lair and feeling are at the forefront of Barber’s musical armoury, be it DJing or producing. His expertise in the latter is testament to why his diary is full of studio clientele looking for something a little more… “Mmmm, Yes Bruv!”, and why key industry taste makers are sitting up, taking note, signing and playing his tracks.

His vigorous and entertaining DJ sets are an extension of his impulsive and fun personality, which has enabled him to play in both Berlin and London regularly this year, including Sisyphos, Golden Gate, IPSE, Suicide Circus and Fabric, Egg Club, Basing House, Studio 338.

So, other than featuring on ViVA Music: Club Cuts Volume 1, having Darius Syrossian champion his remix of the classic 808 State track, 'Pacific State’, then featured on the coveted 'Balance Series' compilation. Or his debut Fabric London performance for 'WetYourSelf'… oh, and spearheading the Faceless Recordings label takeover at IPSE, Berlin, and Sisyphos, Berlin. More recently Barber was chosen by the legendary Marshall Jefferson to launch his new label Imprint Frekin'303 with a five track EP called 'Barber and Friends'

All the while he’s working tirelessly on the label he co-founded with long time friend — respected DJ/producer, Silky — Faceless Recordings. Together they are the driving force behind this quality-not-quantity driven underground house and techno label and are preparing for an even bigger 2017.

With a growing array of original and remix works that impressively count ViVA Music, Suara, Elrow, Columbia, Flashmob, Freakin 303, Slave, Cubism, Fetch, Onit, Zulu, Seamless, State Of The Eye, Twisted Fusion, Blackwiz, OFF, Phonetic, Go Deeva, Nervous, Motek, Cr2, and Faceless Recordings as release carriers, expect to hear a whole lot more Barber audio online and in your favourite discoteque. Yes Bruv!
