About Me

MyGen Profile Generator first sampler was a roland s-50 , bought in 1990 from leytonstone , started making techno/house hybrids , inspired by sounds of Colin Dale and Faver , as well as prouction partner being heavy b- boy , so hip hop was a large part in the mix . First track played in public was on Colin Favers’’ demo dat pressure ’’ section , and after that it all went a bit quiet as raving took precedence , and living in the home counties didn’t open as many doors as hoped .. DJing became more dominant at this stage , and parties at art college , and collaborations with free party organisations led to a set at Glastonbury in 93, as well as playin onto of Aonach Mor in fort william ... only when moved to london in 95 did productions take shape again , the move from hardware to software in 2000 proved very fruitful , things started rolling and demos started flyin out the door .... after a few false starts , and near misses , the first contract came from mr steve kotey of bearfunk , although this took a year to come into fruition , during this time more material was sent out , and releases co-produced as Alexis Forge on Low Pressings . Around 2003 the first release , on Bearfunk turned out in a remix for Akwaaba format , as a bside to an unknown norwegian called Todd Terje . from here , a steady flow of production has emerged from the white house studios , on Odori records , Hi-phen , Urban Myth and most recently , for Rekids with an album lined up for the near future .Tobys first release on Rekids- A close shave did remarkably well ,and still is proving a success from London to NewYork and stopping all over Europe . It has also helped to fix his name on the remix map , as a slew of remixes for Bent , Brontosaurus records, Greg Wilson , Future Force and others are forthcoming in the next months , not forgetting his next single on Rekids Daves Sex Bits , with a remix from some peacefull town folk ?????? Also look out for the Mythical Beast project which is a live collaboration with Foolish Felix , and is looking for release in the next couple of months too .DJing was the thing that started T off in this world , doing his own parties at art college back in the early 90s , its taken him on a long journey through all things deep , from house to disco , not forgetting the party bangers . His own night , with Partner Danny Clark is Latenightaudio in Shoreditch.its ethos is late night sounds encompassing disco , house ,boogie and deeper late night experimentations !! Its been running monthly for nearly a year now and has proven very succesfull ,it has pulled down a wide range of big names from Radio Slave to Chicken Lips Stevie Kotey . 2006 and 2007 is looking very interesting with slots in Spain , Portugal , Belgium the US beckoning , not forgetting many guest spots around London Town .
