SIMON PITT
First listening to Acid House/Rave music around 1991 through various tape packs like Helter Skelter and Dreamscape, Simon always had a fascination with electronic music and gained interest in it and its emerging genres through the 90s. Enter 1997 and Simon starts collecting records and grabbing every chance he can get to get his hands on decks, the next 4 years are spent mixing tapes, collecting records and finding his own sound whilst being influenced by the raves he attended religiously each week. Simon was given his first set in 2001 at UK Superclub Dance Academy, Building a reputation with his own style of turntablism, his ability to read the crowd and his energetic stage presence meant it would not be long before Simon was a regular feature in the main room and later resident playing on tours from Mixmag, Serious, Lashed, Goodgreef and more alongside some of the biggest names of the era. Between 2003 and 2004 Simon would go on to co-create and run club nights Premonition and later his own brand Eternal. Finally 2005 gives birth to his biggest venture yet Electra, which becomes his own Artist Management, Record Label and Promotions Company managing some of the Worlds best producers and DJs including Fred Baker, Danjo & Styles, Joop and many more. Electra has become the brand most associated with Simon through his own worldwide Electra Radio show and Events. This year Electra Recordings has been launched with its first release expected in October and future releases including Simons own productions. In 2005 Simon also joined the Dutch DJ Agency to manage his bookings Worldwide while having his own company Electra handle his UK bookings, this Agency also looks after bookings for Dumonde, Alex Gold, Les Hemstock, Yves Deruyter, Jochen Miller, Ernesto & Bastian, Svenson and more. Over the years Simon has developed his own unique sound, which can only be called Simon Pitt style! It pulls influences from Trance, Techno, Tech-Trance, Prog, Big Beat, Breakbeat and more which is why you cant pin a genre to his name, he simply embodies the whole electronic dance movement taking inspiration from all forms of music and there own energy to create his own sound, sorting through hundreds of releases each month to find the music which defines him the most. Over the years Simon has played events such as Gatecrasher, Passion, The Bridge, Claires, Lakota, Barracuda, The Grove, Tranzaction, Tall Trees, Candystore, Religion and many more playing with some of the worlds leading DJs like Judge Jules, Marco V, Agnelli & Nelson, Benny Benassi, JFK, John Kelly, Mark Norman, Dan Bailey, Cor Fijneman, BK, Patrae Foy, Lisa Lashes, Adam Sheridan, Randy Katana, Mark EG, Proteus, M-Zone, Yoji Biomehanika, Anne Savage, Rob Tissera, Marc Vedo, Scott Mac, Shwarze Puppen, Tidy Boys, Paul Kershaw, Don Diablo, Sophie Sugar, Uberdruck, The Crow, Tara Reynolds, Flutlicht, Charlotte Birch, Trance Generators, Brisky, Lee Haslam, Scott Brown, Hixxy, DJ Sy and many more.
