"FRESH MUSIC = FRESH INSPIRATION"
Very very brief history: I grew up in Belfast (Northern Ireland) where I was schooled by Belfast City Breakers about all things hip hop. Went swimming in the Irish Sea in 2001, got lost, after a week I found land then started walking before sitting down in Manchester (cus it was raining) & I've been based here ever since.
I love music & I love B-Boyin. They are the two main passions in my life & as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with them. Without music, I would not be dancing and without dancing, I would have no need for music. The more I learn about music, the more I learn about dancing & the more i learn about dancing, the more I learn about music! Dancing has offered me an insight into DJing, especially for B-Boys, not just in terms of what to play, but when to play it and how to play it. Knowing how to play for B-Boys is almost as important as knowing what to play. I believe that Hip Hop is about taking what others have done before you and making it your own. As a B-Boy & a music lover (something every dancer should be) the thing that excites me the most is hearing music that I've never heard before, its like when you are presented with a plate of food which you'd never tasted before, the feeling you get when it agrees with you cannot be beaten. This is where I believe my insight as a B-Boy helps me as a DJ, its knowing what music agrees with the danceform that is B-Boying. To me, B-Boying is about dancing (not tricks!!) and dancing is about music, the more I learn about the various rhythms of the dance, the more I understand what music suites B-Boyin the best!
