DJ wise it's gotta be the great Danny Rampling. He's the one that open my eyes to house music in all it's forms. I really miss his "Love Groove Dance Party" on Radio 1.

About me: DJ'ing since I was about 14. Had my first set of belt drive decks for my birthday & drove my parents mad with the noise.
I was into hip hop back then so it wasn't long until I realised that belt drive decks were no good. So at the age of 16 I was able to take out a loan for my Technic's 1200s.
Played around Plymouth as put of the Flava crew for awhile & really enjoyed it, a couple nights in Manchester & a couple shows on Plymouth College radio. Also a couple guest spots at Jelly Jazz.
After, I went back to my bedroom & fell out of love with hip hop but started to date house music which turned into the full on love affair that it is today thanks to listening to Danny Rampling on Radio 1.
Currently back DJ'ing at home & beginning putting together my studio.....so what this space!!!
Hey mate hows it going, good to have you on Myspace. Im just downloading your March 09 mix, will be giving that one a spin tomorrow :). Hows your studio coming along? Would you like to work on a new house track somtime? You still using Cubase? I have just installed Pro Tools into my set up and am trying to get my head around it at the mo; its a slow process but worth it I think. If you get some spare time just drop me a txt and we'll sort somthing out.
