Slateford

Originally from the North West of England, Slateford developed his sound whilst studying at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. Edinburgh’s dance music scene started his passion with venues such as Sneaky Pete’s and Cabaret Voltaire playing an important role in introducing him to house and garage, and the more minimal side of club music, ultimately shaping the sound he has continued to develop. Since then, Slateford has played across Edinburgh and Glasgow, including sets at Stereo, Cabaret Voltaire and People’s Leisure Club, as well as opening a pre-party for Julian Fijma. Through Heriot-Watt’s DJ Society, he has also been involved in events alongside artists including Jubel, and since graduating has started focusing more on the production side of the music. His sets focus on deep garage and minimal house, blending rolling basslines, funky percussion and influence from old school garage with a stripped back, groove focused approach to mixing. Slateford is continuously developing his own productions, including his track “Miss My Luv", while continuing to build his sound and presence within the underground scene.
