Overview
Korey is a Cambridge, UK DJ and producer whose music moves between house, techno, Detroit and Chicago influences, melodic electronics, and heavier club records without being tied to one formula. His interest in electronic music developed primarily through nights out in London rather than through his hometown.
Cambridge had a limited house scene while he was growing up, so trips into the capital became an important part of his musical education. fabric played a particularly important role. During one night in Room 2, Korey turned to a friend on the dance floor and told him that DJing was what he wanted to do. A later set from Rossi. at the club pushed that interest further, convincing Korey to take production seriously and begin making his own music.
Rossi. became one of the most important early influences on his career, alongside Bicep, whose music Korey listened to heavily between the ages of 17 and 20. Those influences helped introduce him to different sides of electronic music, but his own production eventually became less concerned with fitting into one sound. Rather than building his catalog around a single genre, Korey has become comfortable moving between harder club music, melodic records, and more emotional material depending on what comes naturally in the studio.
That flexibility also carries into his DJ sets. Korey has described himself as a committed record digger with a particular interest in Detroit and Chicago house, while his USB contains hundreds of his own unreleased productions, edits, remixes, and alternate versions. BPM and subgenre matter less to him than whether a record works on a dance floor. His sets regularly combine familiar tracks with less obvious selections, with the intention of introducing audiences to records they may not have heard before.
One of the first major turning points in his production career came with “Steps,” released through Rendr Records. Korey credits the track with putting his music in front of established DJs and artists he had followed himself. His releases have since received support from names including Rossi., Chris Stussy, Joseph Capriati, Marco Carola, Flashmob, Archie Hamilton, and Sidney Charles. His catalog also includes “Favelas” on Box Red, releases through MicroHertz and Heavy House Society, and an official remix of Street Tuff.
His touring experience has expanded alongside his releases. Korey has performed at venues and events including Cova Santa, Input Club Barcelona, 93 Feet East, Milan Open Air, and Nexup. Career highlights include supporting Archie Hamilton in Barcelona, making his Ibiza debut at Cova Santa for Heavy House Society, and joining Flashmob in Milan for a crowd of more than 2,000 people. Playing outside the UK has also influenced the way he DJs, encouraging him to broaden his music knowledge and adapt to different rooms without losing his own taste as a selector.
His relationship with Rossi. has developed from influence into mentorship and collaboration. He has publicly highlighted Korey as one of his favorite young producers in the UK and has spent time helping him develop his records in the studio. For Korey, having an experienced artist support the full range of music he makes has reinforced his decision not to limit himself creatively. Fittingly, when asked which DJ he would most want to play back to back with, his answer was simply Rossi.
In the studio, Korey avoids forcing a particular direction. Some periods may be focused on heavier records, while others lean more melodic or emotional. He judges whether a track is ready through a combination of crowd reaction, testing it in clubs, and instinct. That same mindset has kept his output broad as he continues developing as both a producer and DJ.
For Korey, the dance floor remains the central reference point. It was where he first decided he wanted a career in music, where he tests his own productions, and where much of his musical taste continues to develop. Whether playing his own unreleased material, digging through house records, or moving between styles during a set, his focus remains on finding music that earns a reaction in the room.
