PERPETUAL PRESENT

Perpetual Present is one of the musical aliases of UK DJ/Producer Neil Gray. Although initially rooted in the Breaks scene, you can expect deviations into multiple genres, adopting a wild style philosophy to both music and life in general. His sound is characterized by big basslines, chunky beats and psychedelic-tinged melodies & FX, fusing together a fiendish cocktail of influences to entertain the dancefloor and beyond. Beginning his musical journey as a guitarist and then drummer in the late 90’s, he became gradually more drawn to the huge sounds of fusion acts like the Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers and Pendulum. After completing a degree in Electronics & Music Technology from the University of York in 2005 and then moving to Manchester, Neil co-founded the underground breaks label Acidphonic Records. Early releases gained a lot of interest from big players in the scene and 2009 single ‘Girls & Devices’ charted at no 1 for several weeks on Trackitdown.net. Over the next 10 years PP continued to hone his sound and play gigs and festivals across the UK, regularly releasing on some of the best independent labels in the scene. After self-releasing an album called ‘All Imaginary’ in early 2019, a new home was found with Diesel Recordings, whose wild style attitude perfectly matched the same artistic vision. With 2020 bringing the opportunity to spend more time working on original tracks you can expect to hear many more exciting things to come as the Perpetual Present sound and discography continues to expand and grow…
