WAD, formerly known as Technisia, is a 25-year-old DJ and producer from Liverpool whose journey has been driven by a genuine love for music. From his beginnings in the city's underground techno scene in 2023 to developing his own groove-led house sound, WAD has built a career both behind the decks and in the studio.
As the founder of Blurred Records, he has created a platform for six resident DJs while taking his music from Liverpool venues and festivals across the UK to the clubs of Ibiza. His story is one of building opportunities, evolving creatively and staying true to the music.
THE BEGINNING
Music has always been a huge part of WAD's life. From a young age, he was fascinated by sound and would regularly receive musical instruments as birthday and Christmas presents. What started as a childhood passion grew into a determination to build a career behind the decks.
WAD officially entered the DJ scene in 2023, initially making his mark within Liverpool's underground techno circuit. Early bookings at North Shore Troubadour, Meraki and WAV, including a support slot for Jason Cluff, gave him the opportunity to establish himself within the city's electronic music scene.
He went on to perform at the Invisible Wind Factory and Club 051, while bookings in Edinburgh, Bangor, Pontypridd and Cardiff saw his name begin to travel beyond Merseyside. But WAD wasn't satisfied with simply playing shows.
FINDING HIS SOUND
In 2024, WAD made the decision to step away from regular bookings and dedicate more time to production. That period became a turning point.
Experimenting in the studio helped him move away from his earlier techno sound and discover a style that felt more natural: groove-led, energetic house music influenced by his roots and the sounds that first inspired him.
Time spent developing his production skills and understanding his own musical identity ultimately changed the direction of his career.
BUILDING BLURRED RECORDS
Alongside his own journey, WAD wanted to create opportunities for other artists. That vision became Blurred Records.
Starting from nothing around three years ago, he built Blurred Records into a collective and events brand with six residents, creating a platform where DJs could develop, perform and grow together.
What began as a small idea in Liverpool has taken the Blurred Records name outside the city, across the UK and to Ibiza. For WAD, it isn't simply a brand. It represents the journey itself: starting with nothing, building a team and creating opportunities rather than waiting for them.
THE NEXT CHAPTER
As his sound developed, so did his opportunities. WAD went on to support Alan Fitzpatrick at District in Cardiff before making his festival debut at Together Again Fest, appearing on a lineup featuring Danny Howard, D.O.D, Lovely Laura, Richy Ahmed, Alisha, LP Rhythm and Joss Dean.
That momentum took the journey beyond the UK, with Blurred Records making its first steps into Ibiza and WAD continuing to build his reputation as an artist and founder.
IBIZA
In September 2025, WAD took his sound to Ibiza for the first time, performing at H2O Ibiza, Ibiza Rocks Bar, Plastiks and Linekers Bar. It marked the beginning of his journey on the island and brought his music to one of the world's biggest electronic music destinations.
He returned the following year and achieved another milestone with his Eden Ibiza debut.
His 2026 plans also included a boat party scheduled for 20 September alongside one of Ibiza's major boat-party brands, building on the journey that began in Liverpool.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Three years after entering the scene, WAD's journey has taken him from Liverpool's underground venues to performances across the UK, support slots for major artists, a festival debut, a developing production sound, and the creation of a record and events collective with six residents.
Between shows, he continues to release music and mixes through SoundCloud while developing his house sound and building a growing following.
For WAD, the journey is still only beginning. From the kid who couldn't get enough of music to the DJ, producer and founder of a six-resident record label, the goal has always remained the same: keep creating, keep progressing and see how far the music can take him.
