At the tender age of 14, Wax:On resiednt TC Monckton, one half of production duo Hacksaw, was little more than a cheeky Leeds raggamuffin, pestering bewildered London shop owners for the latest rare Jungle releases while his Dad patiently waited outside... ten years on and he is beginning to make serious waves throughout the North East and beyond, cutting it alongside some of the biggest names in dance music.

Since arriving in Newcastle, TC has played along names as varied as Tiesto, Layo and Bushwacka! Dexter, Groove Armada, 2 Many DJs, Tom Middleton and Plump DJs. After demonstrating his versatility in front of massive crowds at Arcane (Newcastle University's all night termly bonanza) TC has settled comfortably into his own unique style of DJing, smoothly blending twisted electronic house with dark and dirty breakbeat.

Teaming up with Paul Johan as 'Hacksaw', his latest production efforts, “The Dawn” and “Uber”, typify TC Monckton's futuristic DJing style which embodies an enviable grasp of what’s hot on white label combined with recognisable vintage techno, Bristol and house sounds. Its this unique style of blending beats that has seen him play, not only his long running Wax:On residency, but also venues which will make any would be or established DJ envious. In fact his guest spot at the legendary ‘We Love’ night at Space in Ibiza is still talked about by those who were lucky enough to be there. 

TC draws influences from all forms of popular music from the last decade fusing them together with tough and gritty broken beats. Constantly striving to add surprises and memorable moments to his DJ sets, TC also has a formidable arsenal of his own private bootlegs certain to get any crowd roaring.
