AIZI ROBINSON (From The Hoi Polloi)

I Started DJing at the age of 13, music was always a strong passion for me. I used to go to the youth clubs in my local area with my records, at the time it was Jungle Drum n Bass I was playing. I done a few shows on a local radio station called Transmission 1. In 96 the Jungle sound that had originally attracted me began to change and I found myself listening to Freek Fm and going to raves such as 'Exposure' at Linford Studios and 'Sun City' at Adrenalin Village so naturally I began to buy House n Garage records. I got my 1st big break in 97 when I met DJ EZ at a rave called 'Love Injection' in Picadilly Circus. I gave him a tape of me mixing and persistantly nagged him for about a month and he eventually hooked me up with a show on Freek Fm which was the best pirate Garage station at the time. I appeared on there under the name Dj Dymanite. At the age of 16 I was catching the last train to Finsbury Park, doing my (Graveyard shift) on the radio and catching the first morning train home. Around that same time me and my producing partner released our first record called Let Go/Got Myself Together. The record was signed to Most Wanted recordings and released individually as singles and went on to sell in excess of 13,000 copies and appeared on various compilation Cd's such as Garage Nation and Pure Garage. In 98 EZ moved to Kiss Fm and I took over his Saturday evening Freek Fm show. The third single I released was called Hungry Tiger which was in 2001 and around the time that Freek Fm stopped transmitting. From then til 2004 I floated around a few stations under the name D.Y.E but I felt that the music scene wasnt moving on. At the time I was reguarly playing at a Night Called 'Liberty' in studio 33. In between my sets I found myself in the House room, so I started buying House tunes originally just to listen to at home. I am now currently doing a show on Freeze Fm 92.7 (Freezefm.co.uk) every thursday 6-8 in the evening, Playing Soulful, Funky House and a touch of Old Skool Garage.
