DJ Power Roofing was born Pablo Prittstick in 1941, an only child to Pete Prittstick and Jeanette Prittstick-Meg. He made his first release at the age of 16 on the Golden Guinea label entitled "Metal Tray Rhumba"/"Biscuit Tin Stomp". In the early 1960s his experimentation with tape loops on albums such as "Tape Loopin' Louie" (1964) and "Wrecking Balls Of Fire" (1966) influenced artists such as The Beatles, Stockhausen and John Cage. In the 1970s he controversially shifted away from tape loops and found a more organised sound through his work with synthesizers and drum machines. His releases "Fuck The System" (1979) with Vangelis and "Stab That Bitch Up With An Old Bread Knife Then Chop Her Up And Throw Her In A Dog Litter Bin" (1976) with Jean Michelle Jarre as well as his own album "Playdo's Republic" "Ambient Temperatures" "Brighton Rock 'n' Fig Roll" and "Clay Piping" paved the way for electronica in the 1980s.
After supposedly retiring in 1981 with the album "Electro Ro Ro The Boat", he made a comeback in 2004 as DJ Power Roofing, concentrating on the jungle/drum 'n' bass scene. He now lives in a mansion in Suffolk with his super-model wife Pauline Postitnote-Prittstick, their five children Hettie, Spaghetti, Yeti, Betty and Jettie and a cat called Freddo.
