About me: Ade Mosley A.K.A. Mr. Whisk has been DJ'ing for 12 years now, playing a eclectic set of funk, soul, jazz and latin. Now you're wondering why Mr Whisk? Well, due to the wide range of eclectic grooves that he plays you'd need a whisk to blend and mix these beats together!!
His interests in wanting to play out these tunes came about by chance when visiting uni mates down in Brighton, back in 1996. They took him around The Lanes by the seafront, where the Jazz Rooms are based. Britain's longest serving resident DJ Russ Duberry was rocking it with jazz dance, rare groove, boogie and afro funk. Not forgeting fat bossa grooves and batucada (Brazillian carnival music from Rio, which is his favourite dance tunes). On hearing these tunes he was hooked, saying "It was like joining the Moonies, I was glued, well and truely"
He thought this music was hidden from people wanting to hear a different sound, but by fusing it with house, breaks, hip hop and broken beats has brought it to a wider audience. "I still drop the old stuff, just to educate where I'm coming from and illustrate my influcences" says Whisk.
