their own biography
the whole biography
Errol is one of the UK's most compelling, contemporary musical voices: DJ, broadcaster, music curator and founder of Touching Bass. Underpinning it all is a passion for promoting the eclecticism of Black music as well as the culture and community behind it, with roots firmly anchored in his Caribbean heritage. His DJ sets are known for feeling beautifully loose, searching and soulful; unrestricted by genre and anchored by groove. Over the past few years, the London-born artist has taken this free-wheeling approach across the world - from gracing Berlin’s Panorama Bar, Glastonbury and Horst to multiple tours of Australia, Japan and New Zealand. Along the way, there have also been wheel-ups on King Jammy’s legendary dancehall soundsystem in Kingston, as well as warm-up slots for the likes of Erykah Badu, Tony Allen (RIP), Flying Lotus and Yussef Dayes. In 2022, Errol was included in The Face Magazine’s New Guard: a list of the UK’s 50 most influential individuals shaping the future of nightlife in the city. At the helm of Touching Bass, he has steadily established one of London’s most important musical incubators alongside his partner, Alex Rita. For the past seven years, it has quietly gained cult status for its intention, community spirit and musical eclecticism. More than a South London-based club night, NTS Radio staple, award-nominated record label, concert series at The Barbican and curatorial studio, Touching Bass has slow-cooked to become a meeting ground for music lovers and some of the most exciting contemporary and well-respected artists both in the capital and beyond. Errol considers himself a music curator at heart. As host and music programmer for Boiler Room, he played a pivotal role in bringing some of the world’s best live and DJ acts to the fore. From spearheading the UK jazz explosion in its early stages (Yussef Kamaal, Nubya Garcia, KOKOROKO) to collaborating with Saul Williams across London, New York and Miami (including an appearance from Yasiin Bey) and introducing the likes of Khruangbin, Anderson Paak, Mala, Nick Hakim and many more to millions online. His work has since expanded to film music supervision, including work with Ronan McKenzie and Joy Yamusangie for WATA (2020) and co-curating the soundtrack for Black To Techno (2019); the Gucci-supported, experimental documentary by multi-award winning director, Jenn Nkiru, which premiered at Frieze Los Angeles and was nominated for ‘Best Short’ at the IDA Awards. Through 2021-2023, that curation elevated and stretched further across music, fashion and art. As lead music curator and project manager at 180 Strand, he ushered in projects with visionaries including Gabriel Moses and Julianknxx. London’s White Cube have commissioned Errol and Touching Bass for Frieze London twice; developing immersive live experiences in response to Ibrahim Mahama’s 'Lazarus' and Julie Mehretu’s 'They departed for their own country another way (a 9x9x9 hauntology)' respectively. Most recently, audiophile legend Devon Ojas partnered with Touching Bass for his residency at Lisson Gallery, alongside a handpicked selection of legendary labels including Blue Note and Luaka Bop (David Byrne, Pharoah Sanders). In doing so, Errol and Touching Bass have been recognised by the likes of the Resident Advisor, i-D, Mixmag, CRACK, Another Magazine, Complex, BBC, Japan’s POPEYE, The Design Museum and THE FACE, who called him ‘a tastemaker for both the past, present and future of soulful and electronic music’.Their RA profile lists Touching Bass.Recently at Good Room · often with Shy One, Donis, Brother Portrait, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Born in Germany, raised in the South, and now based in Brooklyn, NY, he has been curating soulful, deep, and sexy vibes since 2016. By 2019, he fully embraced his craft, blending soulful sounds that echo dimly lit dance floors, late-night basements, and unforgettable moments—music that moves both the mind and gets the floor stomping—alongside Detroit techno and disco edits. Through years of digging and collecting music, his sound has expanded into playful genres designed to make everyone in the crowd feel welcomed, while always maintaining a hard, driving drum that slams through the majority of the musical journey. Influenced by legends like Joe Claussell and Ron Trent, his music weaves a rich tapestry of joy, sensuality, and confidence. Though fashion and art have always been passions, nothing compares to the intoxicating power of music and dancing—where his heart beats loudest and his soul comes alive.Recently at Rodeo, Honey's, Good Room · often with Guarionex Jr, tinasnow, Tim Lucent, none of them here that night
