- Santero
UK Red Bull Thre3style Champion

- "Santero is one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the UK scene in recent years, with a rapidly growing discography, a new record label and the sort of skills behind the decks that saw him crowned UK Red Bull Thre3style champion in 2010"
London-based Santero started out cutting his teeth at legendary Nottingham nightclub The Bomb, initially as resident at one of the biggest club nights in the country, Detonate, spinning all manner of hip hop, reggae, funk & disco alongside legends like Jazzy Jeff & Grandmaster Flash. He was soon a regular on the Midlands circuit, and moved to Stealth as soon as that opened, with both a weekly and monthly residency there. Gradually he returned to the house music, taking hip hop's holistic approach and playing whatever tracks suited the tempo and feel of a set. Before long he was playing everywhere from Fabric to Gatecrasher, alongside such diverse artists as Diplo, Claude Vonstroke & Riva Starr.
In 2010 this grounding in musical open-mindedness paid off, beating the likes of Oneman & Martelo to become the UK Red Bull Thre3style Champion, returning the following year alongside DJ Yoda & Charlie Sloth to showcase and judge on the 2011 Thre3style tour.
2011 saw the launch of his record label Weird Science alongside regular studio partner Pete Jordan, which straight away garnered support from house legends such as Robert Owens & Etienne De Crecy amongst many others.
Santero is part of a new breed of talent emerging from the UK. With versatile skills across the board he is on track to make his mark on any dance floor and is poised to take 2012 by storm.

Club background
I began Djing back in 2002 as a hip hop resident in Nottingham, at Detonate at the bomb and Stealth. Playing alongside Jazzy Jeff, Grandmaster Flash, Ice T, Afrika Bambaata, The Roots, Estelle, Rahzel, Cash Money, Jeru The Damaja, Scratch Perverts, Craze, Beat Junkies, Roots Manuva, DJ Format and many more over 6 years. I gradually progressed into music with more of a house tempo and found myself playing at clubs like Ministry, Fabric, Proud2, Koko, Gatecrasher in Sheffield, Nottingham & Birmingham, Stealth, Cargo and more, alongside people like Annie Mac, Diplo, Boy 8-Bit, Claude Vonstroke, Toddla T.
The highlight of my career so far would be winning the 2010 UK Red Bull Threestyle championship, beating the likes of Oneman & Martelo in the final. I toured the UK with DJ Yoda and Charlie Sloth showcasing and judging for the 2011 competition
My dream DJ line-up to play alongside Justin Martin, Claude Vonstroke, Jesse Rose, Pearson Sound, Julio Bashmore - I'm really into that fusion of bass music with classic house.
