Hirize, hailing from the South-West UK, started DJ'ing in late '91 playing hardcore at various illegal parties & beach raves. His first residency saw him playing regularly at local (now legendary venue) Pawlett Manor for a night called Sketch. He played regularly alongside Man Like GT, Hedge, Vinyl Junkie & the one and only DJ Kay to name but a few. Hirize remained a resident at Pawlett playing for Sketch, GBH & Revibalize, right through until it finally closed its doors in '98.
Having played for many other promoters over the years including GBH @ Depot (Bristol), Fusion @ Bath Pavillion, AZ-OZ @ Kingstons (Taunton), Kool Waters @ Dellers Wharf (Taunton), Club M (Majorca), he has also had the pleasure of playing alongside many of the greats such as: DJ Sy, Slipmatt, Supreme, Hixxy, Ribbz, Vibes & Lively, Vinyl Junkie etc...
Hirize played Happy Hardcore up until about 2000, when he felt it had all started getting a bit too fast...so started persuing bookings at a few local clubs playing Hard House & Old Skool, but this was to be short lived as soon after he had to step out of the scene & take a few years out through illness... But now he's back & is ready to explode back onto the scene!
Old Skool & Rave Breaks with a bit of Electro House thrown in is his speciality these days & he always try to throw something a bit special into every set he plays, from acapella mixes thrown over the top to unexpected tunes played at different speeds... as any one who has ever seen him play will know, Hirize always delivers!!!
He is currently resident for Inferno Events, based in Somerset & is also available for bookings direct through his myspace page at www.myspace.com/djhirize

Hirize teamed up with The Maestro in January of 2008 to bring a new radio show to Nubreaks.
