About Me

After drunkenly bragging to Nibby about being able to dj better than a 'special guest' dj at a st deluxe gig last year, I was invited by Chris and Stef to do a wee hour at their Audio Ice Cream night in December! Since then they've not managed to get rid of me and i believe i am now a squatter rather than resident dj there. Like Napolean Dynamite, I will play whatever the hell i like but chances are it will be something most folk will be able to tap their toes to. Still at the early stages of dj'ing where i insist that "its all to do with the tunes, man, nothing to do with mixin"...so still in denial then! But one day, my beats shall match..............................................In August 2006 I was over the moon to learn that I successfuly completed the introductory DJ modules at the Mac Carracus Institute of Funk, a relatively unknown but fully wholesome school of learning located in the leafy west end of Glasgow. After basking in my achievements, I fully intend to return to the Institute to further my education..................For anyone interested in hearing my musical meanderings, I'm still squatting at Audio Ice Cream on the the first saturday of each and every month at the Research Club, 13 University Gdns, Glasgow. I also play on the last Saturday of each month at Bar Transit, Old Dumbarton Rd, Glasgow.I'm trying to christen these nights Clawstrophobia but that's not taken off yet, so spread the name kind readers..............oh aye.....now also a resident at superly at the woodside social....woo hoooo!!....been there since june and it's going jest fan....will also be there on hogmany this year....it's 5 squid on the door / no tckts required, open 10-3..... so fire in if yer aboot....Claw out!
