Like many, Ross’s interest in psychedelic music began in the early 1990s. While already performing in bands and recording with the likes of Martin Rusham (Human League, the Stranglers, and Buzzcocks), it was that summer of 1992 discovering The Orb and Ozrics and being introduced to psychedelics, where it all first happened. Finding that Juno Reactor mix of Killing Joke, putting on warehouse raves while at Uni, and then finding Goa!
Very soon Ross and schoolmates James (who would later be part of Noisly) started the seminal Liquid parties – starting out as parties for mates but very soon grew into the thousands … and as they say, the rest is history.
For over two decades, Liquid Ross has been shaping the new sound of trance on the dancefloors of the world, from the seminal Liquid Connective parties to becoming label manager and chief A+R for Liquid Records and now newly established London-based Altered States, to residencies at London superclubs including Ministry of Sound and Matter. Liquid Ross has also played all over the globe at some of the world’s most prestigious trance events including Boom Festival (Portugal), OZORA (Hungary), Universo Paralello (Brazil), Rainbow Serpent (Australia), Trimutri Festival (Russia), Time and Space (Mexico) and is a regular at Glastonbury, Glade Festival, Noisily as well as running the largest psytrance stage in the UK at Boomtown Fair.
In addition to trance, Liquid Ross also plays techno and some ambient, electro, and breaks.
As well as being a DJ, Liquid Ross also manages a variety of big artists, including the heavyweight genre-defining legends The Orb – yes, they did have a Number One album that helped shape Ross’ direction in life. Ross also promoted some of the UK’s most successful and groundbreaking events, including Altered States and co-collaborated with Return to the Source, Liquid Connective, Synergy Project, illumiNaughty and more.
