I'm a Cape Town boy who has been around the world and back and still hasn't found a place that I truly want to settle. I've lived in Taipei, Cape Town and now Manchester. In Taipei I ran various nights with Pierre Bruwer under The Beat Symposium banner where we played music from all over the shop; be it jazz, funk, soul, disco, house, techno or whatever caught our ears - all delivered with a smile. Just an excuse to push the music that we love to people who were drowing in a sea of turgid trance and middle of the road house music, and we had a damn good time doing it.
I'm was previously a part of the hugely successful Last Rites night - the official Electric Chair pre-party that takes place on the last Saturday of every month as well as on occassion at The Salutation where we held three BBQs that had people whoopin' and hollerin' till the witching hour. My main project is Kumo - Manchester's latest house of deviant disco for punks, drunks and people who get down to the funk. So far in our six months we've played host to Balearic Mike, Matt Edwards (Radioslave, Rekid & Quiet Village), Philarmonix (Metronomic Family), Diesel (X-Press 2), Terry Farley (Faith, Junior Boys Own), Mark E (Jiscomusic), Tom Wainright (Hacienda), Kelvin Andrews (Soul Mekanik) and Steven McNulty (Heavy Rotation).
I have aspirations to open my own store, launch a semi-decent magazine (yes, I am aware that the market is saturated) and possibly a clothing label. I've written for numerous publications about all sorts of elements of popular culture. I'm a recordhound constantly on the search for "the perfect beat" and have come close a few times. I have far too many pairs of shoes and t-shirts, not enough pairs of pants unfortunately.
I've DJed on 3 continents without every really taking too much care to the technicalities involved, I prefer to let the music play and bob my head and shake my ass. I do have a bio of sorts that takes in the last 12 years that I have been involved in the music business or rather doing music related things, but it needs a bit of updating and I'll get around to it eventually. I prefer promoting the party.
Every 2nd Thursday I co-host KUMO Radio with Paul Hughes on Unity Radio from 9pm - 11pm UK time. Occassionally we even host these mixes up on our website.
I have one very understanding girlfriend and two tolerant cats whom I couldn't survive without in all truth.
I do the interviews on Simon Harrison's excellent Basic Soul website and am currently using Myspace to hook up with some of you purveyors of good music, and give you a bit more exposure than you already have.
