Bio
Having been influenced by many different genres in almost 20 years DJing, Braaks brings a unique blend of Deep/Minimal House, Techno, Garage, Afro, Leftfield & Electronica Braaks's unique style is a result of his many influences through the years. It all started in 1985. From a young age, Braaks was lucky enough to be surrounded by people with a passion for music. From birth, his parents used to take him to the annual Notting Hill Carnival in London and this was where his initial passion was ignited. Initially it was Reggae and Dancehall music, but in the mid 90s a new and exciting sound started emerging which was the beginning of a new era for Braaks... U.K. Garage. At the age of 15 he got his first set of records decks and he never looked back. It was the year 2000 and the soulful, and deeper garage that he knew and loved started to take back seat for a newer, edgier, moodier and darker sound which slowly morphed into Grime. As Grime started overshadowing the true Garage sound, Braaks started to open his eyes to different sounds emerging in the underground scene influenced by DJs and Artists such as Benji B, Alexander Nut, and Simbad. Fast forward to present day, Braaks now has a unique sound blending elements of Deep/Minimal House, Techno, Garage, Afro, Leftfield & Electronica
