Stu has been involved in music most of his life. He started off training as a classical pianist from the age of 11 and then taking Music & the Arts more seriously as he grew older, he went on to complete a Btec in Performing Arts at Greenbank College, Liverpool. After that he studied for two years of a BA(hons) degree as an Actor/Musician at Rose Bruford Theatre School, London. But he soon realised that his heart belonged solely to music and moved back to Liverpool to pursue his dream. . .

He started off back in 2000, when he co-promoted and was one of the resident DJ’s at Sour, a popular underground night held in the Basement of MelloMello. Since then he has continued to play at numerous local nights & venues including The

Cavern; Le Bateaux’s; Heebies Jeebies; the Lemon Lounge; The Magnet; The Warehouse; The Carling Academy and Nation. He was also one of the resident DJ’s for Strategy @ The Zanzibar, Liverpool, where he held a residency there for 18 months; between May 2002 and Nov 2003.

Stu has also played at the Earthdance UK festival as well as securing a guest appearances at the House of Progress @ Café Sol Nightclub in Amsterdam and he has continued to make regular trips over to the dam ever since.

In June 2003, he won the Mixmag Competition to play at Glastonbury in the UK. He played there twice on the Energy24 stage over the three-day festival alongside Mixmag’s future hero’s Louis Edwards & Nic Fanciulli.

All this time he continued to persist and entered every competition he came across and in August 2004 he won the Aftershock competition to play at Creamfields in Liverpool.

In September that year, he went over to play at the Burning Man festival in the heart of Black Rock Desert, Nevada USA. He played there twice over the five-day festival; a house/techno set at the Opulent Temple and also a breaks set as well.

Stu became resident for Aztec in Liverpool in September 2004 when he played his first gig at the Lemon Lounge. Since then he has played for Aztec at various venues throughout the city including The Cavern, The Magnet, The Carling Academy and Nation. He also made his debut at Sankey's in Manchester in 2006 when Aztec hosted the Soap Bar for the Easter weekend. Then went back a few months later to warm up for Sander Kleinenberg as Aztec hosted the main room for Tribal Sessions. After three great years of playing for Aztec, Stu decided he needed to move on and felt he needed to focus on a new challenge.

The last few years, he has been focusing more on the production side of things and his discography to date includes the tracks; ‘Shanghai Surprise’, ‘You get what you pay for’ and ‘Percussive Maintenance’ as well as remixing and editing various tracks for his own personal use including Mandy - Body Language and BT – Remember. Also under the guise of The GBC's with Danny Woods, he has also made a track entitled Another L8 Night.

Why Not! is the brainchild of Danny Woods, Mat Childs and Stu. It's aim to bring something different into the equation at at time when maybe music was becoming a bit formulaic and stale. The philosophy is to play anything as long as it's good. Having already got half a dozen parties under there belt at their regular monthly Friday at the Dragon Bar in Liverpool and as well as one-off warehouse party, things are looking good. There is always a theme to the nights, in the hope of providing something unique and different to the crowd and why not!

Since he started DJ'ing, Stu has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience from warming up and playing alongside many DJ’s and artists including; John Graham, Circulation, Steve Parry, Oliver Klein, Ben Sims, Chris Finke, Parks & Wilson, Magda, Sander Kleinenberg, Krysko, Surgeon, Troy Pierce, Matthew Dear, King Unique, Nic Fanciulli, 808 State and Hybrid.

The music Stu plays is an exiting mix of house, breaks and electronic music that should appeal to a wide range of people and with the Why not parties, Clubconnected and more production work coming through you should be hearing a lot more from Stu Bradley. . .
