In an Oversized nutshell:-
I discovered my love for Hardcore back in 1995 (when it was good), i had purchased my first ever tape pack (Dance Paradise) and i buzzed solid off EVERY tape. Especially the Clarkee and Brisk tapes. I knew that this was more than love, it was more of a dirty seedy lust, even a passion.
Fast Forward 4 Years:-
When i was younger i always wanted to be a DJ. I didnt know what music id want to actually play, as long as i rocked the dancefloor! After being in love with all sorts of Hardcore (music, magazines and films haha) i found myself getting tired of the same old anthems being bashed by every buggar, so i saved up moneys from my weekend job at Ride-A-Bike (cycle shop not a w***e house), and eventually had enough to get some wanky Sound Lab belt drives! I loved them! My mums mate, who was a Trance DJ at the time, lent me a massive handful of tunes and, whether i liked em or not, i attempted to mix them. This not only broadened my mind on what other music was out there, but also learnt the art of mixing. I remember yelling my mum upstairs when i finally pulled off 2 mixes, Nelly The Elephant into Atb - Till i come, followed by Ian M - The Dreamer!! I was loving it and so was me mam,hahaha! From there on my vinyl addiction grew...................
Spending every and any penny on tunes i had soon built up a huge collection of Gabber & Speedcore. I loved the harder side of music back then....it was just soooooo........ORIGINAL! I then realised i had to save up for Technics if i was going to be serious about DJing. So save i did. Working whenever i could. After school, weekends and doing shitty odd jobs for neighbours and family members!
FINALLY...
In the summer of 2002 i had enough money to get the lovely wheels of steel i had only dreamed of countless nights before! We saw an Advertisement in the paper that a bloke was selling some Technics 1210's in Hartlepool for fairly cheap so my mother dear made the mission with me to get them!
STYLES:-
once getting the hang of mixing on a descent set of decks i had realised that the music i played (Gabber & Speedcore & DnB) wasnt actually entertaining the crowds in anyway(unfortunatly). So i turned to Bouncy Techno, which was such an intelligent move it was unbelievable. I made a few tapes and sent them around, unfortunatly the bigger boys doing gigs in Barton wouldnt give me a chance, although i was more than compitent enough to pull off an hours mix! It wasnt till March 2003 when a friend of my sister (Matty D) said he was going to put on a little shindig in a nearby village and wanted me to play!
RENEGADE:-
After playing at Matty's first night he asked me to help him out run the event because i had help get so many people there! So over the next 3 years Matty & Myself would turn Renegade from a little event for locals to an event that attracted people from Lincoln, Nottingham, Doncaster, Sheffield...all to lovely Barton Upon Humber, Goxhill, Ulceby and Caistor. I loved running the event with matty, and meeting new people and DJs & MCs id looked up to all this time! It wasnt until March of 2006 i decided to leave the running of Renegade solely to Matty. There was some speculation over my decision to do this as many people thought Matty and i had a lovers tiff, but we never did! I had run into a few money troubles and was dealing with some w**k arse problems at home, amongst other things i had way tooooooooo much on this little plate of mine!
BACK TO CONCENTRATING ON ME:-
My decision to leave Renegade had given me a hell of alot more time to concentrate on my own DJing career and to get into Producing Music properly!
TripleXL ... The Producer:-
I wanted to learn production for one reason, to make GOOD FUN music! I wanted to cover all genre's of music but especially Bouncy Techno, Makina & Gabber. I had taken me roughly 8months to slap together my first 2 tune tunes, Stab Ya Hoover & My Arse Is Hungry For Love, and, to my disbelief and amazement, these were played out at events across the country by DJs such as Martin Space, Paul-O & Smash. I thought to myself, this is FANTASTIC. I had never thought anybody would like anything i made and would probably put my tunes down to a "learning curve", which i suppose from my point of view it was.
After succeeding in getting the Bouncy Techno sound just how i liked it, i took what i had learnt making that and moved onto learning my predomenant genre...Makina!
In April 2007, After about a year, my first full Makina tune was signed to a UK based "Makina" label, Force 10. Finally it was a dream come true i didnt think things could get any better, but then followed 2 more of my makina productions, Accelerated(made especially for Force 10 & the North East crowd) & HyperVibe anthem(made for one of the best new events in north lincs & a truly awesome crowd)
