Biography

After smashing into the UK House & Garage club circuit, DJ NG has captured his ever-growing following through his influential sounds and ambitious mixing style.
Summing up his sound and style as ‘URBANCE’ (a cross between ‘urban’ and ‘dance’ music styles), NG’s production-work has been played by the likes of some of the UK’s leading DJ’s on London’s Kiss 100 and BBC’s Radio 1Xtra. His ever-growing support has been gratified by the long awaited release of his first in a series of mix compilations.
NG’s mixing techniques and selections incorporate a vast array of his musical influences picked up through his life long education with sound and his daily journeys. With his inspirations ranging from many forms of urban music down to electro-acoustic (art)
music, it has given him the motivation to explore new sounds, unafraid to ease new styles of music to his listeners within his eclectic sets.
With ties to many producers up and down the country, NG has managed to obtain a vast display of exclusive personalised dub-plates, this helping him hold a diverse and at many a time, exclusive selection within his club and radio sets.

DJ’ing at a young age, his involvement with UK Garage came about through his friends introducing him to the un-commercialised sound of London’s pirate radio / the underground scene. Originally going under various names prior to “NG”, his first influences came about through his fixation to pirate radio stations such as:
Raw Fm 90.0, Magic 90.2, Mission 90.6, Upfront 99.3…
It was stations like these that educated NG about the latest ‘House and Garage’ sounds and raves which were the hype of their time. From here, NG’s skills started to advance and he started to receive bookings through friends and up and coming promoters both at small clubs and ram-jammed house/hall parties across London in ‘98/’99.With this small collection of events under his name, he got in contact with an up & coming S.E. London Pirate who took a liking to his 60min TDK demo. From here, he went on to hold a secure prime time set, building a respectable reputation for himself where he could display his mixing skills and his fresh exclusive selection.
After two solid years of dedication to this station, NG formed the urban music collective ‘SOUNDSQUAD’ which gave him a commendable status as one of the top UKG DJ’s within the Midlands’s university towns and cities. Following the duration that SOUNDSQUAD were performing collectively, NG’s recognition grew stronger with his invites/interviews as a guest DJ on a variety of radio shows nationwide.
Currently, NG has joined the force behind one of London’s elite community radio stations: Y-2-K (90.6 fm) – the station that spawned BBC 1xtra’s notorious Heartless Crew during its time as Mission 90.6 Fm.
NG has appeared alongside the likes of the UK’s industry superiors and is set to take scene to a higher, globally recognised level. With his eyes on the next ‘UK People’s Choice awards’ (2005), NG’s looks to stamp his contributions into the award books by his unstoppable dedication to the music world.
