Fergie started DJing 'Pumping Garage' and 'Bouncy House' in his small bedroom in Larne Belfast in Northern Ireland at the early age of 12. He played his first club at the age of 14 called Airport 2000 standing on a milk crate, shortly after his set he was thrown out by the police for being too young. He later went on to exhaust Ireland's club scene by the time he was 16.

It was at this time he was playing at The House night-club in Larne Northern Ireland when he was heard by Tony de Vit who was to play after him. Tony was amazed by the talent of this young lad peering over the decks and asked him to play a bit longer so he could listen. Shortly after Tony invited Fergie to England to introduce him to the English club scene where he played more clubs but still aspired for more...

Fergie has had radio experience in Ireland and in England playing on Club FM Dublin, Cool FM Belfast and guested on Kiss FM London a couple of times being interviewed and mixing live.

In the summer of 1997 Fergie toured South Africa for 2 weeks with the Vibe magazine playing in all the major cities. This summer 1998, Fergie played in Ibiza for the first time at Privilege, Space and Bora Bora. His talents were noticed by many including Laurence Malice who immediately made Fergie a regular Trade guest. The first major event Fergie headlined was in November 1998, He toured most of Australia wowing crowds in Sydney and Melbourne making them gag for more. March 1999 saw Fergies first Transatlantic tour, playing to huge crowds on east coast of the US. Fergie stunned the clubbers of Atlanta, New York and Philadelphia with his talent. At the age of 18 he was even to young to DRINK! In April 1999 Fergie soon returned to Australia Touring the huge continent once again. He also came 2nd in the 'Best International DJ awards- Melbourne 99' to Frankie Knuckles beating Roger Sanchez at 3rd place...

Fergie is non-stop in the studio producing his new fresh sound, his first track 'Ooh Sir' was available on the Trade label early 1999 and sold out in 5 days. After the huge success of his first track Fergie was approached to remix the Tamperers new single 'Hammer to my heart'. Fergie's studio work started to peak after the summer of 1999, with original tracks and remix's on many well known record label's.

The end of 1999 saw Fergie's biggest achievement's pre-millennium. Fergie was nominated as one of the 'Best up and coming DJ's of 1999' by Muzik Magazine, then only 1 week later Fergie was voted number 17, best DJ (in the UK) by a MixMag readers poll. MixMag stated that the quotes written in by Fergies fans were unbelievable!

After all the Millennium dust had settled there is one name on everybody's lips, Fergie... In the first 2 months of 2000 Fergie released numerous other Tracks for Other well known labels selling well into the thousands. Fergie then went on to land a string of residences at Godskitchen and the all new Super club born from Godskitchen CODE!

With Fergies first Dance compilation out on Nukleuz records and front cover CD's on MixMag there is NO stopping the ' Larne Express' known as FERGIE. Fergie has Mixed a Second Compilation for the Worldly acclaimed Music organisation DMC namely 'Seven Live' and also has a string of Album deals with The Ministry of Sound's Annual Series.

Fergie has signed a Single Deal with the chart topping label Duty Free. His first single on Duty Free, Deception roared in at Number 36 in the National Charts. This then created a huge waive of remix enquiries for Virgin, Incentive and other Majors.

2000 was definitely the year of the Fergster Al right, he was nominated for the second year running at the Ericsson Muzik Magazine awards for best New DJ. Fergie reached the highest new entry in the DJ magazine Top 100 DJs in the World at a staggering Number 8, flying past DJs Such as Danny Rampling, Seb Fontaine, Tall Paul and Pete Tong. He was voted Number 2 in the Ministry Magazine Unofficial DJ poll and No 29 in the Muzik Magazines Top 50 DJs Poll. To top the lot MixMag announced that they considered Fergie to be the DJ of the year, with comments in his cover issue like 'Superstar DJ 2000', 'This man is the Future' and 'Fergie is the most important thing in clubland since God created legs'.

2001 the Story continues... Essential Mix time, not only did Fergie do one of the first Essential mixes of 2001 the team behind the Essential mix have scouted Fergie to be the Official Essential mix DJ with live mixes in the bag from Clubs Worldwide, Ibiza and The Huge UK Love Parade. Fergie now has more involvement with Radio 1 than any other DJ in the country without their own weekly Show.

