About Me

Real name is David da Costa, born in Johannesburg (SA), moved to Portugal at 6 and then the sunny shores of the UK at 12, lived down near London for the first 6 years then moved to Manchester for university purposes and have just stayed. I'm a founder member of the Too Many Cooks collective and as such have been a house party DJ for a bit in and around Manchester playing hip hop and funk, been making beats for a couple of years on and off. Was part of the group of people who started and ran Kut Above The Rest (the first all turntablist night in Manchester). Got a 12'' single coming out with MC English and Leeroy (too many cooks) its called 'Live and Direct' you can check DJ Excalibah's review in S.O.S. magazine, buy online it hurrrrr....
