Small-town life was never going to be enough for an artist whose influences ranged as wide as Goldie, LFO, Ninja Tunes’ collective and genre-creating 80s electro. It was in Leeds at university that P45’s horizons expanded, playing across the city and starting the fabled Room 237, which saw his relentless efforts as promoter and resident bring some of the most interesting and forward-thinking artists, from Ben Sims and Appleblim to Flying Lotus and Jamie Liddel.

Now relocated to London, he continues to twin his production and DJ work alongside the promoting, and whether it’s his genre-bending DJ sets, that take in everything from dubstep, techno, D’n’B and Hip-Hop or his cutting-edge live act, he’s an artists that certainly befits the eclectic tag without edging into unfocussed cliché. P45’s mastery of software, hardware and a spectrum of sounds sees him command regular dates in Leeds, London and Manchester, and as far afield as Croatia.
