Homegrove started playing records in 2001 after being inspired by a big pile of John Digweed, Sasha, Deep Dish and Orkidea mix cds. Starting with tribal progressive house and moving to a more varied style he now plays absolutely filthy tech house and bits of more progressive sounds. He has played in most of Finlands premiere clubs and events like Screen, Fantasy and Labyrinth Summer Sound System and along with just about every important Finnish DJ and foreign DJs such as Lee Burridge and Steve Gerrard.
Favorite labels: Bedrock, Saved, Sexonwax, Bpitch Control, Great Stuff
