First Grandson/The Obvious/RollersMusic/DJ A.L.F.

About Me

Saigon to Sydney in '86 on a staple diet of Pseudo Echo, Neil Diamond, Paul Mauriat, Latin music, Classical music and seafood....
Sometime in the mid 90s @ The Cricketers Arms I hooked up with Ozi Batla to rollout some hip hop and jungle biznezz...
I co-promoted and was resident DJ for legendary Sonic Fiction nights in a grimey club called Frontier....Later on a new concept called Airbourne was formed to showcase to a wider audience of Drum'n'bass and Beatz lovers...
Amongst the madness I hooked up with Ritual to form Rollers Music. We wheeled out rollers at gigs with 3 turntables and had a show on 2SER 107.3FM for several years....
I have collaborated with Gerry 23break; Ritual; Prince V; Sulo; Munk; Jase Foreign Dub; P_O Foreign Dub; Urthboy; Ozi Batla; Dave Edwards; Murda1; Vice Versa; Semper Fi; Jynxl; Rido. I was DJ for several live acts such as Trace Element, The Herd, Explanetary, Ozi Batla & Urthboy.... This resulted in shows which I was lucky to be on the same bill alongside artists like Blackalicious, Michael Franti, Squarepusher, Photek, Hermitude, Concord Dawn, Hilltophoods, DJ Hype, Roni Size and several more..
Some releases with Elefant Trak's Cursive Writing, Food To Eat Music By, The Herd, An Elefant Never Forgets; SheBeenBasscodes Below The Above double CD; Forefront 2 on Falcon Beats; Foreign Dub DNBBQ Compilation; Congo Natty Outernational LP; Cook'n'Kitch & Monfly Remix 12"; Little Rascals Records V2 ...
I try to keep fresh material brewing as First Grandson (Solo Project), The Obvious (with Gerry 23Break), works with Foreign Dub, Jynx, Vice Versa and longtime Rollers Music compadre DJ Ritual.
I also play shooting guard in a cult-basketball team called The Unknowns with my boys from wayyy backkk!!
