DJ Smurf / Geordie Gabba Mafia

About Me

Member of Newcastle's infamous beer swigging party animals, the Geordie Gabba Mafia from Newcastle, England.
1980's
Listening to Adam & The Ants which progessed into electro & hip hop - Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Run DMC, Big Daddy Kane and De La Soul.
Heard 'acid house' for the first time on the radio in 1987 & 'house music' bring combined with hip hop to create hip house. Slowly drifted away from hip hop and started being eacid house and early techno records
1990
Went to my first warehouse party on my own called Butterloggie in Middlesbrough. Over the year saw the likes of Nightmares On Waz, Lenny Dee, Shamen, Guro Josh, Raze and local superstars of the time DJ Huey & MC Lee, Zero B 7 Hooligan X.
1991
Went to various big raves around the UK including Raindance, Fantazia, Holocaust, Time, Amnezia & the first Rezerection party's in Newcastle.
1991
Prefered the harder european techno/rave sound to all the UK breakbeats and piano's. Got my first turntables and started spending £50 every week on new records
1992
Played at a few party's around the North East of England, mainly pubs/house party's1993
The european sound started to get faster and harder. 'Gabber' music coming from Rotterdam was my new love !
1994
Played my first 'real gig' at Judgement Day in Whitley Bay, near Newcastle alongside my hero, Lenny Dee
1994 - 1999
Played at all the UK's hardest clubs and party's, with a residency at Judgement Day in Newcastle & Nosebleed in Scotland.
1998
Produced my first trax on Amiga and had my first release on DJ Freaks UK label Hard Of Hearing (number 8, GGM v Extrement) with further releases in 1999 & 2000 on the Killout Compilation's on Suburban Trash and a release on Strike Records - Newcastle (UK) v Newcastle (Australia), which became a big hit and has since been repressed twice.
2000 - 2004
International bookings in Germany, Canada, USA, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Holland
2004
Play at the worlds most famous hardcore party, Thunderdome, to 10,000 people in the small room at 7 in the morning !
2005
International bookings almost every week including - Hellbound, Masters Of Hardcore, Megrave v Hellrasier, Multigroove, Beter Kom Je Neit, Nightmare In Rotterdam (Outdoors) and many many more !
2006
Take over running Judgement Day from Bass Generator. Cant get a venue in Newcastle so find a new home in Scotland and bring many intnernational artists to the UK/Scotland for the first time, including Endymion, D-Passion, Sonic Overkill, The Speedfreak, Peaky Pounder, Angerfist, Human Resource, Noisekick, Rob Gee, Stickhead, Art of Fighters and many more !
