Mr Rivaz has been a DJ for 5 years, initally starting out by working the smaller local venues in his area. This was mainly to establish a good local following and allow for him to master his abilities. He then progressed up through the ranks to secure a weekly residency at the Palace nightclub, Swansea.
He describes his style as 'energetic' and 'up for it', playing a wide range of music to suit any time or venue, ranging through trance, hard UK and German trance to full-throttle hard house.

Past gigs and Accomplishments

"I had the chance in a lifetime to play the world famous 'Cafe Mambo' in Ibiza after entering a competition with the sun newspaper".

"I was selected to play the main stage at the Tredegar Rock and Dance Festival, warming up for none other than Escape Resident DJ Danny Slade, after I won the DJ mixing competition".

"I was chosen as one of the best up and coming DJs at the Welsh Dance Music Awards after party by Immtech studios Cardiff, which resulted in me playing in the Emporium, warming up for such nights as Time Flies and Bionic".

Mr Rivaz has been recognised as best up and coming DJ by the Prince's Trust. After many months of planning and careful promotion for his night 'Ascension' @ Evolution Cardiff, Mr Rivaz was recognised by the Prince's Trust as the best up and coming DJ/Promoter in Wales UK
