About Me

I started of making mix tapes for my freinds but got bored of that.I used to go around the second hand shops and buy lots of guitar foot pedals and put my mixes through them to change the sound some times it worked and some times it sounded awfull.I was into singing as a kid in primary school.My obsesive passion for Reggae music started in the 80,s were i used to get the stagecoach from Dundee down to London to see JAH SHAKA playing his famous all nighters and the 12 Tribes Dances in Manchester not forgettin London and as always i would keep as much money as pos to visit DADDY KOOLS in Soho but mostly DUB VENDOR, Clapham Junction to buy as much reggae i could get my hands on, not forgettin all the shops and muzic shacks in Camden, DADDY PECKINGS (RIP) in SHEPARDS BUSH where all the STUDIO ONE gems were, JUNIOR DELGADOS (RIP) shop and various other reggae outlets throughout LONDON. So way back in the day i used to dj a reggae ting in the Market Gate union in Dundee for the student union and then bumped into the man called Jim who set up a club that i djayed in called DUBCLASH and i went under the heading of DR SKYLAB. At that point i met Hugh who ran a JBL rigg and did the instalations for most of the gigs that were happening in Scotland at the time from Glasgow the QUEEN MARGARETS UNIVERSITY to the all nighters at the Fubar , to the all amazing Rhumba Club events through out Scotland and the none existing fameouse all nighters at the PLAZA in Glasgow to all sort of bizarre festivals all over scotland. Those were good days with good people but still i used to come to Edinburgh and i ended up working for the Students University Of Edinburgh as a member of there entertainments crew and resident dj for 3 years and working at the famous Edinburgh Club Festival at Teviot Row which was awsome working with bands and outernational global djs from Darren Emerson to John Digweed to bands like the stereophonics, republica and 808 State.
