Bio
From Kismet's first House night in his hometown on Hastings Pier, shortly followed by an all-night rave in '92 by Storm, he experienced an atmosphere like no other. Attending numerous raves such as World Dance, Dreamscape, Tazzmania and House nights including Renaissance and Clockwork Orange throughout the 90s, it would be a an unforgettable journey through the underground dance scene. In '94 Kismet went to Sheffield Hallam University where he met other DJs and began mixing vinyl. Kismet quickly discovered the underground dance scene in the North, attending House nights at legendary clubs such as The Hacienda and Gatecrasher. This helped define the primary genre for Kismet as a DJ, who fell in love with mixing House. Whilst at uni, Kismet worked behind the scenes at Sheffield Hallam Union, assisting with sound and lights for student nights but was mainly interested in DJing. He managed to get a resident DJ slot on the weekends at the student union, playing to sizeable crowds. He also had a brief spell on charity and pirate radio. During the mid to late 90s, he found the rave scene took a diverse split into different genres so held some House parties with two fellow DJs. The aim was to bring all the different genres together in a positive way. This venture started "Lighten Up! Promotions" which lead to many years doing professional discos and events. After a number of years away from the rave scene to concentrate on his family, Kismet was back, attending Raindance NYE in 2011. Shortly after, he was mixing again, this time using both vinyl and digital; recording studio sets. At an all-nighter in London summer 2016, he met DJs from London Pirate Radio. Little did he know a few months on this would lead to the start of Kismet’s radio career on LPR, playing House and Breaks and enjoying every minute of it! This has introduced great exposure as a DJ… more recently played at The Copper Box Arena, Olympic Park and looking forward to playing at a charity rave in Brighton Summer 2017.
