Twenty year old Luben has been immersed in music ever since he can remember. From an early age he was influenced by a broad spectrum of music, which would help to form the forward-thinking, diverse sound he employs today. With many established DJs and newcomer DJs leaning towards a particular style and musical range, many are pigeon holed into a 'genre' of music. Luben, however, has managed to establish his own sound that crosses boundaries and makes difficult to categorize. Luben incorporates house classics, deep, tech, funky and progressive into his sets. His musical taste takes inspiration from everything and anything that he feels and from almost any type of music. Many tracks he finds may not be instantly playable, so he will use technology such as Pro Tools and Ableton live to re-edit tracks or update them so they will then fit into his vision of how the music should sound on the dance floor. Luben was brought into the world of DJing from the tender age of 11 by his farther (Figurehead) of who was and still is a DJ himself, playing his part in the rave scene of `90s Liverpool` and still doing gigs to this day, So, Being a part of the scene from such an early age allows him to DJ from a clubber's perspective, forming sets dedicated to his particular audience and granting him the knowledge of exactly what a crowd is looking for. He is as happy warming up as he is banging it out towards the end of the night and Lubens talent has not gone unnoticed, earning praise from some big names in the industry being tipped as `a talent to break through in the near future`.
