Island DJ 為媽媽製作的混音作品登上英國排行榜

Levi Heron, a 29-year-old DJ from Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, has recently gained widespread attention for his remix of a song called The Glen by the Scottish band Beluga Lagoon. This remix was originally created as a birthday gift for his mother, Shona, who requested that he put his own spin on the track for her 50th birthday. Levi’s unique style, which he calls 'Cèil-tech,' blends traditional Ceilidh music with modern Techno beats, creating a sound that has attracted fans from all over the world. After posting a short video of the remix on TikTok, Levi’s music quickly went viral, earning millions of views within just two weeks. This sudden popularity led to a recording contract with Sony Records, and his remix is now climbing the UK Top 40 charts, currently sitting at number 34.

Levi’s journey into music began at a young age when he received his first DJ decks at eight years old. He started performing at local events in Stornoway but always dreamed of reaching a wider audience. Despite working in the fish farming industry, Levi never gave up on his passion for music. The success of his remix has allowed him to leave his previous job and focus entirely on his music career. Fans worldwide are not only listening to his remix but also creating dance videos inspired by its catchy rhythm. Levi describes the experience as 'unbelievable' and says it has been overwhelming to see how quickly his music has gained attention.

In recent weeks, Levi has had the opportunity to perform alongside some of Scotland’s biggest names in the rave scene. He is excited about future collaborations and plans to continue incorporating Scottish musical elements into his work, including traditional instruments like accordions and fiddles. Levi hopes to maintain the Scottish vibe that has brought him success so far. His story is an inspiring example of how talent, creativity, and a bit of luck can help someone from a small town reach a global audience.
