Ted O'Shay has been wowing the dance scene with his blend of
uplifting and filthy trance since 2002. His career has seen him
playing all around the UK catering for venues of all sizes alongside
some of the top DJ's in the world. He has also embarked on promoting
3 independent nights "Rubbish 'N' Bollox", "Tranzition" and more
recently "The Dog's Balearics" - which saw the event streaming live
from the venue via the website to approximately 5000 visitors a
night. Ted O'Shay has also played a range of festivals with the most
notable of them being WillFields (to approximately 500 people) and
Gloucestershire Pride (to approximately 2000 people), with bigger
festivals in the pipe-line. Ted O'Shay also produces his own tracks,
which gives him a deeper understanding to the music styles and
journey he embarks on as part of his sets. Each set is tailored to
the night, taking clubbers on a journey through some of the hardest,
darkest, bass-driven filthy trance there is on the planet. However,
Ted O'Shay also DJ's electro and funky house. 2013 see's Ted O'Shay
travelling to Ibiza during the summer to play Judgement Sundays and
embark on a new night, so worldwide bookings available throughout
the year.
Heralded as one of the pioneers of bringing dirty
underground trance back into to the city night-life at a
time when commercial clubs were playing inoffensive,
unchallenging please-all styles of music, Ted O'Shay has
come on leaps and bounds since the early days. Inspired by a
Night run by Cream in Liverpool, the dream to bring the
style of music where no limits apply, where people can be as
free as they want to be and bringing a festival atmosphere
into the commercial scene was born.
Producer
Ted O'Shay has been producing trance tracks since 2002 with
the biggest successes coming since 2007. With tracks being
played world-wide by some of the top DJ's, Ted's productions
are well received where-ever they are played. Ted's Biggest
tracks to date are "I Shot Calvin" (featured on a game
hosted by Facebook), a remix for Igness' "Sonar" (supported
by DJ's including Paul Van Dyk), "Frenzy" (The theme to the
night The Dog's Balearics), Hefty (supported world-wide by
Christopher Lawrence and hitting number 4 on the TrackItDown
charts) and most recently "'#Choon!" which reached number 1
on the TrackItDown charts and featured on trance.fm a couple
of times. Ted is also embarking on vocal trance projects,
releasing a track called "Music For The Night People" later
on in 2013 with Ed Payne.
Ted has also been commissioned for high profile remixes,
including Petey James, Laura Brown, DJ Mash-Up and most
notably for Ignes' track "Sonar" - which was supported
around the world by Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Burren and John
O'Callaghan.
DJ
Debuting at a small club night to 50 people in 2002, times
have changed since deciding to DJ. Playing alongside a whole
host of known DJs and creating a dance outfit called The
Deck Whores (a group of local DJs collaborating to help with
the challenge of bringing trance back into a world lead by
RnB) establishing Tranzition - filling a void that was left
many years ago when the urban train came to town. Ted then
went on to develop this night in to The Dog's Balearics and
took it on tour, seeing packed out venues enjoying the Ibiza
vibe. Ted continues to play for crowds of many sizes. The
goal is not to stop until he has played Global Gathering,
CreamFields and completed his residency in ibiza - and by
then, there will be new challenges and goals to achieve!
Fidget Factory Records
Established in 2007 alongside Tranzition as a platform to
promote Ted's productions, Fidget Factory is the independent
record label set up designed to provide the nastiest and
filthiest side of dance music to the world. The label
continues to grow year on year, with new signings also
seeing the spotlight.
