Fergie (DJ)

Fergie (real name Robert Ferguson) is a DJ, a goog head and electronic music artist from Larne, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4161/is_20021020/ai_n12856448 "Sunday Mirror"] ] Initially playing hard house in his early career, he is now better known for breaks and techno.

Fergie played his first set at the age of 14 in his native Larne. Allegedly a milk crate was used so that he could reach the decks. Being underage, he was soon ejected from the premises by the police. He followed this by building his reputation at Armagh's The Met, promoted by friend Mark Dobbin. Before moving to London he met Tony de Vit while DJing at Lush! in Kelly's, Portrush. De Vit would become Fergie's mentor, playing together at "Trade" in Turnmills. [ [http://www.nimusic.com/showFeatureArticle.asp?id=57 Northern Irish Music Industry Commission] ] Through the 1990s he played at clubs across the UK including Sundissential and Godskitchen. He was also popular in Ibiza, DJing at Privilege, Space and Bora Bora.

In 2002 he was hired by BBC Radio 1 to present a late night weekend slot. His original show was Friday night 11:00pm - 1:00am, but later moved to a Saturday night slot 11:00pm - 1:00am. In September 2006 Fergie left Radio 1 due to the station's schedule revamp on evening and weekend shows. [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/fergie/ Radio 1 Homepage] ] He is often a matchday sponsor of his local football team Larne F.C.. In 2002 he DJed at the club's Inver Park stadium in his Homecoming tour. He is also a columnist for Mixmag. He has released a number of mix albums for Godskitchen and Ministry of Sound, as well releasing several singles of his own work.
