Treats

Treats is the go-to guy when unusual parties appear.

Whether dropping glitch bass madness at Heavy Innit, or deep fractal grooves at Rainbow Serpent Festival, this London born selector has built a reputation for opening minds and moving crowds at a huge variety of events.

This unusually diverse music taste and experienced feel for dancefloor dynamics, combined with cutting edge technology, marks Treats out as one of a new breed of djs seamlessly re-editing tracks on the fly, inducing dancers to lose themselves, and find each other.
