BIO :

Throughout the years Timmy has proven you don’t need to think inside one genre to keep people on the dance floor. Playing across the board with breaks, house, techno, garage, drum ‘n’ bass, electro, booty bass, hip hop and downbeat, Timmy has kept the dance floors heaving for over 18 years. Over 18 years of undying service, smashing clubs, festivals and radio transmitters apart with his fearsome mixing skills and secret artillery of hot tunes. To this day, Timmy’s maxim remains the same : consistent shows, flowing sets, uncompromising selections and responsive playing for the crowd.

Timmy has achieved some land marks in his time such as…

Pioneering the sound of breakbeat in NZ. One of the first DJ’s in Aotearoa to push the sound.

Releasing a number one top selling anthem on Aquasky’s Passenger Records which received plays as wide as trance master Graham Gold and DK (Ninja Tunes Solid Steel Radio Show) as well as the big players in breakbeat such as The Freestylers and Jody Wisternoff from Way Out West. “What’s Down Low” by Baitercell and Schumacher still continues to move units to this day as one of Passengers biggest selling tunes of all time.

Being handpicked to attend the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy representing NZ in London in 2002.

Gallantly holding down long standing radio shows over the years on George Fm with 'Dirty Listening', 'Beat Freaks' on Auckland institution 95 bFM and currently Timmy is proud to be part of the UPFM juggernaut, bringing freshness and upfront electronic music to airwaves on his Thursday Sonic Drive slot from 4- 6pm.

Playing to massive numbers in the Boiler Room at BDO, playing support for the Chemical Brothers to 4000 people at North Shore Stadium and rocking it to over 10,000 thousand sun baked beat freaks on three occasions at the bFM Summer Series. All this plus support for such acts as Adam Freeland, Freq Nasty, Rennie Pilgrem, The Freestlyers, Stanton Warriors, Krafty Kuts, Tayo, Breakfastaz, Aquasky and even Moby!

Brocking out heaving slabs of vinyl on such globally respected labels as Rocstar, Broke, Pure Filth, Resin, Ape, Funkatech, Passenger and DJ Icey's Zone Records. Add to this a string of hot remixes for : Fast Crew, Savage, Resin Dogs, Aquasky, Minuit, Katchafire and Supergroove.

Forging on with an album under his belt (The Wall of Bass Technique) Timmy has plenty of exciting new material and collaborations in the pipeline with a focus on his imminent debut solo long player. Expect a broad spectrum sound clash of breaks, booty stylings, bassline house, grinding electro and big room downbeat.Watch this space!
