Damion started DJ’ing psytrance in 1997 after blowing his student grant on a set of decks. Moving to Australia in late 2005, he’s the Melbourne-based PsyBooty representative fusing funky, dirty psychedelic house music fused with fluid progressive psytrance.

Damion has been resident at Eufluoria and Samadhi parties in the UK, and has guested at Rotation in Southampton, Brainchild in Winchester, Planet Shroom, Hoi Pol Loi, Bad By Design and PsyProject in Bristol, and Interface Radio, Omniscience, and Symbiosis in London. In Australia, he has played in Melbourne and Byron Bay, and played in Tokyo in early 2005.

He played at the Sonica 2005 festival in Italy this summer, and the lineup of gigs for Australia includes stints in Sydney and NNSW, and in Melbourne will be at Tribeadelic as well as parties for Green Ant who run the massive Rainbow Serpent festival.

He’s shared the decks with Andrew Humphries (Organic Records), OOOD, Mick Chaos, Pop Stream, Barclay (Dark Angel) and OTT in the UK, and Mr Peculiar, LegoHead, Andrew Till, Ozzy (Tribeadelic), Rich Mantrix, and Dale (Green Ant) in Australia.

As well as his DJ work, Damion runs the hugely successful Psyreviews weekly trance reviews email service and has written about Psychedelic Trance for Dream Creation (UK), Spaced (UK), DJ Times (USA) and DMA (USA) magazines, and was trance editor for Worldpop Dance, twice winner of the UK Dancestar Awards for best dance music site.

As a spin-off from the weekly Psyreviews mailing list (going out to 3,000 trance people each week), the Psyreviews Radio Show airs now and again via the Psy-Forum.co.uk radio Psystream.

Damion’s side project Synth Bastard has seen comedy re-edits and remixes of psytrance tunes getting around over the last year. Having messed about with several tracks, his tunes have been doing the rounds in the UK and have been played in London by DJs such as Lurk (BooM! Records NL), Wicki (Organic, PharPsyde), Red Five (Last Possible Solution, Chaos Unlimited) and Aurora (Psyforce SWE).
