Haskell performed at CarFest, a\u00a0family music and motoring festival\u00a0in Hampshire.<\/p>\n
He uploaded a video of part of his set in which the 38-year-old can be seen playing to a huge crowd.<\/p>\n
He appears to be enjoying his new venture, as he admitted that having the chance to perform left him pinching himself.<\/p>\n
Haskell captioned the video: "This was a pinch myself moment! @Carfestevent, you were unreal. What a crowd!"<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He is able to play a number of different music genres, including house, tech house and techno.<\/p>\n
Haskell has also played in a number of different venues, such as Cafe Mambos in Ibiza to Soho Garden in Dubai.<\/p>\n
He is often priased for his sets and after CarFest had fans praising him on social media.<\/p>\n
One fan commented: "So awesome!"<\/p>\n

Vices? I love technology.<\/p>\n "I love diggers. My dream is to have a digger. JCB are going to lend me a tractor to drive to training for a week.<\/p>\n "If I die now, I have pretty much had a go at everything.
