Gareth-B

" Although I Champion underground house music I'm not into genre casts, I love house but love all music forms, so here you will find a "genre free zone", from dub to house, from full-on progressive to ambient, its about music after all, f8ck pigeonholing music, just enjoy it....".

A resident DJ on New Zealand's Tractor FM 88.2 , Gareth'B has been a well respected dj in the UK / European house scene since the early 90's  his adventurous style and proven ability to read the dance floor has given him the accolade of being a Dj's Dj and never fails to add excite and add bite to his mixes.

Inspired by legendary DJ Lindsey Martin, Gareth'Bs djing journey started off playing at the original UK wibble nights and one of Crossway's residents, Gareth'B has mixed alongside and supported some of the great world Dj's and enjoys the intimacy and flavour of mixing as close as possible to the dance floor. 

Gareth'B's speciality mashing of genres is widely aknowledged from house in all its mad forms from deep & progressive to tech and electro but dropping samples from the roots of soul/funk . Born from the Thatcher dominated UK in the80's Gareth-B built his music tastes from funk classics such as isaac hayes,Rick James,george clinton and his sets are influences from some of best Dj's around such as Dj Jim "shaft" Ryan - (Miss moneypenny's founder) and nick warren (way out west).

His mixes are currently influenced with work from Marcelo Castelli (Muzik xpress), Roland Clark, chic Miniature , alex kenji, dennis ferrera, doomwork and sebo'k

Since leaving the UK and europe in 2001, Gareth'B has settled into the groove of New Zealand, setting up a recording studio in the coolest surf town on the planet - Raglan, pumping out his wicked house sessions on NZ's funky'n phat radio station -Tractor FM 88.2.
