About Me


WHAT IS A BREAKS DJ ??
HERES MARK THE 45 KING, ONE OF THE ORIGINALS !! AND THEN ME AT MY LATEST BATTLE IN NEWPORT WALES.CHECK OUT THE NEEDLE DROPS (HOW QUICKLY WE FIND THE BREAKS IN THE RECORDS) GOOD PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY OR LOTS OF PRACTICE ??
AFTER BEING IN TO ALL THINGS FUNKY, I.E. EVERYTHING FROM CRAZY BARREL ORGAN 45'S TO SOUL, PORN FUNK, BLACKSPLOITATION SOUNDTRACKS, DEEP FUNK ECT FOR YEARS, EVENTUALLY CAME THE HIP HOP, 90S STUFF, LIKE THE A TEAM, RED HOT LOVER TONE, THOSE CYPRESS HILL BEATS, THE 45 KING, ANYTHIN WITH THOSE OLD DRUM SAMPLED PRODUCTION GOLD BOMBS.. AS LONG AS IT WAS FUNKY.
AFTER A BREIF COUPLE OF YEARS CLUBBIN AND DJING, TAGGIN WITH A GRAFF CREW, I LEFT BIRMINGHAM IN 1998 AND MOVED TO LONDON WHERE I DISCOVERED ONE OF MY HERO KEB DARGES DEEP FUNK NIGHT AT MADAME JO JO'S.I ALSO MET THE B BOYS AND POPPERS THERE WHO LED ME TO SCRATCH (AT THE CROSSBAR) AND BREAKIN BREAD, 2 OF LONDONS LONGEST RUNNING REAL HIP HOP CLUBS..
HERE I FIRST ENCOUNTERED BREAKS DJ LEACY, AND WONDERED WHY HE HAD ALL THESE INCREDABLE FUNKY BEATS I DIDNT KNOW !!
AT THE B BOY JAMS I THEN FOLLOWED HIM TO, I REALISED HE WAS MANUALLY RE EDITING THE BEST PARTS, THE MORE DANCEABLE BREAK IN THE RECORDS, FROM AFRO ROCK TO COUNTTRY AND WESTERN....LIKE THEY USED TO IN THE BRONX, LIVE WITH 2 COPIES OF THE SAME RECORD, BACK AND FORTH, LIKE FLASH, HERC AND OTHER MORE OBSCURES LIKE THEADORE (INVENTOR OF THE SCRATCH) AND HOLLYWOOD.LEACY HAD STRICT RULES HE KEPT TO, LIKE THE PIONEERS HAD TO DO.
AS B BOYS FOUND MY LITTLE FUNK AND HIP HOP NIGHT IN CAMDEN TOWN (THE ONLY HIP HOP EVENT IN THE AREA ALL THROUGHOUT THE DARK AGES OF THE INDIE WANNABE TOWNS HISTORY, APART FROM KUNG FU) IT WAS A NATURAL PROGRESSION FOR ME TO DEDICATE SOME OF MY TIME TO THE B BOYS AND THE DIGGING OF THE BREAKS !
I THEN MET MY MIDLANDS COMPARDRAE AND MASSIVLY ENCORAGEING FRIEND ROB LIFE FROM BREAKIN BREAD, AND JOINED FORCES WITH THROWDOWN, 2 OF LONDONS BIGGEST B BOY BATTLE SPECIFIC NIGHTS, WHERE I MET ANOTHER INSPIRATION, MR JUST 1, AS WELL AS CHARLIE, DONNA D AND DJ AND GRAFF ARTIST FROM SUPA DOOPA CREW HERSE.I WAS HOME AT LAST.....IN 2007 I WAS ASKED BY DJ CREDIT ONE TO JOIN FORCES WITH HIM AND B BOY UFOE AND TO RE LAUNCH TUFF STUFF CREW, ORIGINALLY STARTED IN 1982.WE HAVE NOW GONE FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH, AND HAVE RECRUITED THE CREAM OF UK LONDON BASED B BOY DJS TO FORM AN ELITE ALLIANCE, DJ MEMBERS ARE PRESIDENT CREDIT ONE, ROB LIFE FROM BREAKIN BREAD, TUFF CUT FROM BREAKIN BREAD, DJ PRONE FROM BATTLEJAM, AND DJ FREEZIE FROM SET IT OFF.WE ALSO HAVE 10 B BOYS WHO WON THE FIRST BATTLE THEY ENTERED AND ARE THIS YEARS BATTLEJAM BRIGHTON REIGNING CHAMPIONS SO WATCH THIS SPACE..WE ALSO HAVE WELCOMED BRAZILLIAN PERCUSSION DUO TUC & MEL TO THE CREW, AS THEY DEVOTE A LOT OF TEIR TIME TO PLAYING FOR B BOY BATTLES, LIVE HARD FUNK DRUMMING AND PURE RAW TALENT, CHECK THEIR MYSPACE...
