The night was a complete success and since then SoundCanvasMusic have been putting on parties at various venues and involving other quality DJ's along the way.


Alex Rose

Alex has always had a taste for a wide range of music, from the broad spectrum of house and down tempo, to the likes of Roy Ayres, Cinematic Orchestra and Jamiroquai. Alex has been DJ'ing since the tender age of 13, where he began his musical quest indulging in the US House music scene of the early 90's. Favouring the dubby underground sounds from producers such as Master At Work, Smack Productions, Mood II Swing, Kerri Chandler and Todd Terry. Over the years Alex has built a fantastic back catalogue of some of the finest underground house music created on gods green earth and thus is always inclined to drop a classic or two whenever he plays.

Mick Hennessy

Mick's musical interest began at an early age from listening to his mum's old record collection which consisted of the likes of Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, The Jacksons, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. In 1990 Mick was introduced to the US underground House scene by a new school mate and fledgling DJ called Alex Rose. Since then the pair have struck a remarkable friendship and share the same passion for quality underground music. Mick is very opened minded when it comes to his musical palette and likes to mix together different styles instead of just sticking to the house music format. The different styles Mick submerses himself in are: Soulful, Deep and Tech House, Techno, Drum n Bass, Nu Wave Soul, Nu Jazz, Break Beat and Underground UK/US Hip Hop.
