DJ Vinny - Founder

Hi.  Welcome to my website.  I live in Norfolk/Suffolk.  A little bit about me:

I DJ’d vinyl for around 20years but gave up when I lost my passion for it. I played mainly Trance and house music at the time...all of the Ibiza classics.  I’ve played many clubs and events to a high standard.  Probably should have made a career out of it but messed up my chances.  This has always been a huge regret for me.

A few years ago I suffered an incredibly severe depression.  I've been battling with this now for some time.  A lot of people underestaimate how serious depression can be.  I was certainly one of those people, until one day something snapped in me and I went from being a super fit, socialble, confident, fit, healthy, professional guy to paralysed and fighting for my life.  l  cant really exhaggerate how dark that place was.  At my worst, it honestly felt to me like hell would actually be a nice break!!   Believe me  I tried everything imaginable to get some relief from it..... some good, and some, not so good!

During this time I pretty much lost everything. I had and hid myself away from the world more or less.  I had very nearly given up hope.  But that was before music finally came to my rescue.  One good thing to salvage from lockdown, seems it gave a  a lot of very talented music producers a bit of time on thier hands!!  All of a sudden some really great new music started to emerge.  I started to feel passion for the music again, but still my head was full of chaos.  Until I decided to buy a new set of decks and try mixing it.  All of a sudden I found that I could dissapear for an hour or 2 in the mix and think about nothing else.  

I found that DJing my favourite music was the only thing that could give me any relief.  So, now I want to promote music and DJ mixing as a source of therapy.  I can honestly say it saved my life, so pretty sure it can help save someone else.  I play progressive house, deep house and have been known to touch on a little liquid drum and bass.  I’m not aiming for the heavy rave kind of feel. More a relaxing melodic comforting sound but that puts you in a sunshine frame of mind..but equally still makes you want to dance all night.  Favourite artists right now - Camelphat, John Summit, Bicep, Tommy Farrow, Frank Wah, Tinlicker etc.  This genra has recently had a huge resurgence and is back on top of the music scene  

To be clear, this isn't a cure.  If you are suffering you need medication and professional help for that.  This is just a safe space where you can escpae your mind for a while!

Many thanks, Vinny.  😊
