Heist

1. Heist (other aliases include Strider) has been established as DJ for over thirteen years and started producing tracks five years ago. As a producer, he has released music on a variety of labels including MetalHeadz, Full Cycle, Co Lab, Digital Sound Boy, Creative Source, Intergral, Play Musik and Grid to name but a few. Continually delivering quality tunes, he has become one of the names to know in the industry and has impressed the likes of Goldie, Krust, TC, L Double and Sappo and many more. He expertly managed to balance his ever ambitious and superbly finished production projects while sticking to his first joy of DJing, playing out across the UK and Europe to an ever increasing fan base each and every time.

Heist is also coming into his own as a drum & bass personality of late with a variety of media coverage, showing he is one of the DJs pushing most into the public consciousness. This had included appearances in drum & bass literary mecca Knowledge Magazine where he created exclusive material for their ‘Studio Tips’ section as well as producing the front page featured mix CD for music industry favourite ATM magazine with hotly tipped MC Funsta. Other strong features that have been extremely well received by the public and industry alike are a massively popular D&BTV interview for multi award winning global drum & bass brand Drum&Bass Arena, from his very own studio as well as holding his own live on Ministry of Sound radio alongside Bryan G and BBC 1xtra with legendary Bailey. Having continual support and big ups from other industry and radio heavy weights such as Fabio and Grooverider, DJ Flight, Ray Keith and DJ Hype on his Kiss 100 FM show have cemented Heist’s place at the top of an ever burgeoning career.

Recently Heist has been working on a variety of new collaborations and remixes, perhaps making this stage in his vocation the most exciting and productive yet. These include a remix for perhaps one of the biggest legendary musicians from his day Ian Brown (of Stone Roses fame) called Illegal Attack. Other forthcoming material also in collaboration with Goldie, the godfather of drum&bass, are some new tracks for Rufige Kru, including a VIP mix of Is this Real which is holding onto its exclusivity by only being spun during Goldie’s sets.

With rumours of impending remixes and work with more of the industries finest, it’s definitely a good time to be Heist.
