About Worky

Guaranteed to make you dance with over a decade of experience setting dance floors alight in venues such as The Arches, Sub Club & SWG3!
DJ
Glasgow

Having started DJing publicly by running my own club nights around Glasgow in 2009 I have since held multiple weekly & monthly residencies at Stereo, Club520, The Buff Club & Broadcast as well as supporting acts as varied as Booka Shade, Nightmares on Wax, DJ EZ, Easy Life, Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip & Beardyman (to name a very small selection) in some of Glasgows other world renowned venues such as The Arches, Sub Club, SWG3 & St. Lukes leading to a reputation as one of the most versatile & technically gifted DJs the city has to offer. On top of my extensive club experience I've also played in bars, restaurants, hotels, summer festivals, roller discos & various private functions from birthdays to weddings & leaving parties to office parties! so you are in safe hands regardless of the venue or occasion. I pride myself on my knowledge of music from across the decades and my ability to read a room & use my technical mixing skills to seamlessly jump between multiple different genres and build a great party atmosphere for any crowd giving you an event to remember! I'm currently available to DJ for events around the UK & Europe.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

my tune selection and ability to mix seamlessly between genres and create a party atmosphere.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Stereo, La Cheetah, Club520, The Garage, The Arches, Sub Club, The Buff Club, Eden Festival, Hideout Festival, Broadcast, The Berkley Suite, Drygate, Saint Lukes, SWG3, Electric Fields Festival, Nice n Sleazys, QMU, The Art School, O2 ABC

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Four Tet Optimo 2ManyDJs/Soulwax Erol Alkan Deadmau5 Daft Punk

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Tough one, probably between headlining a tent at Electric Fields after Noel Gallagher had finished on the main stage or headlining the playroom in The Arches for Cyril Hahns sold out tour.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely! I offer this service for free from the time of setting up until the end of my set time. If you'd like the playlist until the venue closes I can provide this service for upto 2.5 hours for an additional £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

I am able to plug in and play within 5 minutes of arriving if everything is already set up. If I am required to set up my own equipment or PA system I would usually need 1 to 1.5 hours.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My sets are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best but I will always discuss music policy and specific requests beforehand and i'm adept and handling requests on the fly so if I have a tune already downloaded that is requested during the event I'll do my best to play it to ensure you and your guests have an amazing time.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I am able to provide my own decks & DJ mixer for an additional fee of £125. I can also hire PA system at discounted rates and add the cost onto my quote if the venue has none or you cannot provide a PA system.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I always discuss music policy & specific requests before the event and will do my best to have any tunes or genres covered. *it may not always be possible to find a good quality version of a tune to play but I will always go out of my way to find anything requested.
