Hi i go by the name of dj myme..
I satrted djing around 2000 ish and started out on a set of citronic direct drives later up grading to techincs 1210s a vestax 06 and a technics ex1200 mixer.
I would see myself as being a hiphop dj/musician, i started battiling in 2003 when i lived up in EDINBURGH and i was third in the SCOTTISH DMC FINALS in 2005 the previous year i was fourth in the SCOTTISH FINALS. i was involved in some local competions getting second place in the ACCESS battle. big up RITCHIE RUFFTONE 5x SCOTTISH DMC CHAMPION and scotlands finest plus a big shout out to my OFFBEAT Family richard sonny etc thanks for the support.
I am originaly from GLASTONBURY and i now live in LONDON and work in HMV on BOND street in the "SOUL N DANCE" department which is wicked because it keeps in touch with all the new music out there.
plus my main job which is my practice i try to put in a minimum of three hours everyday just working on my scratches juggles etc. In 2007 i placed 4th in the LONDON DMC FINALS.
Im trying to branch out more than just doing the battle scene i have started putting out mix cds which have been received really well so far. I have had five of my mix cds reviewd in HHC (HIP HOP CONNECTION) by Dj YODA, a massive thank you to YODA for the continued support.
what im trying to do with my mix cds is just to keep it mainly about the tunes but with some nice scratches,juggles,skits etc. Im going to continue to upload my mix cds and current projects on to my page so feel free to download them and leave me your feedback.
Im also going to start putting together ten minute mixes which you can download in full from my MYSPACE page the first mix is called "ITS THE RETURN OF THE DOPEST MOTHERFUCKER" which takes in "CNN,JERU THE DAMAJA,MOS DEF" etc its on my page now so feel free to download it.
doing the rounds at the mo is "IS IT FUNKY ENOUGH?" which is a 25 minute mix of soul/funk and grooves with a techy scratch routine at the end. I have also been working with BEATROOT RECORDS and i have done an exclusive mix for them called "DAM THAT DJ MADE MY DAY" featuring (BLACK STARR,ERYKA BADU,TY,ARTIFACTS,RODNEY P etc) which is available to download now,check out BEATROOT RECORDS.CO.UK i have also uploaded a preview mix on to my page."STRAIGHT FROM THE DUSTY CRATES" is my first FUNK mix cd which i have done its a 20 minute mini mix of 60s/70s funk with a little scratching thrown and its available to download in full from BEATROOTRECORDS.CO.UK Its part one of a three part mix of SOUL/funk cds "DAM THOSE DUSTY CRATES" is a classic motown mix and was folowed by "BACK TO THE DUSTY CRATES" which was a mix of soul,funk,disco and northen soul.
My newest mix cd is "BANGIN IN YOUR BOOM BOX" which is a mix of hiphop,funk,soul,neyo soul,newjack swing etc plus some beat juggles,scratches, skits etc.
Other projects i have been working on are "SATALITE SONGS" with a producer called RIVER STIX which is remix project of some JAZZ/SOUL suff its finished but its been shelved by the record company untill next year i will keep you posted on that because its a wicked project. plus "RADAR FLOATING PLAN" which is going to be an MF DOOM style production project with SCRATCHES by yours truly......
Im also laying down SCRATCHES for my old crew MCs MISFIT,HIGHER LIFE form and MR WILSON on production duties tracks will be uploaded on to my page asap.
"DRUNK OF THE FUNK" which is a quality producer album by DJ INSITE is out now check out MYSPACE.COM/DJINSITE i layed down the scratches for the intro plus i have layed down some more scratches for the album and i will upload the results soon.

Im going to be laying down some cuts/scratches on some of MRS SMITHS stuff she is very talented MC from NEW YORK so i will upload stuff as and when check out her myspace page she is heavy.
Other things worth a mention are: im going to be working with a few different producers over the next few months and im going to be laying down some SCRATCHES/CUTS with a drummer so we will see where that goes.
