This Is Bruce This_is_Bruce, known to his friends and family as Luke Bruce, is an aspiring EDM/house DJ from Bedfordshire. At only 19 years old he has already spent two summers on the Ibiza circuit as an avid follower of EDM and house music, meeting huge names in the process. His passion has also taken him across the channel to France, regular trips to London and travelling the festival season. It was this passion for EDM and house music that acted as the final push in the decision to leave university. It was a natural progression that Luke found himself remixing his favourite artists and setting up a small home studio. Since November 2013 he has practised and built up an array of mixes and sets in preparation for gigging in the near future. In fact, as we speak, Luke has just performed his first gig in Bedford as a support act for a local DJ. He is a naturally talented individual with a great ear for what sounds great and is destined for big things.
