From leaving school at 16 Ham went straight into writing tracks with Kniteforce records under the guidance of label owner Luna-C. Although he had already had some experience in the studio with his own basic equipment Luna-C quickly educated Ham to the next level. In 1995 He was able to finance the purchase of a reasonable studio setup with the proceeds of his Kniteforce releases. From there, being able to write and produce every day, he began to develop his trade and progress his skills. It was from there that he produced the classic anthems such as"Is There Anybody Out There" for Slipmatt's label Universal and "Here I Am" with Demo & Justin Time as well as a cheeky venture into Handbag House along side his old Kniteforce stable-mate Poosie under the guise of Powerhouse with a track called "Rhythm Of The Night" which hit the UK national charts.
In late 1996 Ham then formed the record label Next Generation Records with partner in crime Dj Brisk. The label created an immediate impact on the scene and produced some of the late 90's biggest Hardcore anthems. In 1998 Blatant Beats was born. While it's original purpose was for tracks of a more naughty nature the label quickly proved itself to be as popular as Next Generation. To date the two labels have amassed over 150 releases.
In 1999 Ham & Brisk decided to venture into the world of Trance and Hard House. Stimulant Records was born. While the label began fairly quietly it started to make an impact in 2000. Ham & Brisk were largely responsible for all the tracks on Stimulant under their various guises Stimualnt Djs, Cyberdrive, Dropzone and Ham's solo effort Alumina. The Stimulant Djs hit the big time after two huge releases on Tidy Trax "Hoovertime" and "Are U Serious" which both sold over 15,000.
Throughout this time Ham has been busy Djing over the Uk and overseas including Finland, Germany, Austria, USA, Canada & Australia whilst trying to juggle a busy studio schedule and manage the record labels. Hectic!
Most recent accomplishments include acclaimed vocal tracks under his guise Eclipse "24/7" and "Be Happy" and more unique Ham tracks such as "Jump 2 Da Groove" and "Count Of Three" as well as mixing "Hardcore Euphoria" along side Brisk, Sy & Unknown, Dougal & Gammer.
