Dear Google and people in the DM’s I’m not Peggy’s manager but I did release some of her seminal music. I’m just here to get the best music possible from talent I believe in. I can’t help you get in touch with her either.
I’m happy to DJ at your events though ☮︎ + ♡
My name is Dean and I'm the founder of record label and talent management company @dont.sleep.dont.sleep . I also DJ. I flew to NYC this weekend and recorded an underground UK Garage mix at @thelotradio
These are not the hits but the anthems that created a seminal movement in UK club culture. Enjoy. Link in stories / bio ☮︎ ♡ ♫
After a beautiful March edition, we go again 🩵💛
Real happy to bring back ‘Burnin Music Curates’ to @the_bbe_store — one of London’s most special listening spaces. A proper community hub with an incredible soundsystem 🔊
This lineup means a lot to me personally.
Some are close friends, some are longtime inspirations, studio collaborators or trusted b2b partners — but all of them are selectors I deeply respect, both musically and humanly.

@deanbryce in conversation with @lewiselb 🐐 🫶🏻
Still a student in this, still figuring it all out… so hearing that from someone whose records I’ve played 1000s of times, and who I consider one of the GOATs in the garage scene,
A real reminder of why I started, and why I keep going…
