When around 1995 Grazzhoppa & Afterhours mixtapes came to his ears , a serious bug
infected dj Courtasocks brain and he started to buy his first records and slowly gathering a set-up to scratch that terrible itch he was suddenly suffering from .
Together with tallented friends he formed the Cloud 9 collective whom started doing Hip-Hop shows in close collaboraton with their Fab Fudge friends.In 2002 he was runnner up in the Benelux DMC battle .
To fullfill his growing funkey needs Courtasock in 2002 started jammin' with the instrumental funkband 'Muzzle' then renamed 'The lightning Brothers' and in 2004 they recorded the ' Funk Explorer' E.P.

produced by the One Cell Parasite ,the rhymes delivered by Rub and Acrid Cast and the turntable interventions operated by Courtasock .
Dj Courtasock played a host of venues throughout the entire country occasionally
teaming up with dj's on various styles like hip-hop,funk,reggae,latinbossagroove,jazz,breakbeat and a wholelot of weirdness.

WORDS CAN BE SO SIMPLE .A video shoot at various locations UK. and J.A by Chris Ilston of CRIZ.E produtions .......
( WORDS CAN BE SO SIMPLE) backed by the HOUSE OF RIDDIM with a solid bass and wicked horn section and drums to rock with. A tune for the reggea music fan at its very best . This tune will make you get up and go and move you forword to a positive state of mind. www.myspace.com/houseofriddim Jamie, here's my HONEST opinion & comments.... "Words can be so simple...Actions..." YES, but MUSIC also speaks louder than words....& thats EXACTLY what this tune does. From the intro chants of "LION....LION!", you get the feeling of positivity & strength from the word GO! The bubbling riddim track is met with uplifting vocal vibes from Mr Irie. A tune aimed at those who talk 'round di ting' & don't seem to put talk into motion, this song hits the spot. A vibesy tune to fill the air with as much punch as ALBORO
