DJ MERKIN

Mashing up the dance since 1997

About Me

Merkin first started dj'ing whilst up in the North East and quickly got a reputation for slipping Mad Lion & Beenie Man tunes in amongst his Drum n Bass/Hip-Hop Selection. Used to play D n B sets warming up for the likes of John B & DJ Nutone in Durham & Newcastle, but gradually moved back to his Hip-Hop/Reggae roots from about 2000. Was a member of the infamous Margin Walkers crew which at various points in time included Kobi & Fridea 13th from the roguesinthegallery, Compound, Irwin Max (The Bedlamite) & Dj StuF. Merkin now hides deep in the Surrey Hills where he plots more burials...
