About Me

I used to run a monthly house music night called Mad Hatters which ran for 5 years; I recently stopped this night to start a new venture with buckley/dom cappello- watch this space! I am also a resident at back to basics, veryverywrongindeed, full moon parties and dj weekly at various other club nights oop north and beyond... My DJ style takes in house (deep/tech/acid), techno, electro, nu disco/dubby disco & anything that floats my boat & makes people dance... I've been into DJ'ing & collecting records for over a decade now & have been obsessed with acid house music & leftfield sounds since the age of 10, when I used to tune into local pirate radion stations & listen to warp compilations & techno mix tapes with me bezzie mate... I hit my first underground club in the form of Back to Basics at the age of 15 and was hooked instantly, as such it was a real honour for me to first play the main room 4 years ago and I'm now lucky enough to play most months... Over the years I've ticked off a few ambitions and feel privileged to have played at most of the club nights in the North that have influenced me over the years (Basics/Tribal/Circus/Chibuku/Subculture etc) and DJ the main room to big crowds in venues such as Sankeys/Mint Club/Sub Club/Myhouse/Rehab/Annexe @ Nation/The Masque etc... I'm still as passionate about the music & scene as ever and am always up for quality gigs... If you'd like a recent mix drop me a mail & for booking enquiries contact the Basics DJ agency: [email protected]/(0113)2449474...I like: music with soul, chatting shite with my mates, cracking on, juno/phonica/beatport, pushing the boundaries of stupidity, text messaging, making new like-minded friends, people who have an equally offside sense of humour, living & enjoying my life as much as possible... I dislike: tight-arse's & up tight people who take themselves too seriously, religion, Trisha Goddawful, George fucking Bush & his family, Erick 'No More' Morrillo, R&B, 'Fiddy' Cent, having to write profiles of myself that make me sound like a twat no matter how I word them!
