AFFA... AFFA... AFFIRMATION !!! BIOS:
Affirmation is UK based DJ, Producer and Graphics Designer specializing in rave culture. With ov
er 12 years on the circuit, Affa (as his friends call him) works hard behind the scenes and is just as well known for his contributions designing promo graphics for brands, as he is for his DJ skills. A ruthless and efficient DJ, he's snared mulitple DJ competition wins
along his journey leading to opportunities and residencies across the country. He's also made his stamp on the scene with his productions,
with a string of releases on Labels such as Deep In the Jungle - Noxious Recordings - Grand Theft Audio - Propa Talent - Boomslang Recordings, Mutant Species, Distorted Records and Free The Mind. Highlights have been winning DJ RAPS Saviour remix competition and snaring some high charting material with DOUBLE XP hitting no.1 in the Juno charts across all genres!! Alongside a string of high charting free downloads on the hypeddit chart. His release on Boomslang also caught some heat, cracking the BEATPORT top 10 and featuring on BBC radio. Supporting countless huge names along the way Affirmation has NOT JUST graced the flyer with legends BUT literally passed/received the decks from huge stars such as Aphrodite,Micky Finn, Nicky Blackmarket, Slipmatt, Hazard, Skeptikal, Ragga Twins, Fudalwokit, Twisted Individual, Aries, Kenny Ken, The Geezer, Nookie, Saxxon, Conrad Subs, TNA,
Seba, Limited (to list a few) and even ran sets with Legends like Jayline, Nutcracka, Fearless, ACMC, Starz & Deeza, MY BAD SISTER
and many more. Cutting his teeth 19 years ago at the infamous Brains-Kan free parties and other such nefarious events, he fully fell in love with the culture and never looked back. Affa (as his friends call him), picked up the flavour for Djing in his late teens and throughout his early 20's mastered the art mixing vinyl and then digital djing respectively. Previously known for being a bit of a freespirit and a clown, he didn't take things too seriously until 2012 when something inside just clicked. Fast forward 13 years and he's relentlessly climbed tooth and nail from doing warmup sets to playing mainstages, festivals and headlining shows across the country. Growing a lot over the years, one thing that's never changed is that no matter the size of the crowd Affirmation always gives 110%. Over the last decade he's built up fearsome reputation as a technically gifted, versatile and ruthless DJ. A real wizard on the decks....he brings a high octane and passionate performance, full of lot's energy and lot's of sweat hahaha! All jokes aside, with an impressive portfolio of bookings, infectious attitude and high octane performance guaranteed AFFIRMATION is the one to book. Affirmation Dj
