[edit] Biography

Christopher Don also known as Donny, started writing music “to kill time and have a laugh.” Originally the drummer of a friend’s band, Donny’s early interest in grooves, drum rolls and musical percussion progressed into a love for drum & bass and electronic music production. An investment in studio-equipment and a dedication to sound design, saw his first 12-inch single Medievil Beating / Hide & Seek[1] on Mindrush Recordings released in early 2006.

July 2006 saw Donny sign The Forgotten[2] to Barcode Recordings, later to be remixed by Current Value on their Evil Has A Name[3] EP, which continued his success, and was followed by extensive touring and DJ work around the world.
