Nucleus aka Dave Sims started djing in 1986 mixing and scratching hip hop and funk breaks after hearing double d and steinski;s lessons and grandmaster flash adventures on the wheels of steel, this inspired him to buy a 4-track tape recorder and start making break mixes and hip hop tunes with local rappers.
In about 1988 started going to raves and clubs like the dungeon, telepathy and then later paradise club (awol) and getting into house and early breakbeat ,and djing at parties and raves staying with the music as it evolved through hardcore,jungle to drum and bass.
