While living and working in China, Simon was so disturbed by the lack of quality music in clubs that he started playing it himself. After moving back to New Zealand he discovered his friends had also developed a passion for house and techno music and got together to promote a series of parties and club nights with a focus on quality music and DJ's unwilling to compromise their musical tastes.

Simon first came to Berlin in 2004 to play gigs in various clubs, including a set at the original Tresor. He returned to play New Years Eve 2005, and made the move to Berlin permanently in 2006. The unique party culture and the vast array of musical expression in the city are a huge inspiration to any artist and Simon is no exception. You can often find him dancing near the front of the club until the last record spins!

Simon has been producing music since 2003 and continues to push his sound in new directions. Influenced by house, techno and minimal, it would be difficult to put his music into any one category, but his tracks always have both feet on the dance floor, an irresistible groove and a unique mix of samples and sounds. As a DJ Simon plays a bionic, club moving mix of tech house, techno, and house, full of subtle musical hooks and crunchy percussion. His innate ability to program a set from peak time tunes to rolling grooves never fails to keep dancers on their toes.

Since joining Highgrade Records in 2008 as a permanent member of the artist family and booking roster, Simon has played all over the world, from Paris to Dublin, Switzerland to Melbourne, Auckland to Amsterdam. In Berlin he has rocked the floors of Panorama Bar, Watergate, Arena, Bar 25 and every other notable night spot in the city. He continues to release music with Highgrade Records, District of Corruption and Nordik Net, while finding time in 2010 to produce remixes for a wide range of other labels and artists. Simon says: See you in the future!
