No. of records:Just finishing first tunes with Todd Tobias own about 5000 records all dance genre's of which 2500 hard dance
Started playing:Been buyin vinyl since I was 13 ! But bought technics about 3 years ago
All time top 3 tunes:Ooooh now theres a hard one, too many BK & Nick Sentience classics to pick 1 from so all of theirs and X-Santo (Spencer Freeland and Rob Jeffery), The Dawn (Janes remix) , Deliverence (original mix)
Website:None Yet
Signed to:Just starting to produce (or learn to!) now so one day hopefully.
Sample set:Thats lotsa megabytes! - For current demo's please call though.
Worst DJing moment:Have loved it all even the mistakes so no worst! But most interesting was having to mix at Endorphin@Mass and Mixer kept dying(power cutting out) so had to mix one record on 1 deck with old mixer and another on the other deck with new mixer so the music wasnt stopped whilst changing mixers - would have been scarey but the Endorphin crowd were simply great - top night!
Would most like to play:HHA, Riot, Release, Heat, Dance Valley !!!
Most enjoyable set you've played:Again I've loved em all but either the good ole' days at the legendary Provocation, Sunday School or I still love the vibe at U4RIA. Timeless was the most fun I've had and most special(personally) for me.
When you're not DJing you're:In the studio learning the ropes! or Spending quality time with my friends or simply mixing at home for fun.
Favourite DJ:Andy Farley, Steve Hill, Phil Reynolds
Favourite Venue:The End, Scala, Acadamy,Turnmills

Biggest Influence:Frantic and Provocation got me hooked way back when and are stilling putting on the best parties in the world. Music wise :The Nukleuz Kings ! - BK, Nick Sntience, Andy Farley, Phil Reynolds for the most amazing tunes and sets ever! Steve Hill for consistently inspiring DJ'ing and top innovative production and Paul Glazby for amazing hard as nails production
Drink:Orange and Lemonade !!!
Non-music pastime:There always been music!!! - apart from when in the army I scuba dived the Red Sea - no waterproof headphones hey Wink
Words of wisdom:You only live THIS life once so love and enjoy each and every moment of it - negative is a state of mind - what will be will be! (aaaaahhh) oh and of course - "bitfro mo fo" (bring it the fuck right on mother fooker!!!)
