I first discovered music at a very early age, being brought up on a widespread selection from day one,thanks to a brilliant pair of parents :]
by the time I was big enough to get in lol , I was lucky enough to be attending concerts all over ,seeing all of my fav bands.
I found punk music to be a brilliant escape and contained so much energy something alot of the other music around at the time lacked, this was something that i really connected with.
To b completly honest by the time i left school and started college, the stream of what i called good music seemed to b lacking, and the original impact was slowly wearing off.
hungry for something new and exciting i discovered drum and bass.
id never listened to electronic music before,and was amazed at jus how much energy and attitude it contained.
i was hooked, this was like nothing i had heard before.
the very first concert i attended was at the mighty brixton academy and it was ironic this was also the first place i went raving.
Seeing the dj up on the stage in front of all the ravers jus hit something home with me, the way he had complete control over the crowd exactly as all them years before the bands i had seen had.
that was it there and then, my mind was made up that is what i wanted to do.
I saved long and hard and eventully got myself a set of decks, and locked myself away in my room,mixing was everything, id go out everyweek spend all my cash on records come back and jus mix til i couldnt mix anymore lol
god my neighbours loved me lol
after alot of practice and a bit more saving i decided i was serious and made the move to a set of technics 1210s :]from here i spent all my time mixing and constintly making mixtapes and playing all the sets and partys i could.
after a few years of this myself and some very close freinds and fellow djs/mcs(the hitsquad crew), got together and started putting on our own nights in and around are area,we felt there wasnt enough of a scene in our area and using the good old punk attitude of "do it urself" we soon decided it was time for a change, and the hitsquad crew got together.
After a few years of promoting our own nights and playing anywhere i could.
i was finally lucky enough to hook up with dj fluid and ruffride and got with new nation (turbo promotions), from here i began mixing it up at nights all across the uk and further.
some of the nights i have performed at include....
1nation - brixton academy/bristol academy,slammin vinyl, mc convention,heat vs fever,legends of the dark black,lunacy,sunday science - tonbridge wells, initiation/direct drive -gravesend/canterbury,
champions of champions,bassed out - portsmouth,socialism clapham ,sub frequency-arcane coalition brighton ,eastbourne,destiny-bournemouth,new nation nights- camberly/surrey....
and ive been lucky enough to work with a large number of top djs/mcs over the years....i have played various radio stations including planetdnb.com kool fm and the one and only cyndicut fm!, aswell as holding 2 radio shows a week, on www.futuredrumz.com for the last few years
(sundays 4til 6 /fridays 6 til 7.30) and http://www.koollondon.com/ every tuesday @ 5 til 7pm ........which often feature special guest mcs/djs.
More recently besides mixin i have been starting to produce some music of my own.
Shown the basics by some good freinds, Im currently working hard to create my own brand of dancefloor mayhem.
