagon and into the underground-ish (for lack of a better word) one.
Not too cheesy, not too abstract. Safe party music.

this one is great. the more techy ones do get old quickly.

I'm a fan, especially of his remix of David Lynch and Planes & Trains.

Yes.
The David Lynch remix is the best thing he's done. Still sounds amazing to me.
His DJ'ing is for people who are kind of new to dance music and have lower expectations of a party. Just make speaker go boom-boom-boom while I take selfies with my crew who all just recently turned 21.
His last mix compilation came with a bottle service coupon

Why is it when the DJ is always and their productions are "fire", they're always getting shoehorned production services. It takes so much more intellect to produce a track than to throw a set together coherently, if you cant dj chances are you're not doing the first one at all; Apples and oranges in a way I know but the correlation between the two are woven together in most circumstances.

Sadly, you've just summed up the Leeds clubbing scene. There's a huge student population here - something like 100,000 student in this city - and so most of the bookings seem to cater for this kind of crowd.
