About Me

Helloo.
Welcome to my page. I'm from Norn Iron but I left it for university in Southampton, England in 1994. And I stayed.
I'm a very part-time DJ and promoter and until January '05 was in a band called Tracer, but I left. One day I might join/start another. I play bass. Any offers?
I also used to run a club night called nEAR dARK at the Talking Heads and Mr Cavey Nik from Dead and Buried, London was my co-dj. I also co-djed with him at his night Dancefloor Poison in Portsmouth.
I DJed at Metal Nation with DJs Narky and Nova, Meltdown with DJ Pestilence and finally EMANATE (www.myspace.com/emanateclub) with DJ Pestilence then Altski - all at Unit22 in Southampton. I also DJ once in a while as part of Heathers goth night at the Hobbit with Spooks. On Feb 22nd 2008 I started co-djing at a new goth/industrial night at Sound Circus in Bournemouth called Possession with Pete Scathe.
I also very occasionally guest at Autonomy in Leicester and have been known to do the odd guest slot at club nights in Belfast, Basingstoke, Bournemouth, London, Portsmouth, Infest and even one in Norway. Give me a shout if you want me to do a set at your night :).
I play mainly industrial, EBM, synthpop, alt dance and a bit of powernoise, but also goth and gothy stuff
"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!"
-Master Pratchett.
