About Me

Used to live near Guildford but have now moved to the East coast.Haven't dj-ed in a couple of years although that hasn't stopped me continuing to buy vinyl. Am now beginning to write songs in my little 'studio' and am nearing the halfway stage on a music producer course in City College.

Mista Sureshot!

The incredible supa-deejay, master of records and turntablist supreme. Likes Chicken & Mushroom Pot Noodles.

REPO136

The original ghetto bad boy, never without his Magic Marker and headphones. Prefers Original Curry Pot Noodles.

Benzini

The producer, arranger and programming maestro, treating each track produced as if it's his last (before supper). Laments the passing of the Bacon Sizzler flavour Pot Noodle.

Also special mention to the following:

Sounds Like: Someone who is still experimenting. No real standout genre as yet but to give some boundaries, expect something within the realms of hip hop / funk / funky breaks / house / downtempo / jungle.
Record Label: The legendary & fictionalBenzini Recordings
