About Me

Over 20 years dj experience,playing soul,funk,hip-hop,r&b,reggae&dancehall(both current & revival). Started in house parties in south London in mid-80's. Got involved in uk pirate radio in '89. Joined Powerjam fm in 1990-2000, now residing on Bassline 97.9fm Tuesday eve's 7-9pm. My dj'ing as carried me to places like Oslo,Barcelona,Dublin (for 4 years straight!), Austria,Denmark,Holland, Athens,Paris, and Estonia.

I started my own record label 'MUZIK-ED PRODUCTIONS' in 2003 after putting out 'THE BUSSIN TRUE EP' in 2002 for another indie label. The first release was double A sider STEP BY STEP/EVERYWHERE by Mystro in June 2003. Then SHONOLUV/MUZIK-ED SPECIAL by SEANIE-T,JEFF3 & SYMMETRIC in November 2003. Check the discography page on my website, WWW.MUZIK-ED.COM(There's a link to it on the left!!) for previous prods & the full 411 on yours truly!

The first track is a remix by myself & ANDY SMITH of the FANIA ALL STARS 'STEADY' out now (released 10/9/07) as a limited 7 inch on Fania/V2 records. ONE FOR THE B-BOYS & FLY GIRLS,DON'T SLEEP!!!The following tracks after Steady are excerpts of the ,'THE ROOTS ROCK EP'. 5 instrumentals depicting my never ending journey of love & fascination into the realms of Hip-Hop & Reggae!! Released 26th MARCH 2007 on 12'' vinyl on MUZIK-ED RECORDINGS & will be available shortly as downloads at WWW.MUZIK-ED.COM. The 'SOUNDZ OF MUZIK-ED,THE STORY SO FAR' compilation CD pictured below serves as an introduction to those who don't know & didn't know about me or MUZIK-ED. Features all my previous prods & remixes as well as fine UK Mc's like RODNEY-P,SEANIE-T,TY,MYSTRO,ENGLISHKID,ROOTS MANUVA & MANY MORE!!
