Korruptor is Gareth Noyce, an English born DJ currently residing in Dundee, Scotland. Having grown up surrounded by the sounds of late 70s Disco and early 80s synth-pop, electronica and dance have always featured heavily in his musical library. After having his ears turned by the acid house sound, K took the plunge and began DJing on a friends setup in the early 90s, during the tail end of the South Coast Rave scene. His early sound was a rush-bound mix of hard house, euro-trance and Goa, which he played for numerous local parties. Living in the middle of a vibrant club-scene on the South Coast meant his musical tastes soon shifted and the more progressive, house sounds - championed by the likes of Ian Ossia, Len-E 9, Smoking Jo, Billy Nasty, Digweed and of course, Sasha - started to heavily influence what he listened to and played out during the latter part of the 90s. Despite the roller coaster changes and splits in house sounds over the years, K keeps returning to the progressive vibe, be it break laced, acid fueled or tech edged and his live sets often reflect his tastes over the years - wandering across genres and tempos as the night dictates. Since early 2004 K’s embraced the digital revolution and concentrated solely on programming quality music for sharing online. His sets have featured on several internet radio broadcasts, this year including AntiFMRadio in New York and most recently, the growing Bounce Beats and thanks to increasing popularity he’s relaunched the RK2 podcast as an exclusive channel for his mixes. With his recent move from CDs to Ableton, K’s love for music has been given a new lease of life; “With so many good artists and producers around, now really is the best time to be a DJ. I’m constantly finding new DJs & mixes that excite me, artists and tracks that inspire… Having the ability to explore sounds and ideas absolutely anywhere - as long as there’s juice in my laptop and headphones in my bag - really makes mix programming more enjoyable than ever.”
