And in 2005 he recorded 2 exclusive radio mixes for both Annie Nightingale’s BBC 1 and John Digweed’s ‘Transitions’ shows as well as numerous mixes aired on international radio shows in Germany, Turkey, Hungary, Australia’s JJJ, and throughout America. Not bad for a 24 year old. He’s done a “fantastic job,” you might say. Damon would disagree.

He hasn’t done enough – not nearly enough. Now he’s getting his hands dirty with technology – filthy dirty. He’s not only creating music that tears down boundaries, but he’s dabbling with creating full original visual and other sensory stimulation. Habersham is shedding the limitations of turntables and CDJs, moving towards a completely unique live performance incorporating various media forms into his live show. Some listeners have described his music as subtle, twisted underground music. Some say it’s a bit too ‘weird.’ Others cannot even find the words to describe his taste, and this is what makes him most proud.

Perhaps the greatest of compliments is when an artist cannot be labeled or boxed in, which explains why Damian Lazarus, James Holden, Pig & Dan, Phil K, Lee Burridge, James Zabiela, Dave Seaman, Nic Fanciulli, Ozgur Can and even Slam give heavy rotation to his selections.
