Doogie is a DJ and MC based in Brighton who specializes predominantly in drum and bass. His love for music has been clear throughout his whole life, from playing the drums in primary school to spinning tunes behind the decks as a young teen. He listened to genres like garage and house long before discovering drum and bass, adding to his extensive knowledge of dance music. Doogie has been on the mic at venues such as Box Park and Egg London; however, DJing has always been his main passion. Always on the hunt for new music, Doogie’s sets are filled with heavy basslines and smooth drum breaks, bringing energy to every performance. Starting out as an intern, he has since solidified his place within the CodeSouth family and community.

From classical piano prodigy to dance music innovator, Ed Paterson’s musical journey has been anything but ordinary. Trained as a pianist from a young age, Ed quickly found himself captivated by hip hop, acid house, and the UK rave movement. Trading Mozart and Beethoven for improvisation and groove, he immersed himself in Jazz, Blues, and the fast-rising world of electronic dance culture. Ed’s passion for music runs deep, studying everything from African American spirituals and early slave songs to modern music technology, sequencing, and live performance. After a degree in Music & Performing Arts, Ed spent years in professional theatre, mastering every aspect of production—from sound and lighting to stage performance and earning critical acclaim, including headline reviews in The Stage and other national publications. For over three decades, Ed performed with a wide range of live bands, from Irish folk ensembles to original psychedelic funk outfits, honing his ability to connect with audiences of all kinds. His most notable band project, Ricky & The Hats, became a festival favourite and recently returned for a sold-out reunion in Tunbridge Wells. Behind the scenes, Ed has quietly been producing dance-inspired tracks for years, recently launching his own imprint, Submix Records, and releasing music on Spotify. He also hosts the weekly “Global Dance with Ed Paterson” show on Ashdown Radio (Saturdays 9pm–Midnight), curating a vibrant mix of global dance music spanning genres and eras. His interactive, community-driven approach and carefully crafted playlists have made the show a listener favourite. Expanding his reach globally, Ed delivers two monthly shows on Dance Attack FM—a one-hour trance journey on the first Monday of each month and a two-hour psytrance exploration on the second Monday. His guest mixes have been featured on HouseTech Radio, LDN Radio, and Noise Pollution Promotions, and he topped the Mixcloud Global Science Chart with his four-part series Making of a DJ. Driven by a deep love of dance music across genres, Ed aims to take his listeners on a journey of connection, peace, and unity through sound, proving that music is not just for the body, but for the soul. There is so much more in between, and Ed has so many other reasons for doing what he does, but for now just wants everyone to let the music do the speaking and is mega honoured to be given the opportunity to join the crew and connect with the CodeSouth audience.
