Covershocks has been a DJ since his first club residency at 17 years old – now he has several years of experience of rocking crowds and playing alongside some of the worlds best DJs at nightclubs, corporate events and private parties.

Covershocks released an album entitled Cold Calling in 2013. Tracks from the album have since been used on numerous soundtracks in TV and advertising. International DJ Jon Kennedy released Covershocks first E.P. last year. Since then it has received airplay from the likes of 1xtra, BBC 6 and several other networks across Europe. Other highlights include an Adidas advert featuring Leo Messi & Friends, which plays on MTV & Westwoods Pimp My Ride as well as more conservative sound tracking on the National Geographic channel.

Praise over the years has come from the likes of Groove Armadas Tom Findlay, Professor Green, Ty & break beat DJ Krafty Kuts – undoubtedly some of the best people in the industry. In addition, stateside praise has come from Grammy winner DJ Kenny Dope (M.A.W.) and a few other respected DJs on the international circuit.

Technical Specification:
– Covershocks will require 2 x Technics 1210s, a mixer and a monitor. Private parties will need to provide a P.A. system and the above.
– If you need Covershocks to bring his own set up, it is important to allocate time for him to attach his own equipment to the mixer and P.A, and to sound check before the gig. This usually takes 10-15 minutes.
– In special circumstances, he can work with a laptop and DJ controller connected directly to a P.A. though its his preference to have a set of 1210s supplied.

Standard Length of performance:
Covershocks usually plays for up to 4 hours.
