Hi, I'm Gareth Wyn and I'm a DJ Producer based in Brixton, South London. My sound is right across the board, mainly house, progressive, through to elements of trance and techno. I never class myself as a particularly genre, I just play electronic music that has a good groove going on!

I'm lucky enough to be a resident for Cream in Ibiza at the mighty Amnesia. I started DJing when I went to Cardiff University. My first student loan was spent on turntables and vinyl and I never looked back, I was hooked straight away, hanging out in record shops all day. I've also been producing now for over five years and I love it. I was classically trained as a kid, and that's been a massive help for me in the studio, making my own music.

I wanted to create a reflection of my live sets in this Essential Mix, so lots of energy, hands in the air, main room club music. There's loads of different styles, and the pace builds over the two hours, never standing still. I also wanted to showcase my own productions and remixes.

I've used a lot of upfront, brand new music from producers right across the world I'm into at the moment. It was tough making room for everything I wanted to include! I like funky, driving basslines and a good kick drum, so expect plenty of that. There's exclusives from my own label Beat That and new re-edits and tracks that I've made especially for this Essential Mix, so enjoy!
