Brad 212 Finlay
 


the dj
- the story so far

 

 

Pumpin' US house grooves, sometimes soulful and sometimes with a dirty edge, from one of the emerging new talents on the London house scene. Canadian-born Brad 212 Finlay has played at nearly all of London's major venues and received praise from clubbers and his fellow DJs alike. He currently holds a residency with UP^^, playing regularly at Turnmills and Ministry of Sound. Before that, he was a regular at City Loud at Turnmills and warmed up for CJ Mackintosh, Joey Negro, Danny Rampling, DJ Gregory, Bob Sinclair, Tim Deluxe and Lee-Cabrera, as well as following Junior Jack & Kid Creme back in January. More recently, Brad has joined the likes of Felix da Housecat and Dmitri from Paris at Neighbourhood, and is a favourite at The White House in south London.

On the international front Brad has also played at Supermarket in Zurich, one of Switzerland's leading clubs, and on regular trips back to his native Toronto can be found behind the decks. With his production career slowly taking shape and a busy DJ diary, Brad is one to watch.

WHAT HE SAYS...

"My style is always funky but it's chunky and pumpin', ballsy if you like - it's main room, main set kind of house. It's party music but with soulful undertones."


WHAT THEY SAY...

"Brad’s played a few times for me at Neighbourhood and has always smashed it, a natural talent and definitely one of the few younger DJs out there who will make it. Just don’t feed him more than 5 double tequilas before he plays."
Nikki Gordon, Neighbourhood & Cherry Jam


“The Toronto-born DJ played the biggest set of his career tonight and ripped the dancefloor to shreds with his mixing skills taking full advantage of the third channel. Brad 212 Finlay has well and truly arrived, and he ain’t going nowhere!’ He played a superb set and had the crowd in the palm of his hand, unwillingly handing it all over to Tim Deluxe.”
Luke Day, review of City Loud, UK-CL

"Brad has played at the White House on numerous occasions over the last couple of years. He is a young DJ with bags of energy and enthusiasm. What I find refreshing about him is that he gets to the party early (well before his set), comes always with a crew of friends, and he usually stays and parties afterwards with all the punters wearing a big fat grin on his face..."

Yann Roberts, The Whitehouse
