Biography
As a professionally minded DJ, Rory considers himself to be organized, well motivated and reliable. His devotion to trance music naturally evolved into DJing, which he has been doing since May 2000. Rory’s music style is mainly hard trance and hardstyle, but with elements of funky and acid techno incorporated into his sets. He is able to play a mixture of funky / acid techno warm up sets or blinding hard trance / hardstyle sets, depending on the crowd and the music policy of the venue. He takes his DJing career very seriously and treat it in an enthusiastic and energetic manner, and feels he has the experience and ambition to succeed. Rory presents himself very well, as he thinks this is very important in being taken seriously. His main DJing influences are Claudio Pettinance (SHOKK), Daniel Heinzer (Flutlicht) and Samuel Skrbinsek (The Gladheadz).
