About Me

Owner and director of Red Ant Records, dj, producer and remixer. Born East London 1969, grew up in South West London, awarded scholarship to City of London Grammar School at 11, got expelled at 15, went bezerk for a couple of years, doing numerous jobs and getting fired from them all, started a band with my best mate Hobbsy, did a couple of decent gigs, until acid house swept the nation and myself up. Started djing in 89, started producing records in 91, lived in central London, djing across the whole of the UK and Europe, til I moved to Tampa in 1998, and set up my studio in Florida. I have dj'ed in many fantastic places, the highlights probably being E-Werk Berlin in 96, Groovejet Miami in 97, Ministry London in 91/92, Amnesia Ibiza in 96, and Capetown at a 20,000 person rave for the new millenium.... I Have released over 80 records, and remixed over 25 for all kinds of different labels, basically, I make money doing what I love, which is very cool, and I do often try and remind myself how lucky I am.....I travel incessantly, which is great, but can be lonely, esp when stuck in a strange place with a throbbing head..... Vinyl junkie, love spice, of all varieties, love a good Belgian beer, and like a girl who can tell a joke properly. Can play drums and guitar, although cannot read music.. Dont need much sleep or much encouragement to get into mischief, think that the British do everything better, which they do, can make the best curry this side of the pond....Complain a lot, which means Im having fun, poke fun at people, which means I like you, have a wicked sense of humour, and can drink for England....Loyal lover and friend, not great at relationships, but working on it.... Wandering around planet earth, making music, having fun.. ..

My Interests

Music of course, playing guitar, cooking, soccer, tennis, having my feet tickled, restoring and selling classic cars,reading on aeroplanes, the art of seduction.....

Wine drinker and lover of good food, no-one overly spritual and astrologically driven,(and doesnt wanna stay up later than I do, which is pretty late) No strippers or psychos please...
