🔥 NEW MIX ALERT – Rogue Deep ’25 🔥

After years in the shadows, I’ve finally hit record on a new.

Rogue Deep ’25 is a hypnotic dive into melodic and progressive house — cinematic, darker, and deeper than ever before. Expect shimmering remixes, euphoric builds, and that late-night energy where emotion meets rhythm.

🎧 Featuring reworks from Robin Schulz, Empire Of The Sun, Boys Noize, Ferry Corsten, CamelPhat, Swedish House Mafia, and more.

💀 Welcome back to the Rogue State. The depths have never sounded this good.

Still glowing from this amazing wedding party in mid-August! ☀️🎶

Set on a stunning equestrian estate in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, this outdoor celebration had it all:
💒 Secret ceremony
🕺 A dancefloor full from start to finish
💖 Touching family tributes
🌅 Glorious weather

The bride and groom kicked things off with an incredible playlist:
🎛️ 80s electro-disco (‘Enola Gay’)
💃 Latin & pop with Gloria Estefan and Taylor Swift
🍻 And yes — ‘Combine Harvester’ by The Wurzels brought the house (marquee) down!

Huge thanks and congratulations again to the newlyweds — and everyone who brought the energy and love to the dancefloor.

🎶 What a Month! A Quick DJ Life Recap...
From kids’ parties to sold-out indie gigs, it’s been a wild few weeks behind the decks 👇

🎸 April kicked off with a sold-out indie disco supporting Calaveras and Liam Foster at Portsmouth's iconic The Wedgewood Rooms. I played a 3-hour genre-hopping set from The Libertines to Talking Heads and caught up with loads of familiar faces. Absolute energy all night. 💥 (Setlist drop coming soon!)

🎈 Then it was a total switch-up — DADDY DJ mode activated for my daughter’s 3rd birthday 🎂 Playing mini-disco bangers and lighting up Wallington Village Hall for a party full of balloons, giggles and sugar highs! 😬

🇬🇧 Just last week, I had the huge honour of playing a VE Day 80 tribute set at Broadlaw Community Centre, featuring wartime swing, original radio broadcasts, and a very moving community tea party with veterans. A total privilege 🙏

🔒 I’ve also secured private bookings and I’m currently on the lookout for a weekly residency for the summer 🌞 — think house, disco, good vibes and cold drinks in a pub garden or terrace. DM me if you're a venue owner or promoter and let's chat!

📸 Loads of content to come, so keep your eyes peeled for setlists, videos and maybe even a few surprises. Thanks to everyone who’s danced, booked, or supported me so far in 2025 — it means the world! 💜

– Chris

🔥 My Old Mixtapes Are Back! – And New Ones Are Coming in 2025 🔥

Let’s rewind to 2013 – my first-ever recorded mix, A Rough Guide to Rogue, where my journey from rock & indie roots into the underground rave & club scene began. This mix still holds a special place in my heart, and it’s the perfect way to hear where it all started. 🎶✨
