The band name is the same as my dj name, which just kind of represents where my influence in music comes from, it's kinda allsorts of stuff played on turntables creating miles of music hours, (the latter music hours being played through Stanton cartridges on my turntable).
Started learning to mix in 1987 after seeing Stesh and Dave at Tiffany's in Newcastle 83-86, (I can almost 100% say that my entire enthusiasm for creating a smart sounding mix is because of those 2 people, ). Joined a band called New Avengers in 88, created a few tracks in a basic studio, (Geordie Rap / Hip - Hop).
I then moved on to a band called Mnemonics in 1994 creating a more trip hop sound, (still finding my feet really). During this transitional period i played on numerous restricted licence radio broadcasts, (WEB FM, The Buddle Broadcast, Gateshead RSL), providing 3 shows a week playing a range of genres.
I then joined a Rock / Indie band called Garret providing cuts and samples / sound effects to live performances all over the North East, we also recorded quite a bit and had an E.p. on sale called 'Dummy Run', which was fairly successful and well received.
In 2003 our songwriter moved, (check out 'Jim Musgrave' / 'Land Equivalents' pages), so I decided to make my own way after buying new equipment enabling me to be more versatile in my production style.
I still keep my hand in playin scratch/cut & paste sets at the likes of Popolo's, Secco, The Casino Club, Head of Steam, The Red Rooms, The Other Rooms & anythin else that's lucrative in Newcastle.
Check out my video's to see a vid of a scratch demo I made in 2004, it's lasted fairly well.
