We here at TRUANTS are ever expanding, always growing and from a couple of humble writers the blog has grown immensely and now houses a wonderful group of 11 dedicated music lovers, all bringing something new and exciting to the table. Our newest writer Will, whom were extremely happy to have on board, has already contributed to the Sunday’s Best posts in the past but we thought he rightly deserves a proper introduction before letting him at the reigns! Having started his DJ career at the beginning of 2000 under the alias Santero, his history is definitely a list of great achievements having played all over the country with the likes of Grandmaster Flash, Diplo, Claude Von Stroke and holding numerous long lasting residencies at clubs such as Stealth and The Bomb, in his home town of Nottingham. Proving that he can be more than just a excellent DJ he’s steadily been crafting his own creations for a while and its recently been paying off with a debut EP out on Sugar Beat Records, run by the fantastic Utah Saints, which you can buy here and a track forthcoming on Top Billin as one half of Jordan & Santero. As a starting gift he’s kindly passed on a track, a remix and a mix for us to share with you and with interviews with Altered Natives and possibly Martyn Ware lined up, its safe to say it’s going to be good having him around. Also if you get the time, you have to ask him the story of how he got the name Santero! It’s a good one.
