started playing drums aged 13 got into a punk/new wave band ( cut out )for a couple of years
left school at 16 ( a big regret !! don't do it kids.)
got involved in the squat/traveller scene from 16 onwards , played drums in festival dub/ska band "back to the planet" for 5 years toured all over europe with them and sigend a record deal with london records , released album which wasn't all that great and gave up.
ditched the drums for machines in 1994 ( 24 years old ), and started recording with the liberator djs in 1995.
used my alias d.a.v.e. the drummer for the first time for bag records , and it stuck , since then i have made over 100 techno records released on london labels and other european/worldwide labels.
