Maxs' World...starring, Bogart!

About Me

Well I've been messing having loads of fun with 2 turntables and a mixer for about 10 years now. Started mixing drumn'bass (from about 1995) and then big beat (breaks!)....totally messed up my school exams due to mixing practise rather than revision, but it was WORTH IT!!After school at 18 went backpacking round Oz for over a year and got into the house/tech scene (thank-you Kevin Saunderson!)...this really broadend my opinion on dance music and made me think I should never stick to one style.Since then I have been playing in pubs, clubs, weddings, fields, a lorry(!), house partys, forrests and more all around Norwich playing all styles, breaks, funk, jungle, house, dn'b, hip-hop, dub, ska, reggae, jazz, soul, chillout, broken beat, trip-hop, techno and lots more inbetween! I've also been lucky enough to warm up for Barry Ashworth (Dub Pistols), Matt Cantor (Freestylers) and played 3 times at the Breakbeat Weekender in Hemsby'06.Currently I have a twice monthly residency on a Tuesday @ Ponana in Norwich which I co-run with my mates (Bassics, Charged, Tritt, Blind Benny Walsh, Pocket Fox, Sinister Dexter and PlanC), it's called DSOB (Darker Shade Of Bass!). We play strictly dub, breaks and Dn'b all via an extra 5K Soundsystem as well as the inhouse one in the club so its fuckin loud!!Also every 2nd Sunday of the month me and my mate Ninelives run a Sunday gig at Bar Vinyl in Camden, London....and here we play anything and everything...you will never be unhappy there I promise!As well as that I'm a pretty cool geezer who just loves to have fun and make the most of life!

My Interests

Mixing, listening to music, buying vinyl- old and new, travelling, partying, being in the countryside, smelling the sea air, going for Sunday roasts with my mates, supporting Arsenal, reading, listening to my sis sing(myspace.com/lottemullan), winding my mates up!
