Barry Gilbey
Country: United Kingdom


THE OUTLINE: When house music was born in the late 80s DJs didn't play just one sound. The concept of a techno DJ, a progressive DJ or a funky house DJ didn't exist. DJs played a broad spectrum of ass-shaking sounds that rocked dancefloors. It's playing that broad spectrum that makes Barry Gilbey an amazing DJ.
DJ-ING: With a sound that includes everything from deeper house grooves to techno and breaks, most weekends you'll find him playing underground music to packed dancefloors from Moscow to Kuala Lumpur and Delhi to Krakow.
"I travel all over the world every weekend, playing my own and others' amazing music to thousands of happy faces. Its a privilege to be able to travel to places hungry to hear new music and see the diverse range of people who come out to hear me play. Whether I'm in Siberia or Singapore the people are surprisingly similar & they just want to have a good time and I try my hardest to give it to them."
With regular mixes appearing on London's Kiss FM, Ireland's 2FM and Manchester's Key 103 and a full DJ schedule in coming months, covering all seven continents, make sure you catch one of his electric sets.
