About Me

I am a DJ playing soul, funk, jazz, house, disco and generally quality nightclub music throughout the boudoirs, barndances and beano's of this fine land. I'm part of DEEPDOWN MUSIC (www.deepdownmusic.co.uk), a collective in the North East of England who are probably best known for our 'Love Boat' parties in the River Wear in Durham City. I also play at the North West's finest soul soundclash ON HUBERT STREET, which is always a treat and a musical education rolled into one. We now run our own night DEEPDOWN at Dunelm House which is essentially Durham Students Union and looks set to be the location for a great deal of hoedowns in the coming months. Recent gigs include NORTHERN DISCO at Urbis in Manchester with RAHAAN and AL KENT which was rather ace and expect more disco debauchery very soon.
