About Me

....I am me.ME ME ME.No honestly. Nothing to write about me.I'm a DJ, producer, promoter and I ran a monthly night called Cyclic at the Attic in Manchester. It was about breakbeat...roots to present. Reggae, hip hop, funky monkey-ness, turntablism and of course, cutting edge breakbeat. I'm now involved in various nights...Plutonic, State of Mancunia, Emmegration...whatever else is on the horizon. They're all quite different...I'm quite broad-minded and I don't mind saying that, and I don't mind you reading that. You know it's all just energy turning into energy don't you?New ideas - evolution of self - evolution of humanity...it's how it goes...Plutonic initially launched at Scubar in March and has been in the 808 workshop. October marked the new beginning with cracking live sets from Smashback and Mr Raw and Mark G. My debut live performance went down very well too.Exploits into the world of electronica. Live funked up techno,electro,breakbeat,electrobreaks,future sounds and knob-twisting. Any form of music is on the agenda. Live is the keyword. Check out http://www.virb.com/mono808 for mixes and tracks...Do you like scratching? I do....

My Interests

04.04.08 I have uploaded some of my tracks to Reverbnation. Check em out. If you like what you hear and want to download any the link to download them from 7digital is just below the player.
20.02.08 I've added Green Grass by Sine to my profile in respect to a great talented man who very sadly passed away recently. He will be missed.
15.02.08 Cosmic Energy is no longer happening thanks to Dry Bar management being scared of drum and bass and pulling the plug on the event with 2 weeks to go. We just received 5000 flyers. Would have been a good event.....Well look at all my famous friends. Welcome to Myspace. Friends and people you'll probably never meet or pretend to know or want to know or think will look good on ur page...and then you spend 10 minutes staring at your own page pointlessly. Of course nice to network, nice to say hi to friends and make new friends but....Why are we here? What are we doing? Blank. See Cyclic blog.......

I'd like to meet:

Television:

Right let's get this straight. I don't want to burn televisions. I like a bit of telly. But I also know they're full of 'bull-shit-noise' - 'Bull-shit-noise' is a term I coined a few years ago for the massive amount of publicity thrown at our faces everywhere we look every single day. We are the most knowledgeable generation ever. Stop and think about that. Unfortunately, we have so much pointless pointless meaningless rubbish to wade through that it makes our potential position of most aware generation ever that much more difficult. Buy this, dress like britney, what's motherf*****g paris hilton up to now? Buy that. Watch this. Spend spend spend - that is the point of your existence for without consuming new things constantly what else can you do to fill those existential spiritual holes??? Go to work, buy some stuff, go home and watch tv with a frozen meal. Passive existence. You don't even know what it means to be alive! A lot more people are turning off tv and more people are finding that the internet is more interesting. Why? Because it's not dominated by the mass media. It's much more independent, and as a result more open and honest. Only so much of the media on the internet can be manipulated the same way that major news networks, newspapers etc are. But it seems in our decadent western ignorance we don't care and would rather chat about britney and jordan and clothes and jewels and money and soaps and everything else the tv suggests.........But that said, I'll still be watching Utd on Sky tonight ;

Books:

Last Night A DJ Saved My Life(not bigging myself up!)...just a great book on the history of dance music.

Heroes:

Idealists Good people with good thoughts to express Picasso Q-Bert Thom Yorke Richard Ashcroft DJ Shadow Jonny Depp Adam Freeland Ian Curtis Grant Morrison Neitzsche Michaelangelo(the ninja turtle) Sir Alex Ferguson My mum And Yoda..........

What comes next?...

I'm not sure what happens here, or why or when but I do know that I am writing here, living and breathing, sitting down with Descartes and Pan having a little conversation with myself...and who knows?...
