Sounds Like: Like me ;-) and I am still changing... At the moment I have a big focus on breaks. Can be funky or electronic. Love to play lots of different styles like Rare Groove, Heavy Funk, True School Hip Hop, Dub, Afro, Latin, Funky Breaks, D'n'B & NuBreaks in one set sometimes and sometimes straight NuBreaks (love 'em). If you want to know more just drop a mail and I'll send you some mixes.
