"My precence and skills have held me back from the success I deserve as certain people have felt threatened that I may steal the show"!!! DJin for 9 years now, Producing for 2... Bradley Brown first took to the wheels of steel during the summer of 1998. With no real musical direction it was purely by chance that a local friend happened to be selling an old pair of Souunldlab DLP1 belt driven turntables. At the time Bradley was a tender 17 working as a Picker at a local Warehouse when he used his first pay cheque to pay for the £300 set up including mixer. ‘I used to listen to recordings from pirate radio stations as early as 1994 when the whole Jungle/Hardcore thing was going on. It always baffeld me as to how the DJ would keep the music on a continuous flow and the music really touched me sending tingles up my spine. I thought how marvellous it would be to control those amazing sounds’. It was this curiosity that led a young Bradley to make his purchase with a hard earned £300. It was around the era of the early UK Garage scene that Bradley started buying his first pieces of Vinyl, with no idea how two records where put together and with no guidance he stood in his Bedroom for hours on end trying to find some kind of Logic to his new hobbie. ‘I started out by putting the two records at zero on the pitch adjust, lining up the labels so the logos were both facing me and releasing them simultaneously. Obviously this did not work and after around 2 months of trying I finally found that releasing the first beat of one record at the start of the Bar of the other was the magic formula. Beat matching and Pitch adjustment was a different ball game but I got the hang of it in the end and within 12 months I taught myself how to mix two records!’ As time past so did Bradley’s DLP1’s and he upgraded to the industry standard Technics 1210’s. Along with this transition came the ability to read and manipulate vinyl in a devastating manor with furious pace, precision and creativity so unique you would think he was veteran of the game. Bradley truly has a natural talent for music and stands apart from the rest in a big way. His style is now largely based on a lust for the perfect sound reproduction. He has mastered the use of computer processed effect boards and battle mixing which is incorperated into a his performance's. All he craves now is for his audience to hear to his sound as crisp and clean as possible and this is largely down to the way he engineers his sound. ‘When I first started out I was playing UK Garage as this is what I was feeling at the time. I went through all genres from Four to the Floor, 2 Step and finally the more Break Beat, Dub Step stuff’. ‘This was for the first 4 years then I moved on to House as Garage pretty much died with all the bad publicity surrounding it’. ‘I kept it true to my style with House playing it ‘Big’ with deep Sub-Bass lines and crisp percussion. I have kept this going until this day and regularly produce Tech House too. At one festival called Homelands in 2002 I also rediscovered Drum & Bass and rediscovered my roots, the whole reason I got into this game in the first place!’ ‘Since then my colour pallet has opened up even more and DnB has unlocked a whole new passion for me. Playing the Jump Up, Hard and Soulful stuff I love all aspects of DnB and the fact that this is British music born in London and well established for well over 15 years now makes me even more proud to be part of the now International Drum & Bass community’. ‘Although I am not restricted to one style of music playing many styles of House, Garage & Hip Hop, Drum & Bass is what I have passion for right now and this what you will hear me playing at most of my gigs which have included many well established night clubs & venues including Ministry Of Sound (Bar & Baby Box), The End (Lounge), Turnmills (Main), Brixton Acadamy (Lobby), Scala (Main), KoKo (Bar), Hidden (Main), One92One (Main) as well as various musically orientated bars and venues in and around the City as well as travelling to Kavos, Greece every summer to perform.
‘I have been playing professionally in venues now since around 2000 and am currently focusing on production. I manage a record label founded by myself named B.O.D.Y.B.E.A.T Productions which I also use as my promotions alias too where I organise and promote parties in Bars and Venues around London.
‘In all I hope to pioneer my own sound in the studio and push the DnB and House & Garage scene’s further and add some sunshine into peoples lives as well as building a name for myself within in the dance music culture.
I would like to make it clear that got into this game for the love of music NOT for money, fame or because of any other outside influences!I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
