Andy Duguid’s career took off in September 2006 when his production “Hypocrisy” was picked up by the mighty Tiesto. The support of the grand elite of DJ’s followed soon after that when Hypocrisy gained heavy support during sets from Paul van Dyk and Armin van Burren, and after being added to Tiesto’s playlist for many consecutive weeks. Being signed to Black Hole after the bidding war that followed, Hypocrisy was an instant club smash and simultaneously landed the career of Andy Duguid, instantly establishing a name for himself in the almost impregnable forest of producers in the scene as we know it today

The official follow up “Don’t Belong” virtually followed the same path, hailed by the industry as one of the biggest tracks of 2007. Don’t Belong initially got signed to one of the biggest compilation series globally, Tiesto’s In Search of Sunrise and it didn’t take long before Black Hole picked up the single for official release. Following the release of Don’t Belong, Andy’s creation, “Wasted” firmly placed Andy in the scene as one of the best.
