Turno

Starting his DJ career early on at the age of fourteen, Turno was forced to choose Music Technology as an option at School after all the other subjects were taken. Little did he know back then this was probably the best decision of his life. Like most DJ's Turno started out with the very basics. Initially, starting his career by mixing with a pair of IMG Stage Line Belt Drive turntables in 2003 after buying them from a friend, along with five to six vinyl’s that saw Turno repeatedly play to practice his mixing technique. With the likes of 'Addicted to Bass' by Pure Tone and 'Keep ya Heads Ringing' by Dr. Dre constantly being blasted out by Turno (this is one of the few times that he would openly admit himself that he clanged his way through a set!), its no wonder his Mum went out and bought him something new to play, and these were to be the first drum & bass vinyl records that Turno would own; 'Blandwagon Poo's' by John B and 'Torture Chamber' by Friction. These two records alone potentially part created the artist that we now have in Turno With his first 12” vinyl release back in 2011 on CKB’s label - Class A Recordingz. The aptly named ‘Dreams’ (B side - Eagles Claw) fast became hot property on the scene. Turno knew then that this was his mapped out path; his forte, and realised that maybe fate had a hand to play when dishing out the options at school. Since the release of Dreams, Turno has produced a variety of tunes, remixes and collaborated with MC’s and DJ’s in the drum & bass scene, who he only once dreamed about working with. These have included; Dominator, Logan D, Sly, Majistrate, Pasco, Levela, Jaydan, Annix, Dubmotion, Profile, Caski, Ruffstuff, Friller, Voltage, Stormin, Trigga, Spyda, Zedo, Fun, Skiba & Shabba - to name a few! With releases on Shadow Demon Records like ‘No Jokin’ feat. MC Trigga, Sly & Pasco feat. David Boomah ‘Bad up the town’ (Turno remix) and more recently released on Low Down Deep Recordings; a remix of Pasco’s ‘Release the Hounds’, it’s a no brainer why Turno is the new generation of sort after producers for old and new music heads alike.
