Residing from Camden , North London , Tendai started off a promoter in 2000 where he promoted his first night at The Scala in Kings Cross – it was a highly successful club night / concert / fashion show which became critically acclaimed. It was through this night that he met a drum ‘n’ bass & hip hop collective called Hexion . They then went on to forge a longstanding relationship.
Hexion went .. the first drum ‘n’ bass night at the now legendary Herbal Nightclub in 2001. It was through this that he started DJing , playing the warm-up sets at Hexion . As time went by his skills and recognition increased and started getting a lot more bookings. In that time he played alongside DJs such as Andy C, London Elektricity , Trace, Goldie, Storm, Dylan, Bailey, and played in venues such as 333, Kensington Roof Gardens, places such as Leicester and also played regularly on Ruud Awakening along with Allied Force.
