About Me

Having been involved in music in some way throughout my life, from being in orchestras playing french horn to piano lessons at the age of 6 right through to collecting rave tapes and vinyl religiously the natural progression towards making music in some commodity was inevitable. How that would emerge only came apparent when a stray dreamscape tape found its way into the player at school.......Drums and Bass took over. Since then the beats have taken me far and wide, all around the country. Meeting Danny Wheeler in Southampton through a good friend many years ago helped to channel my energies in the right direction. Dj ed at various venues like Nu motion at Cafe 1001 Andy Mystic's night, love mixin and building sets but has taken back stage recently as time has been of the essence........work a full time job so any time outside that is spent in studio - many nights have not bothered to sleep at all trying to perfect a loop or programme a synth or something like that! Projects that i am involved in have helped to improve my production skills and carry on the momentum of production - be it drum and bass or other genres like house or breakbeat. One of these is 'Special Guessed' with 2 friends; been quiet of late but some things are due from us soon. Another project on going is with 'Harnessnoise' (my bro and mate), but has been slow of late as they have been VERY busy! This page will, in regular rotation, feature current bits that i am working on solo.....stay tuned... ps. big up to all who have given me feedback so far (you know who you are!) without your constructive critism progression and improvment would have been further away
