Candidate is a Liverpool-born producer and DJ carving out a signature hip-house-infused sound across the UK underground and beyond. His breakout run includes releases on Jamie Jones' Hottrax, Max Dean's Nexup, Three Six Zero, and Belief — with his debut Bass Revolution EP on Nexup hitting #1 on Beatport in just two days. Collaborations with fellow Liverpool producer Saigon (Steady On on MicroHertz, Chase The Ace on Andhera) have expanded his reach, while solo cuts like Everybody, Bang, and Diss Hard keep his 2026 release schedule relentless. Behind the decks he's played Lab 11, 93 Feet East, Depot Cardiff, Eastenderz, Flow, and After Caposile in Italy, with DJ support from Jamie Jones, Archie Hamilton, East End Dubs, ALISHA, and Max Dean. Beyond releases, he shares production knowledge through Josh Baker's Syntho platform and his own Samplemarket pack.
