Biography

Andy Bagguley has Trance Revolution written all over him and in more ways than one. As resident DJ of the UK's highest profile clubs - 'Passion' - Andy spends his evenings providing the weekend soundtrack to the dedicated followers of Passion and his days helping to promote and organise Passion, regularly bringing in the freshest talent and highest profile artists from the UK and internationally.

Still only at the age of 27, Andy has created his own demand through his relentless determination yet laid back friendly attitude which has caught the attention of the music industry and its fans and taken him as a guest DJ to many of the UK's leading events including The Gallery, Serious, Goodgreef, Slinky and Crasher amongst others.

Andy is also the owner of UK label, Instant Music which provides a platform for Andy's solo productions and other up'n'coming as well as well established artists. Andy has seen good support from many of the top jocks globally for his productions whilst remixes for & collaborations with Matt Darey, Riley & Durrant, Factoria, Mike Koglin, JFK, Airbase and others are paving the way for Andy's development as one of the UK's key dance music contributors. Andy has also produced with World Record holder Genix under the name of "Oracle" which saw their first 2 productions well supported by many DJ's.

Looking to the future it's an exciting time for Andy. Whilst assisting Marc West in what many clubbers across the globe would call 'The Dream Job', Andy's obvious studio talent is beginning to catch the eye of key A&R men, artists and clubbers alike.
