DJ

DVNT started DJing back in 2003 whilst at University. His interest then, was mainly in nuskool breaks and drum n bass & jungle. He has held residencies at T-Dance, Greenpeace Lincoln, and Eclectic Beats, as well as weekly residencies at The Attic and Bar Ingo of Lincoln as well as playing pretty much every venue in his Uni city. In 2007 he debuted at his first festival; Hamswell.

He’s a current regular at the fund-raising Oxjam gigs in Bristol, Brighton and Southampton organised between Out of the Void and Brap FM.

radio

MANTIS radio kicked off with DVNT at the helm in May 2007, and the last two years has seen DVNT develop the distinctive DJ sound best described as darkfloor electronica. DVNT’s sets combine elements of techno, electro, breaks, dubstep, glitch and ambient into a fresh and irresistable flow, with leanings towards the darker and deeper textures of electronic music.

Each MANTIS radio show has also featured guest showcases from established or up and coming producers. Previous guests have included Galaxian, Gunjack, Jerome Hill, Bushby, Paul Blackford, Concrete DJz and Si Begg amongst many others.

“DVNT’s extensive archive of past radio shows is well worth checking out for some storming darkfloor electronica action- High quality audio transmissions, right on the button.”

- Olaf Quintessa from Fresh Static

He’s had guest mixes aired on nsbradio, Resonance FM, and Pointblank FM.

All the radio shows are archived and podcasted, he’s always up for pushing unsigned talent, as well as supporting netaudio labels and producers.
