Dec Duffy<\/b> is a 21-year-old DJ\/Producer from Cheshire in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heavily inspired by UKG<\/b> and 90s House<\/b>, Dec uses elements from both sub-genres to create his trademark sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

His music has previously been supported by the likes of Darius Syrossian, Micheal Bibi, Patrick Topping, Mason Collective, East End Dubs, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n

We sat down with Dec Duffy<\/b> to talk about his new EP on Moxy Music<\/b>, favorite tracks, inspiration, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Dec! Great to have you here with us? How are things with you right now?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Hey guys, big thank you for having me on! For me right now everything has been crazy, I don\u2019t even think it has fully hit me yet!<\/span><\/p>\n

How has your 2023 been so far? What have been your highlights?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A big highlight for me was going away to both Ibiza and Forbidden Forest back to back and being followed by my own music. It was a big realisation moment for me to be hearing my own music in person in another country just absolute craziness.<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you come to release your new EP on Darius Syrossian\u2019s Moxy Music?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I first met Darius a few years back at a showcase he was playing near to me. I built up confidence and went over to say hi and explained who I was, as the day before he had played one of my earlier releases in Printworks! We exchanged contact details and I went on to send him some tracks. He loved \u201cBebington Rd\u201d and from there we built the 4 track EP!<\/span><\/p>\n

How does it feel to release on such an esteemed house label?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Incredible! Moxy has been a big goal from the start and to hit it is amazing!<\/span><\/p>\n

What would you say the scene in Manchester is like at the moment? Any highlight parties or artists on the scene we should know about?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m still pretty new to the Manchester scene but to me I would have to say Darius and his Moxy, the Mason Collective boys and their MVSON brand but\u2026 I am also a huge fan of UKG and anything Interplanetary Criminal touches is gold!<\/span><\/p>\n

Where do you draw inspiration from for your music? Who are your idols?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

For me it would have to be East End Dubs, BURNSKI and also Chris Stussy, between those 3 I get most of my inspiration!<\/span><\/p>\n

What three tracks never leave your USB at the moment?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Boris Dlugosch – Hold Your Head Up High (Julian Jonah\u2019s bad boy mix)<\/span><\/p>\n

Mene – Champagna<\/span><\/p>\n

Silva Bumpa – Dreaming<\/span><\/p>\n

What music do you listen to outside dance?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I have a huge soft spot for MGMT\u2026 \u201cElectric Feel\u201d being my all time favourite.<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you like to do to release outside of the booth and the studio?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Motocross has been my sport of choice for a very long time. It\u2019s a good way to break those lazy habits and get outside!<\/span><\/p>\n

What can we expect from you in the upcoming months?<\/b>\u00a0What should we be excited for?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got multiple releases in talks at the moment but the next one confirmed is a fave of mine, my upcoming release on Lowsteppas label \u201cSimma Black\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
