His peers acknowledge him as a leading innovator in using new DJ technology and pushing boundaries, while fans across the world hail him as one of the most exciting DJs to perform on stage.

Behind the decks Halliwell is a hive of activity, constantly manipulating the music with lightning-quick cuts, layers of effects and slick scratches. Playing tracks from across a broad musical spectrum he harnesses the vigour of every beat, synth, hi-hat, squelch and squeak, using his technical expertise to generate energy and manipulate new sounds.

He pushes new DJing equipment to its maximum potential, performing tricks and generating effects unrivalled by his fellow music architects.Through his popular flagship show on BBC Radio 1 Halliwell reached into the homes of millions of people across the UK and beyond.

This year also sees the English spinner embark on his eighth season as resident of Cream at Amnesia in Ibiza, as well as launch his new concept and stunning audio/visual live show; Connected.

Now Halliwell returns to Mandela Hall for what will no doubt be another extravaganza of effects, tricks and energetic showmanship. He is joined at Mandela Hall by fresh faced beats stalwart D.O.D, whose DJ style can only be deemed as inimitable, in-your-face turntable wizardry.
