Uplift started his DJing career in hardcore back in 1996 when he joined London pirate station RadioActive 90.6FM as a budding dj. His tight mixing style and selection soon had him playing regularly at the legendary Club Labyrinth. In ’98 he started up his own radio station Addiction FM which provided London ravers a much needed service at a time when hardcore was beginning to dwindle. Addiction had to finish 18 months later due to financial difficulties but it was then he joined the long running Eruption FM on which he still holds a show today alongside Sc@r and TC. Over the next few years Uplift built on the foundation laid down by Addiction and became a regular on the London circuit becoming a resident at Raindance as well as often appearing at parties like United Dance, Elation to name a few. To this day Uplift has played at every major hardcore event including the likes of HTID, Slammin Vinyl, Hardcore Heaven and Uproar.
Uplift started his production career in 2000 as at the time he felt it was time to add his own unique style to his dj sets. With his first release on the world famous Quosh Records, Uplift started up his own label Raw Elements in an attempt to put some more vinyl on the shelves. The label has always maintained it’s dedication to releasing tracks which explore the real elements of hardcore dance music, and Uplift has succeeded in bringing out his tough yet uplifting style in many of his tracks. Now a renowned underground hardcore label, Raw Elements is into it’s 4th year with 19 releases as of December 2006. Many of the tracks such as Night Flight, Midnight Resistance, Revolution and more recently the massive This Life and Inside Your Mind have appeared on renowned compilation albums such as Clubland X-Treme Hardcore, Bonkers, Decadance, HTID, Original Hardcore, Hardcore Heaven & others. Uplift has worked on a number of releases with Euphony on the label as well as signing other promising talent to nurture into future stars such as Sc@r, Lukozade and Solopase & Decibel.
On a personal front, Uplift was engaged to Sc@r in December 2005 and are currently living together happily in the UK.
