Neil Quigley is one such DJ. When all around him seem destined to follow a path, Neil is out there happy to forge his own. Of course he is influenced, but when those influences range from John Digweed to Charles Webster, Francois K to Groove Armada it is clear for anyone to see, Neil Quigley is a man with more than just a melody in his heart. A regular on the London house music scene, this last year has seen Neil cement his popularity on the decks of clubs such as The End, The Cross and Egg as a regular for the ever-impressive ‘Prologue’ night. But then that is just the tip of the iceberg. The planned tour of the US aside, Neil’s future bookings highlight the absurdity that is the dance music industry. Where most people find fame in their locality but struggle to find gigs anywhere that may involve the slightest bit of traveling, his story is very much the reverse. A guest appearance in Stockholm married with repeat visits to St Petersburg in Russia has seen Neil rapidly becoming a favorite son of the scene there... Words: Chris King, DJ Magazine
