About Me
Welcome to the DJROOSTAH website!!!I've been listening to Drum&Bass/Jungle since 1996, when I was originally blown away by LTJ BUKEM's mixing and tunes and the whole Good Looking Organisation Recordings sound and ethos, GOLDIE's "Inner City Life"and RONI SIZE & REPRAZENT's "New Forms".
The first DJ I saw live was KENNY KEN at Timepiece in Exeter in 1997, and I have been avidly listening to and attending D&B/Jungle gigs ever since, including the JUNGLE CARNIVAL 2001 in LONDON, LTJ BUKEM & MC CONRAD at Timepiece & The Phoenix in Exeter, RONI SIZE & REPRAZENT at BRIXTON ACADEMY, LONDON ELEKTRICITY, HIGH CONTRAST, DJ's MARKY&PATIFE at GLASTONBURY Festival 2005 and so on....
I started DJing in September 2002, just after finishing university, and love to mix Esoteric Jungle and D&B, namely Ambient/Atmospheric D&B, Jazz & Ragga Jungle, Liquid Funk & Latin/Brazillian D&B, Dubwise and Cosmic D&B, Old School Jungle classics and Old Skool Hardcore.
I first started playing out, after DJing at local house-parties, when I played a couple of Private Parties at HARPOON LOUIE's in Taunton and the HAVANNA club in Exeter in 2004. I mixed with DJ's DREADSTRIPE & DIGGAZ at the NORTH BRIDGE INN in Exeter, playing a mix of Dub Reggae/Funky Jazz Hop/Atmospheric&Jazz Jungle/80's Electro & 70's Rock every 2 weeks from June til September 2006.
I also DJ'd exclusively for 5 hours at the PLYMOUTH UNIVERSITY-"ORGANIC ARTS" Art Exhibition in Ide (just outside Exeter) on 12th June 2006.
I played at Exeter's Top D&B night D&B/Jungle night, "EVOLUTION" at the CAVERN club in Exeter in February 2006, and again at the EVOLUTION "6TH BIRTHDAY Back2Back Special" Night on the 28th July 2006, and have also Headlined 2 Nights with BACKWARDS BEATS at ZEPHYRS Bar in May 2005 and at THE HUB on 29th July 2006.
On August 3rd 2006 I started my own regular Live Internet Radio Show; "INTO THE RAINFOREST", on www.ukbassradio.co.uk which was recently voted the best Internet-Radio website in the UK/World in the 1Xtra D&B awards 2007.I have been performing on UKBASSRADIO every Thursday evening from 6:45pm-8pm, broadcasting through-out the UK and around the world live. I have had listeners from as far afield as Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Russia, Slovakia, Greece, Canada, America, Holland, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, and France.
I've recently moved to Lampeter in Wales, and have played regularly at LAMPETER UNIVERSITY since 2006, as well as playing at THE BAY and BACKBEATING's Reggae Night in Aberystwyth.I became president of the Lampeter University DANCE MUSIC SOCIETY in January 2007, and have subsequently put on 4 "D.M.S." nights, called "RevolutionZ", & a night called "SOUNDCLASH" (in conjunction with Lampeter MOBO Society), at THE XTENSION"---------------------------------------------------
