Waking up with Wogan

About Me

heavily baked, nicely toasted and slightly caramelisedFinally back with a new track. Been neglecting my page recently (sorry guys... what's left of you) but i'm now on top of things now i've found a reliable host for my tracks.Introducing the BEST way to make chocolate:

And a variable platter of random of Random Bleeps:

My Interests

hiding and burning things

I'd like to meet:

anyone who can show me how to link my chirps with my lazers... it's killing me. Oh, and Terry Wogan

Music:

Breakbeat, Tech House, DnB, everything nowadays.Unlike other's who "don't have time to listen to music on myspace".... I do and I enjoy new sounds. If you would like me to have a listen to your work, send me a note and I'll make sure that I give it a thorough spanking through a decent set of cans before making a comment.Introduced to the hardcore scene back in the dawn of the 90's and got sucked in like any young and impressionable kid would do.Years down the line and it seems I’m still spinning the same old beats and samples bound to the bedroom, just with a little more accuracy.After a couple of seasons with Manumission I sent myself back to school in 03/04! This time I actually listened and walked away with some kind of bazaar qualification in Audio Engineering and a new pair of ears.Breaks are my hair raiser though. Techy, intelligent, big production, progressive Breaks House and D n'B.Nutshell: anything that is generally pleasing on the ear. Classic, Jazz, Soul, Rock, Pop... whatever. the years are widening the horizons.If I get told to "put my hands up for Detroit" one more time I'm gonna start hurting small animals.

Movies:

.... erm, nope! can't remember any

Television:

is the one eyed monster that will be the death of us all.actually, did you say television?

Books:

last book I read was Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy, i'll never read again

Heroes:

Paul and Neil of Leftfield, Chris Healings and Mike Truman of Hybrid, Adam Freeland, Mike Shinoda, Axl Rose, DJ Craze, IEmerg, QBert, Mike Oldfield, James Zabelia, Liam Howlett and Keith Flint of The Prodigy, my Dad, Lee Rous and Andy Gardner of the Plump Dj's, Fischerspooner, Laurent Garnier, Adam F, Robert Smith, Mike Claire Andy and Dawn of Manumission, John B, Dave Seaman, and everyone else who has given me inspiration, made me shed a tear or helped me take male pattern baldness by the horns.

First shot....

Check out the MP3 !!!! This was the result of one of those mad all-night studio sessions at the Midi. After a year, it's still work in process with the rest of pretty much everything else I plan to ac...

All hail the D:2....

Finally, I've given my DJM600 a rest from the battering it has received over the last few years. Not only do the faders bleed so bad that its hard to tell what channel is assigned to which but the tel...
