Roy Malloy

The love for music started just before puberty set in. There he got inspired by rock music. AC/DC was the first band he really listened to. This was also his first concert ever. Shortly after Guns n Roses, Metallica, U2, Smashing Pumpkins and Red Hot Chili Peppers was all he listened to. A bit later the music got more intense. He started listening to bands like Rage Against the Machine, Sepultura, Machine Head, Pantera, Korn and Limp Bizkit. In his early 20's he took a more mellow path music wise. 60's music got his interest. Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, BB King, Bob Dylan, The Doors and his biggest hero's where and still are The Rolling Stones and Dire Straits/ Mark Knopfler. Then... May 10th 2003. Roy lives right next to Arnhem football stadium 'Gelredome' where a certain DJ 'Tiësto' performed. His mates all went and asked him along. He was so impressed with the show, the scene, the fans and his interest in dance music was born right there. Shortly after he stared to buy Tiësto albums. In Search of Sunrise 4 was the first dance album he bought and the interest in this music genre kept getting bigger and bigger. The following years a friend told him: 'You will never appreciate the skills of a DJ if you never DJ'ed yourself, because then you will truly know how hard it is and what it is all about'. With those words in mind he bought a 2nd hand set of turntables and a mixer and i got started. It took some time before it all went smooth and after a few months he really felt comfortable. Ever since then he played trance music exclusively but after hearing Dan Southward's radioshow 'Deep Senses Radio' early 2010 his interest in progressive house and deep house was there. This made quite some changes in his style but this made Roy more complete as a DJ. Later on he let other styles like tech-house and even techno slip between his sets just to keep things interesting. Early 2013 Roy's friend Dan Southward picked up on my progressive house sets. He heard how i improved my sound and he asked him to join forces and host his monthly show together. The name of the show is Deep Senses Radio. This was a great succes and Roy has been a part of the show ever since. The style of the show is Deep House, Progressive House, Tech-house, Minimal and Techno. January 2016 Dan decided to leave Deep Senses Radio and went solo with his own radioshow. Ever since the format of the show is a mix by Roy Malloy in the first hour and a guestmix by a different DJ in the second hour. Roy's broad taste in music is very noticeable in his sets and he is never afraid of trying out new things or just do his own thing. The only words that come to mind when describing Roy's sound is divers or different. In 2015 Dan Southward and Roy Malloy started out their own record label called D&R Digital.
