Hailing from Manchester, a town which symbolises the blend of guitars and Machines, Siskid was given a classical musical education before making his First steps on the rock scene, then leaning towards the turntables. Known for his dark and melancholic sounds, and upbeat rythms, his influences are both rock and electronic.
His two first releases on Initial Cuts, Clean Breakfast & Hummer, are as many dancefloor pleasers which found their way into the record boxes of such djs as Michael Mayer, Agoria, The Hacker and Tiefschwarz.
Siskid is one of France’s hottest djs, and was recently offered residencies at Café d’Anvers (Belgium), Rex Club (Paris), Sala Albeniz (Gijon, Spain).
Along with Ivan Smagghe and Arnaud Rebotini, he also plays guitar, bass and keyboards during live performances of the famous band Black Strobe.
Siskid is definitely playing his role in the renewal of the French electronic scene.
His new EP, "the Architect", is out now on Initial Cuts.
Siskid is also working on an album due on Initial Cuts in 2007.

Siskid : a multi talented artist to be followed closely.
