A Timeline of the Musical Journey of Biscits
Although his early days were marked by experimentation in the world of dubstep, growing up in the UK inherently gave Biscits heavy exposure to the world of house music. Coming up as a DJ in the UK means loads of opportunities, but also a fair amount of competition. Not only do you need to be skilled in order to stand out amongst your peers, but you have to impress a knowledgeable fan base.
“Some of the crowds can be quite critical,” Luke said during his Gray Area Spotlight interview. “You have to know what you’re doing, know whose songs are whose. Play the right song or the crowd will know you don't know what you're doing. It’s nerve wracking in that sense, but if you do well, people have a ton of respect for you and it can help get your name out early.”
Biscits is now one of the hottest names in tech house, releasing with major labels like Solotoko, Black Book, and Higher Ground. He recently signed a publishing deal with the legendary Ultra Records, a true sign that his future is bright. We’ve surveyed his career through the lens of his releases, exploring how the sound has changed from one year to the next.
