So to begin, let me tell you a little about myself. Born and raised in South London, my music 'career' began with me DJ'ing at school friends' parties. I continued as an operator/selector for a local sound, whilst simultaneously 'working' as a presenter on a series of unlicensed radio stations - Faze 1 FM, Switch FM, Rock 2 Rock and PowerJam. If you want to know more about me, you can drop me a line or visit my Facebook page.

Based at The Web Recording Studio in South London, I'm now the producer/engineer of UK Hip Hop, UK Garage, UK Dancehall & Urban Pop/R&B for a small collective whose aim is to bring good, dirty urban beats and spread the message - ''One Love, One Aim, One Big Party''.I'm always interested in hearing from musicians, vocalists, engineers and producers who might wish to collaborate on a track or project. If you're in or near South East London and are up for it, please contact me by phone or e-mail.

On the other hand, if you just like to listen to new, fresh and interesting music then feel free to browse through the 'Artists' Profiles' section where you can listen to your heart's content. If you hear anything you really like, why not contact me.

One love, Spy!

P.S. Don't forget to join my Facebook group too.

I'm a producer/engineer of UK Hip Hop, UK Garage, UK Dancehall & Urban Pop/R&B.

This is more of a production house/ideas arena than an artist/group (think Neptunes as opposed to N.E.R.D.), so I'm always on the look out for more talent.
