The Journey
Double-A-Side caught the DNB bug before he had any prospects to learn to mix music in general. Starting in the early 2000’s, Aaron Armstrong caught the ear of two tracks in particular, the nationwide hit by Pendulum ‘Slam’ alongside the more underground ‘Billion Dollar Gravy’ by London Elektricity. It was through the latter that he got on to Hospital Records and into the monthly podcast, indulging for multiple years before he was of age to legally venture out into clubs.
His first major outing was at a Hospitality event in the infamous Matter nightclub (now Building Six) in 2009 and it wasn’t until a year or so later that he got involved in the local DnB scene at Uni in Aberystwyth filming for the events brand Black House, capturing moments from artists such as Chase and Status, Stinkahbell, Sidney Samson & Unitz to name a few.
It wasn’t until his move to Cardiff that he finally purchased a controller and speakers, knowing that learning to mix on Vinyl would be the goal after witnessing the craft on nights out. That came to fruition by eventually learning on belt drives and more so through the local legends Catapult Records and the DJ School they were holding at the time.
Having already amassed most of his collection through them, there he met the owners and other DJ’s eager to know the craft, learning more about mixing records and CD’s, at a time when digital and USB were just breaking through, eventually leading to him purchase Technics, sadly just before they closed their doors for good.
