How about.... NO MATE

About Me

29, 5"3, Producer/DJ from sunny Swindon...I've been DJ'ing now for around 10 years, started with a crappy set of Numark Belt Drives mixing Happy Hardcore (!) and slowly made the progression into Commercial House and then into Trance, and now into Electro House (with a bit of Trance on the side!) ------------------- I had played around the town (Steam Railway, BrunelRooms, Vadim's) until a few years back when i stupidly let work come before play, and lost an oh-so valuable warm up slot. After a year's break i decided to start writing and after investing in a low spec PC and a friend recommending Reason, i got stuck in, "in the studio". ----------------------------------------------18 months later i had 3 completed CD's, around 30 finished tracks (varying in quality), had some good feedback from Judge Jules and started writing a new album. That's pretty much us up to date, apart from the local DJ sets i've had this in 2007 for BOSH, Sequential, and Elektrophonik.I love clubbing, havin' it hard on the dance floor and rockin things from the DJ booth!My inspirations are currently;- Jesse Garcia - Klaas - Miles Dyson - Olav Basoski ------------------------------------------------------------ -----I owe a lot to Nick Fisher (Bongoplaying DJ) He absolutely rocks with his DJ / Bongo thing and gives me such great support. Cheers Mucka. Along with my wonderful girlfriend Natalie, and all the lads, Aaron, Andy, Marc, Nathan (OZ), Kev, Scatty Natty, The Chief, Jamesy, Noga, Nath Dogg, Willard, Dunny, the list goes on...Keep supporting the local event teams!! Elektrophonik, BOSH, INM8, Stray, Kandifunk.... They're all such talented people and keep this town pumping out the nights... ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------If you see me out, come and say ello... It's wicked to network with other like minded party people!!See you at the front of the dancefloor!!!

It was painful... but i finally did it!

Well... i'd always said i wanted to give up smoking... and after doing it for 10 frickin years it was about time. I had several influences (i won't elaborate) but with the help of "Zyban" tablets, i'v...
