Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs
Hmmm, well, I'm friendly, open-minded with a positive outlook. Always willing to learn new things, after all - knowledge is power!!! I like to let my hair down, so-to-speak, and have fun - y'know kinda work hard during the week, play harder at the weekend. After all, just like the tagline for my website says - THE WEEK ENDS LIFE BEGINS!

Residentclubber.co.uk
Started in 2001 (officially from October 2002 when I registered the name) and now one of the longest running, independent clubbing sites in Leamington Spa.
I've visited the top club and bar nights in the local area over the years; including amongst others, Godskitchen, Fuel, Sundissential, Gatecrasher NEC from Birmingham, Carey's and Casafunk from Coventry, Global Gathering Festival in Long Marston, and not forgetting my own events in and around Leamington Spa (which have been been on and off in various venues since 2002).
The site, to date, is mostly known for it's photo galleries of the weekend's festivities, based locally, mainly in Leamington Spa.
Residentclubber.co.uk does NOT endorse, and is NOT biased towards, any one particular venue. I just go where the good times are at! Back to basics, just as when I first started the site back in 2001.

DJ Profile
I used to organise and DJ at my own events, mostly based in Leamington Spa. But now, rather than doing events, I'm concentrating more on my DJing. I see myself as a House DJ, my sound ranges from ranging from deep, soulful latin house, through to funky vocal club house with a bit of dirty funk thrown in for good measure - my current main style, as demonstrated with my DJ mixes, is uplifting soulful house music. This means I'm more than capable at DJing to different kinds crowds at different venues. And although admittedly I'm not the best DJ technically, I rely on my tune selection to get the people dancing, and having DJ'd at most of the local Leamington Spa bars, as well as in all three rooms in Evolve Nightclub, in that time, I have certainly done that! So, you could say that I'm well placed to know the local bar/clubbing scene as well.
Musical influences from the Soul music of the 60's, the Funk & Disco of the 70's, the acid and piano house of the late 80's, through to the electro, funky, soulful, latin house of today have helped define my sound.

RESIDENTCLUBBER MEDIA
I am also active in web & graphic design. I have designed many club flyers, mostly from when I was organising my own Residentclubber Nights as well as being commissioned to do some for other events, and also various CD covers. I also design my own 'Resident Grooves' DJ mix CD covers.
To see a selection of my designs click here.
I've also made a few videos too. Mainly from when I've visited Godkitchen's Global Gathering festivals.
