About Me

Hi everyone I'm a DJ/Promoter/Producer living in Sydney, Techno & Jungle being my major passion when it comes to party music. I previously played Drums, guitar & bass in punk/metal/ska bands in the UK & have been working on music this year again, tunes coming your way soon...I love all kinds of music, could rant on for hours...Been mixing for 9/10 years...Techno is now more where i am headed with a big Detroit & Birmingham influence production wise.... Moved to Sydney from London in '04 after spending my youth religiously attending free techno parties up & down the countryside & Europe, sound system culture for life! 4thQuadrant crew formed here in '05 - Four DJ's & an MC...Myself & DJ's/Producers Mode, Gotham, Reload, Dan Mic & MC D-Tech...All of different musical backgrounds bought together through our shared love of Jungle, out nights have always had a broad range of music going on though, anything bass heavy! We've worked hard promoting parties in Sydney & collaborating with all sorts of Sydney crews for the past 4 years, doing everything we can to help support & grow the scene here in our own way & all its wicked talent, energy and positivity.... In '07 4Q began hosting KONKRETE JUNGLE, the worlds longest running Jungle night (yes! it started before Movement!),started by Mac and TC Islam in NYC in '94, & since spread globally to over 30 cities including Tokyo, Barcelona, Las Vegas & L.A.... As well as promoting KONKRETE JUNGLE & events Wax'd,Rotation,Future Roots,Future Funk,Digital Soundclash etc in SYD we held residencies at Chinese Laundry & HOME nightclub, co-promoting with Fracture Factory & Jam Music, hosted weekly internet radio show ''Hip-Step'', started in NYC by Zulu Nation, Africa Bambatta & Tc Islam among others, showcasing local producers, DJ's and MC's in Sydney. Show is currently on hold until we find a suitable studio space... This Summer of 2008/2009 we've thrown massive Jungle Boat parties on Sydney Harbor, as well as trying to find time to get into the studio & write some music of course! Artists I've been blessed enough to play with over the last years include... HIGH CONTRAST, BLACK SUN EMPIRE, CALIBRE, KLUTE, SURVIVAL, CASPA, DYLAN, RAIDEN, TEMPER D, LIMEWAX, REMARC, CONCORD DAWN, STIVS & GHOST, ED RUSH & OPTICAL,THE UPBEATS,Q-BIK & KROMESTAR among others...
