Im 25 (soon to be 26 - gulp) hailing from the ever lovely Reading. This page is here for my music work, i find its a bit more personal and user friendly than running a normal website.
Im a dj, producer, remixer, samplist, collector & fan of music. I love everything that life has to offer (well maybe not cold rainy weather, hangovers or nasty illnesses,)....but pretty much everything else.
Music is my main hobby, i do it whenever i have time - usually late at night. The deepest tunes get made past 3am. I run fruity loops 4.1.2, its the muts nuts despite what snobby people might say. Theres some videos of me using it over there . I work as an acoustic engineer by daytime with a throughly lovely bunch of people. Thats my career, this is all just for fun.
As with most people, friends and family are the most important thing in my life. Im lucky to have an amazing supportive family (special shouts to mum, dad and sis!) & an amazing group of friends.
I like to do random stuff, of the cuff, spur of the moment, i dont like to have too much planned. I like people who make me laugh. Friendly people are very cool. Music has introduced me to many people who i would of never met otherwise. Ive made some very good friends through it and ended up in some pretty random places.
I have been lucky enough to do official remix work for Matt "Jam" Lamont, Mj Cole, Scandalous Unlimited, Ed Case & Oggie, Colours (the classic garage track "Hold On"), The Dreem Teem, Mutya Buena, Control-S, Asher D & Living Out Loud. Its something to show the grandkids one day.
See discogs profile for my discography.
I have has played/guest appeared on many underground radio stations such as vybe fm, freeze, shine, subjam, 87.5 uk finest and also made numerous guest appearances on kiss 100, bbc 1xtra, choice fm & kane fm.
I am a resident dj for the promotion Uk Flava, due to other commitments, their nights are one of the only places to catch me djing out and about.
If you interested in my music, subsribe to my blog, i do updates every now and then on latest release info and also general banter from stuff i get up to.
