About

I create experiences people feel, remember and carry with them.

For ten years I’ve been building places where people come together to dance. A community on a Thai island. A festival that travels. Dance floors from Koh Phangan to Sweden, Ibiza, Tallinn and Amsterdam.

Music is how I do it. People are why.

Based on Koh Phangan, Thailand. Working internationally.

I am

a founder.

Two projects, one idea: bring people together, give them great music and room to move.

Ecstatic Dance Koh Phangan

I started Ecstatic Dance Koh Phangan in 2016. Ten years on, it’s a living community: a dance floor on a Thai island built around music, movement, freedom and connection.

I lead the creative direction, the music, the event design and the community that has grown around it.

Co-Founder & Festival Director

Ecstatica Festival

An international conscious dance and music festival, made to travel. It has come to life at Ängsbacka in Sweden and here in Thailand. Wherever it lands, it’s about the same things: the music, the movement and the people who turn up.

I am

a DJ.

I learned to DJ in the UK rave scene of the ’90s. The house and techno roots are still there, inside a much wider sound.

I read the room and build a journey. Playful, then still. Rhythm, then space. A night that starts as a celebration and ends with people closer than when they arrived.

I am

a teacher.

I teach what I’ve learned by doing it: years of running real events for real dance floors.

DJ foundations
Technical skills and confidence behind the decks, starting from zero.
Reading the room
How to watch a dance floor and respond to what it needs.
Journey design
Building a set with an arc, from the first track to the last.
Event creation
Designing events and conscious dance spaces people want to come back to.

I also advise teams creating dance spaces, events and community-led experiences.

The long way round

Rave DJ. Aerospace designer. Burnout. Photographer. Adventure biker. Founder.

I’m from Cornwall, England. I discovered the rave scene in the ’90s and started DJing. Then came a corporate career in aerospace design and, in 2009, I burnt out.

I left the corporate world, travelled, found myself, and spent the next decade behind a camera as a photographer. Ecstatic dance brought me back to music. In 2016 I started a dance floor of my own on Koh Phangan in Thailand, and I’ve been building ever since.

When I’m not behind the decks, I’m either on a motorbike or swimming in the sea. I’m a keen adventure biker and I’ve explored a lot of Asia on two wheels. It’s one of my great passions.
