History
Sonar Zone was born out of a passion for electronic dance music, beginning back in 1994 when I became the very first signing to Evolution Gold Records, the pioneering label of DJ/producer Scott Brown. At the height of the Scottish rave scene, I released the Adrenalin EP and Sonar Eclipse EP, followed by Ballistic on the Best of Evolution Gold compilation. My tracks quickly gained recognition across the UK and the Netherlands, featuring on several European compilations.
After a break from the scene, I returned in 2010 with releases on PWM Records (Restoration and Vortex), and in 2011 signed to Fuzion Four Records with the Creation EP, followed by the Utopia Remixes EP and Renewal EP. Alongside my own music, I was also part of the management team for Darren Porter’s Reason//Rise record label, helping shape its direction and supporting other artists.
Today, my music is available worldwide on platforms like iTunes and Beatport, as I continue to carry forward the same energy and passion that launched Sonar Zone decades ago.
As well as producing some of the finest trance music on the scene, I have been playing guest DJ mixes on some of the nation’s top radio shows, appearing on favorites like , Club Educate with DJ John Gibbons, Taster Radio with Orla Feeney and Beatz Radio. Sonar Zone is also an honorary member of TrancefamilyUAE.
I regularly play at many big ticket events and I am gaining international recognition – having also be booked two years in a row for Detroit’s ‘Future Sound of Worship‘ event hosted by GodsDJs and also at CAYA night in Atlanta.
Also opened at a special ‘Movement Festival’ afterparty for the trance legend Kenneth Thomas at the famous Grasshopper Underground venue.
