He started Solemusic in 1996 which evolved into one of the most respected contemporary dance music labels in he UK and continues to release cutting edge music that moves the world’s dancefloors. In this period due to his huge knowledge of music and the business of music he has consulted professionally for the likes of PIAS, Universal and most recently Console Sounds.

Ali Herron (OOFT! Music)

Ali Herron is one half of Glasgow duo OOFT! Music alongside Graeme Clark. Meeting through hanging about in local record stores and finding a shared passion in house, disco, 80s soul and more, they’ve been plying their trade for many years and have played in most of Scotlands clubs that matter, including the Sub Club (Glasgow), Snafu (Aberdeen), Cabaret Voltaire (Edinburgh) and The Reading Rooms (Dundee).

Never content with playing other peoples records, OOFT! were early adopters of the edit, fashioning their own exclusive versions of songs specifically for their own DJ sets. In time this would unwittingly propel them to the top of the “Edits” movement alongside Graeme’s solo works as The Revenge, whilst their penchant for pitch-down house sounds has also gained recognition through the current slo-mo craze.

As The Revenge has become increasingly in-demand both as a solo DJ and remixer, Ali has taken up more of the production reigns and regularly completes full productions under the OOFT! name, as well as taking OOFT! on the road throughout the UK to rock some of the best small clubs around with his wide-ranging and energetic sets.

For his Wednesday night residency Ali will be digging deep into his hefty record collection to bring Moskito the best in 70’s Funk, 80’s Soul, 90’s Hiphop and 00’s Electronica amongst other gems to keep the heads nodding and the drinks flowing.

 Ali will be playing tunes every Wednesday
