HMH - The Shack Sessions

Ayrshire based House head and sesh veteran.

Started DJ’ing on set of belt drives and mixer out of Tandy in 92, but when my kids came along five years later my decks and vinyl went up the loft.
Then in 2008 I got a wee Hercules controller for my Christmas. Straight away I was hooked , but I struggled to find  space to practice. Then a mate offered me an old hut he was getting rid of and I jumped at the chance and turned it into a studio.

To start it was really basic, but it soon became a proper party spot for me and my mates. Despite its size, it became infamous for its all‑night Shack parties — and over the years a few famous faces have even ended up in the booth.

The parties have slowed down a bit as we’ve all got older, but I still use it as a studio for DJ’ing and producing.

So if you're an amateur DJ sick of practicing in a spare room or the kitchen — and you’ve got a bit of space in your garden I'll show you how for few pounds you can build your own.
