Allister Whitehead’ DJing career started way back in 1987 at the tender age of 17, where he played all over his hometown of Nottingham. He eventually took up a residency at Nottingham’ Koolkat, where he could often be seen playing next to the ubiquitous Graeme Park on Saturday nights. It was during this period that his reputation began to spread. He moved on to become resident at the seminal Nottingham club Venus (also one of Sasha’ career making clubs). His big break came when Mike Pickering of M People asked Allister to cover his DJing slot at the Hacienda as he was on tour with the group. On the strength of this Allister was offered a residency. He achieved cult status at Golden, which was voted club of the year in 1993. This set the stage for a residency at Cream, where Allister found his largest following yet. At the same time his nationwide status was achieved at Ministry of Sound, Gatecrasher and just about every club in between. Having proved his worth as a premier league DJ Allister felt that it was time to set up his own club – Zero G in Nottingham. This regularly saw crowds of 1500+ as the only place you could see Allister DJ on a Saturday night and also saw Allister’ demand to play at other clubs go through the roof.
He was truly established as a household name worldwide with the Gold selling Fantazia Album ‘The House Collection Volume 3’ which was the biggest selling DJing compilation ever seen at the time. This opened up the floodgates to a new era where the dance music industry is dominated by Compilation sales. Since then, he has achieved 3 more Gold and 2 more silver albums with further compilations for Fantazia and Ministry of Sound.