Fergie seems to have been around for while now, yet at 28, we forget that he was just a lad when he began the amazing journey that is still riding high and he has never had a stronger and more vibrant aural identity.

2008 couldn’t be busier for Fergie. Regularly playing at clubs such as Firefly, Shine, The Stiff Kitten, he maintains an international pedigree which has seen him play at Sonar(Barcelona) Metropolis(Bulgaria),Meganite(Ibiza), Magazinni Generalli (Italy), the Berlin Love Parade and of course almost a decade in Ibiza. Add to that a whirlwind of gigs that took in Hong Kong, Australia, Israel, Poland, and America where he even done a 7 day tour of the Curran-Holding Prison Correctional Facility (CFCF) in Philadelphia which wasn’t listed on the tour schedule!

The producer of stunningly good techno that has seen the likes of Slam, Laurent Garnier and Phil Kieran and Dubfire smash floors all over with his tunes and the man whose Excentric project is making a real impact in clubland on three different levels; pushing new talent, putting on events and releasing exciting music.

Fergie is firing on all cylinders at the moment with his recently released 'THE ME EP' on Excentric Muzik climbing high in the techno charts on Beatport. It’s gaining huge support from some of the industry’s most respected DJs, with across the board appeal to many techno exponents. Add to this a collaboration with Gregor Tresher that spawned ‘Recluse’ recently released on the on the Great Carnival Stuff album. A further Great Stuff Olympic album due to be released later this year will feature a track from each country with Fergie representing Ireland. Re-mixes due out include Bigger than Jesus ‘Itchy Glitchy Spider’ (Fergie rmx) on Silver Planet and King Unique ‘Hinode’ (Fergie rmx) due out on their Curfew imprint.

His exclusive Excentric nights have been ripping up dance floors across the UK at venues that include Ice Factory bi monthly (Perth) The Custard Factory (B/Ham) and The THELKA (Bristol) not to mention 13 weeks in Ibiza and have been featuring guests such as Slam, Phil Kieran, Gregor Tresher, Anderson Noise,Tom Pooks, Silicone Soul, Funk D Void and Pyscatron as well as some exciting, fresh new talent from his own Excentric Artist Agency, Bigger than Jesus, Henry Von, Jus Phil, Dan Doran, JordanX and Ken the Men.

It all started in Larne in Northern Ireland where Robert Ferguson, as his passport dubs him, grew up. His first day of secondary school would see him donning a walkman instead of putting up with his teacher’s voice, and for the next three years he would spend more time outside the headmaster’s office than in the classroom. At the age of 14 he finally left school and embarked on the passion that had engulfed him; embracing music headlong and becoming a DJ.

It was to become a mercurial move that would lead to international DJ status with Tony De Vit taking Fergie under his wing and starting him on a journey that eventually led to his own slot on Radio 1 where he championed the sounds of underground on mainstream radio, before minimal became the du jour genre for DJs. At only 21 he found himself presenting live shows from, Skool Beats,( Brazil ) Love Parade (Berlin ) Meganite ( Ibiza ) Miami Winter Music Conference and not one to forget where he came he brought his very first live Radio 1 show from Larne Football Club in his hometown.

The show ran for 5 years and developed into a snapshot of what was going on in the underground electronic music scene. Guests included Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Dave Clarke and Phil Kieran (who both covered the show in Fergie's absence), Carl Cox and Jeff Mills, as well as providing a platform for many aspiring producers and DJs to show what they had to offer... the likes of Kev Gorman ( Gigolo ), Anderson Noise ( Noise Music ) and Matt Tolfrey ( Leftroom ) all received some of their prominent initial exposure through Fergie’s show.

Today he is free to play how he wants and is not held back by perceptions and tags from the past and continues to be a global representative for electronic music by consistently breaking down underground barriers and bringing new music to the people, without compromise. He has never forgotten that it's still just a rave, a place where people are trying to escape the realities of urban life each and every weekend. A proven forward thinker, a trendsetter. Fergie has become a master of evolving his sound to keep one step ahead of the rest. Constantly developing and never standing still ...... for Fergie this is a way of life.
