Alan MacPherson, started DJ'ing in 1998 and in 2004 started promoting club nights in Inverness under the name Frequency then to be audiolife with friend Darren Malley. At this time nowhere in Inverness accommodated or played the underground music they were trying to promote so creating their own night was the only option, aiming to give local DJs a platform to play on, already established DJ's headlined the nights and emerging DJ's played for the first hour.

Always looking to keep things different holding 3D party's with dedicated 3D visuals with everyone who attended wearing 3D glasses, nights with Fire dancers, Podium dancers and on one occassion money suspended inside balloons held above the dance floor and dropped onto the crowd at the end off the night. Lazers, extra lights and projected visuals became a standard for Audiolife nights. He also held a Charity gig along with Bakoo nightclub, supporting DJ's and public raised £1630 for Diabetes UK.
