Controlled Weirdness

Controlled Weirdness

Producer, DJ, label owner, and lifelong record collector with deep roots in club and sound system culture since the 1980s. Neil's journey began in nightclubs, gigs, and underground parties, where he honed his eclectic selection skills.

His extensive career spans performances in venues ranging from upscale clubs to raw warehouses, broadcasts on iconic London pirate radio stations, and appearances throughout Europe and beyond. In the early '90s, he promoted and played at groundbreaking rave events in the USA.

Today, Neil runs Presence Unknown, a vinyl and digital label showcasing Electro, Acid House, and Rave influences. His productions and remixes are crafted using a variety of analog and digital machines in his South London studio and are designed to be played loud on the finest sound systems. Recent vinyl releases appear on underground imprints like Cultivated Electronics, Marginal Returns, and AAJA.

Catch his fortnightly show 'Sonic Treasure' on Planet Wax: On-Air, where he continues his mission to play you amazing music that you have never heard before.
