About Me


Howdy,
I am a London based DJ / Promoter / Writer / Artist Manager / Booking Agent / Music PR Type Person.
I used to run a promotions company called Furthur , which was fun and over the course of 6 years we put on over 200 clubnights and gigs ranging from cupboard sized parties to 1500+ capacity monster raves. When this stopped being fun I set up And Now Hear This , an artist booking agency and event management consultancy.
Away from this you can normally find me DJ'ing most weeks at various clubs in London. I am currently a resident at Be at Proud in Camden, The Last Days Of Disco in Shoreditch and I Love Acid at Ginglik in Shepherds Bush. If I'm not playing at one of these you'll often find me playing everything from disco to punk to electronica to hip-hop at venues such as Punk, Cargo, The Dogstar, Herbal and anywhere with a good soundsystem and friendly crowd.
When not playing in clubs, I'll often quite sadly be found writing about them for people such as Slutty Fringe , LeCool and Kultureflash .
If any of the above makes you want to contact me, then drop me a line here .
Here's some flyers of places I'm playing at soon...
And here's the book that I had a part in writing (a pretty small part), it's great, go buy it.
