Greg’s love of music led him to take up the role of guitarist and songwriter in a band in the late 80’s. His passion for adventure and cave exploration forced a break from music to follow a series of epic expeditions throughout the 90s, taking in some of the most remote and unexplored regions of the planet. Attempting to return to music, Greg realised the near impossibility of getting a full band to attend songwriting and rehearsal sessions at the same time. These frustrations led him to engage more fully with his newfound love for Goa Trance and Acid Techno, trying his hand at what appeared to be, the mystical art of the DJ! This began a journey that has taken him to spin tunes in the clubs, forests and festivals of the UK, the rooftops of Japan, the beaches and clubs of Thailand and eclectic parties across Europe.
Greg Zogg is a founder and resident DJ at Planet Zogg, the near-legendary, long-running, UK party, now in its 24th year of regular events. (over 200 events) Greg has also held residencies at Tek Tonik, Secret Garden and Ripsnorter. In addition to regular performances and guest slots at parties all over the UK, Greg has played at a range of notable festivals. These include Boom Festival (Portugal), Boomtown Fair, Glade, Noisily, Existance, Beat-Herder, Bearded Theory, Equinox, Rising and Landed. Greg has a trademark high-energy, psychedelic sound with strong acid lines. This trance vibe is full of techno energy and old-style Goa influences. You are just as likely to see him playing tough, acidic, melodic techno on a festival or club stage. Greg has released original tunes on several labels and remixed some classic artists, with long-time collaborator Ben Fraser, aka Sabretooth. He has contributed guitar and vocals to studio recordings in a range of musical styles.
There is definitely more to come!
