I STARTED MY INTEREST IN MUSIC IN THE MID 80..S WITH PLENTY OF ELECTRO TAPES FLOATING AROUND AT SCHOOL SOON TO FOLLOW THESE WERE THE EARLY RAVE MIX TAPES FROM THE LIKES OF SWAN-E, TOP BUZZ, GROOVERIDER, SLIPMATT ETC. AFTER MUCH TAPE SWAPPING AND DUBBING I SOON FOUND MYSELF COMPLETELY TAKEN AWAY BY THIS NEW ERA OF MUSIC.

AS LUCK WOULD HAVE I SOON DISCOVERED THAT A COUPLE OF GUYS ROUND MY WAY HAD SOME TURNTABLES SO WE USED TO HIJAK THESE GUYS AND GO MESS AROUND AND KNOCK UP WHAT WE THOUGHT WERE THE BEST MIX TAPES WITH WHATEVER VINYL WE COULD LAY OUR HANDS ON .. WHAT SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY OF PRACTICE I GRADUALLY STARTED TO MASTER THE ART OF MIXING AND NOW BITTEN BY THE BUG I STARTED TO PURCHASE WHATEVER VINYL MY BUDGET WOULD ALLOW ME TO. AFTER A LOT OF VERY HARD SAVING I WASTED NO TIME BUYING MYSELF A PAIR OF DECKS AND A MIXER AND REALLY STARTED TO GET IN AS MUCH PRACTICE AS POSSIBLE TO PERFECT MY SKILLS.

AS THE UNDERGROUND MUSIC SCENE CONTINUED TO GROW AND GROW I FOUND MYSELF GOING OUT AND ABOUT ALL AROUND THE UK TO UNDERGROUND PARTIES TO GET THAT PARTY ATMOSPHERE. AS THE UNDERGROUND MUSIC SCENE STARTED TO SPLIT IN DIFFERENT CATAGORIES I FOLLOWED DOWN THE JUNGLE/DRUM & BASS ROAD AS I FOUND MY LOVE WAS FOR THIS STYLE WITH ITS BIG BAD BASSLINES.

AS THINGS PROGRESSED NICELY I STARTED TO DO SOME PART TIME WORK IN MY LOCAL RECORD SHOP WHICH AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT WAS OWNED BY THE INFAMOUS DJ SWAN-E. WE INSTANTLY STRUCK UP A GOOD FRIENDSHIP WHICH THEN PROGRESSED INTO DRIVING HIM AROUND THE COUNTRY PRETTY MUCH EVERY WEEKEND WHICH GAVE ME AN INSIGHT INTO THE WORLD OF THE WORKING DJ.

A FEW YEARS LATER PEOPLE STARTED TO TAKE NOTICE OF MY SKILLS WHICH HELPED ME SECURE A WEEKLY SHOW ON LOCAL PIRATE RAW FM WHICH I PLAYED ON FOR 6 YEARS THEN MOVING INTO THE EVER GROWING WORLD OF INTERNET RADIO, AS WELL AS PLAYING AT VARIOUS OTHER EVENTS AROUND THE GLOBE.
