Dedicated to the underground scene in the UK, Oracle first gained experience DJing on various pirate stations across the South-East of England in the early 90s. His passion for creative, original music led to his love for many different styles, but in particular, he favoured the raw, gritty sounds of Drum n Bass, Breaks and Techno.
In 1993, after appearing regularly on popular southeast pirate stations, Sub Zero and Stamina, he helped set up and run Wax FM. It was during this time that he really started to sharpen his skills as a DJ, playing early Drum n Bass to a regular audience each weekend. As Wax started to become more popular, guest DJs began to appear on the station and soon, an alliance was formed with the Hypnotic FM crew.
When Wax finally came off air in 95, Oracle became a regular on Hypnotic FM and built good relations with the management and his DJ counterparts. He was starting to build up a reputation as a very competent DJ, with an exciting style of mixing and an ear for a good tune. Over the years, he played at a number of clubs across Europe as well as his homeland, but it wasn't until 2001, when he helped set up the Techno collective Polymorphic, that things really started to happen...
Soon after, Oracle was asked to play Techno for Uber and Defcon1 at the infamous 414 in Brixton and he was offered his own prime time Drum n Bass show on Premier FM. Since then, he has played in the Techno room for Antiworld at The Stratford Rex in London and has been pushing the Breaks sound on the free party circuit at outdoor events up and down the country, as well as the prestigious Hawkfest in Blackpool (2003), when Polymorphic hosted the dance tent. In addition to holding down residencies throughout 2004 for Southend club nights Polymorphic (Techno), Lockdown (Drum n Bass) and Busted Beats (Breaks), Oracle also began to concentrate more on writing his own material and started to play regular live shows under the moniker of Galvaniser.
More recently, in 2005, he made another DJ appearance for, the now legendary, Antiworld at SEone in London and he also helped to set up the Breaks night Mata Boo-Boo. The launch night was held at Fire in London and Oracle continues to make regular appearances at Mata Boo-Boo as resident DJ. He was introduced to the Maya party crew in the Summer of 05 and immediately formed a special bond with them. He made an appearance at one of their secret venues in London and then played again for them at The Telegraph in Brixton towards the end of the year.
In 2006, Oracle joined the ranks of the multi-award winning Breaks FM. Although he favours the more tearing side of Breaks, he enjoys all of the different styles in the genre and his sets often reflect this, as well as giving a nod to his Old Skool roots. Catch him every other Sunday from 20:00 22:00 (GMT) on www.breaksfm.com
