Through CR2 he has released 2 EP’s including the massive dance floor hit ‘The Club’ as well as exclusive compilation album tracks. Along with his own productions he is part of a side project entitled #DAH. #DAH is a collaboration between himself and his old production partner Dan Turner. Inspired by a mutual appreciation of classic 90’s US house and garage the two decided to create DAH as a means of paying tribute to the works of artists like Masters At Work, Roger Sanchez, Eric Morillo and Armand Van Helden and labels such as Nervous Records and Strictly Rhythm, whilst also drawing on each other’s individual style and talents. DAH aims to emulate the vibe of the original classic recordings while updating the formula with a contemporary twist, appealing to both old and new heads alike. Currently co-signed to Cr2 Records they have released 2 EP’s and in 2016 released their debut album entitled ‘The Album’
