About Me

I'm a garage producer from Archway, North London. To me garage/grime musik is the most rhythmically diverse urban music in the world, except maybe drum n bass, but you cant have swing with drum n bass. I make lots of different beats and some people say they sound "american" but that makes sense because that's where i grew up. i'm also probably the only grime dj who can beat-juggle and scratch good & i like to mix grimy stuff up with r&b and techno.My favorite producers are XTC [ruff sqwad], quincy jones, teddy riley [reppin the new jack swing], low deep, dr. dre, larry heard, mike banks, jammin gerald [reppin the chicago ghetto style] and michael omartian.
My favorite DJ is Mista Sinista [X-Men].
My favorite MC's are Bone Thugs.
I also have released lots of weird electronic music, formed an art collective, exhibited my art internationally, produced soundtracks for nike commercials, host a radio show, etc...all very non-garage related. If you're curious about that stuff go here for my other myspace site [made by my wife!].
For this site, tho, I just want to connect with people who share an interest in garage and grime music, other musicians and producers and other ppl in london.
Safe!
P.S. Please feel free to listen to my beats and mixes & let me know what you think. I'm available for dj bookings and productions - just send me a myspace message or email with all the info.
