FINN

Much of Finn’s sound is inspired by both the melting pot of dance music in Manchester and US West Coast inspiration picked up while living in San Francisco, where he was residing upon the release of debut record ‘Keep Calling’ in 2014 on Local Action Records. Further releases such as 2017’s ‘Sometimes The Going Gets A Little Tough’ and 2019’s blistering summer hit ‘Do What You Want Forever’ created a cult following from those seeking up-tempo toe-tappers filled to the brim with soul and meaning. In 2020 he launched imprint 2 B Real that has featured releases from both local and international talent such as Clemency, Anz, Gage and Martyn Bootyspoon.

Finn has been a fixture in Manchester's underground party scene for around a decade, holding residencies at Chow Down, SOUP and his own function, A Party Called, which launched in March 2020 with Anz, Chunky, Jungle Joe and Tom Boogizm, just before the UK club scene was forced to shutdown for 18 months. Despite this challenge, Finn's musical output remained upbeat through lockdown. Facing down the temptation to shy away from dance music with no clubs open, Finn instead embraced it, treating listeners to big dance anthems and cheeky bangers on his weekly NTS show, his DO!! YOU!!! breakfast show takeovers and his RA podcast. His floor-focused selections kept admirers on their toes - excited to reminisce about those magnetic dancefloor moments.

Often your next favourite DJ isn’t playing huge warehouse parties, festival stages or arenas. You will find them lower down on the bill, playing to a smaller crowd, honing their craft and building their profile. That is how all the biggest names in the industry began – in Room Two.
