Using Ableton For Djing initially, But soon hopefully for my own Productions aswell. I've built up a good reputation over the past 4-5 years generally for the Dj side of things, And i think a key factor in my reputation is the amount of online promotion i cover not just for my event Come Up. But when i'm also Djing & promotiong for other nights i'm playing on, I dont like to name drop too much, but i am proud to play support to some of my idols and just damn right quality dj's such as, Speedy J, Fergie ,Perc, Axel Karakasis, Ben Sims, Audiojack, Paulo Mojo, Pedro Delgardo and many more... My style is based around the many sub genres of Minimal, House & Techno, I try to put the styles together and build up my sets with consistent progression, I'm very much into being on the dancefloor myself and take as much inspiration from the Dj's i see, From the worlds best, to new stars, I try to take it all in and re create it in my style of Techno. My mixes are available at: http://soundcloud.com/cush Please contact me on cush.leah@blueyonder.co.uk For bookings & promo assistance.. Cheers Cush.
