Born into a family of church organists, for Doug Loch the dancefloor has always been the place of worship. From his formative years as a classically trained pianist and guitarist, he found his tribe at Manchester’s Haçienda, shaping a sound that sits at the intersection of musical composition and dancefloor movement and reflecting his musical mantra: equal emphasis on melody and rhythm. Doug Loch operates in the outer, melodic reaches of progressive house. His background as a musician ensures a strong melodic core, while decades raving and DJing create solid focus on groove. That same background is now driving the development of a hybrid live set, extending his original productions beyond the DJ booth and leveraging his musical ear and improvisation skills. Doug performed at the UK's GIVE festival in 2024 and 2025, and at ADE in 2025. He hosts a monthly People Like Us radio show on Data Transmission Radio UK and has a forthcoming remix for UK label Prognosis.
