Biography
Coming from the Northwest of England, United Kingdom, Carl Cameron’s career to date is exemplified with a passion for music that began in the sweaty clubs of the northwest from 1989. Taking inspiration from the local clubs whilst clubbing in places like Maximes, Wigan Pier, Cream, The Drome and The State he was then lucky enough to venture over the water to experience various Northern Ireland clubs like Kelly’s and Circus Circus; he became an avid vinyl record collector picking up records from the likes of Snafu and Underground Records in Belfast and Groover and 3 Beat records in Liverpool and as far as Eastern Bloc in Manchester; he started to build a collection of tracks that defined a generation. After purchasing a set of Technics 1210’s; an innocent hobby elevated into much, much more. The hobby spiralled into not only DJing internationally and Producing tracks but running a successful record label “Salford City Records” and on to teaching students how to DJ. Carl passes on his vast experiences to students by instructing on bespoke courses engineered specifically for novices to learn how to DJ and for aspiring producers to learn, by instructing the basics of Ableton all under his own school “Pro DJ Training UK”.
