Brought up attending festivals from the age of 6 months old and loading sound systems into venues from age 15, Somatic has been immersed in late-night dancing culture from an early age. Initially training as a percussionist Somatic is led by rhythm and visceral bass. Cross-pollinating in his sets is unavoidable, from 808 drum machines with Middle eastern percussion & Electro with Classical Indian Raag’s, Somatic is part of a generation of DJ’s who don’t see the boundaries of genres.
He’s style has taken him to perform at festivals like Glastonbury & Boomtown, in Indian cities Bangalore & Mumbai, he works as one of Mr Scruffs Sound Engineers, is part of the Daytimers collective, holds down a monthly residency on Subtle Radio and has cultivated an avid following for his sell out “Dance Against Racism” event series that he runs with his mum in Exeter.
Scenes are nothing without history, community and culture and as such Somatic has been proud to perform for, curate and support the Windrush In Devon group and the sound artist pathway for South West Music School.
