Big big RESPECT to the following influences on our musical DNA..
local DJ vinyl junkie Steve Walsh,
he was about 10 years older than us when we met him at 14 years of age (do u wanna come see my puppies "ha ha") but he introduced us to the most amazing amount of music u could ever dream of, we'd go down to all the record and tape exchanges in london every other weekend (b4 the rare groove gold rush hit) and come back with about 500 12" and LPs each, all kinds of shit from Roy Ayers to Led Zepplin and George Clinton to Blondie.
At the time we'd just be hooked on doing ecletic mix tapes but years later when we formed Shades of Rhythm those records would be sampled to death and every now and again we'd come up with a classic Sweet Sensation/Sound of Eden/Extacy and then as the DT's Feelin Kinda Strange/Mind the Gap..... cheers Steve!!!!

The DT's are myself and my long long long time best friend and business partner Nick Slater, we met at school when we were 13 years old, we had a mutual respect for each others musical tastes and both became addicted to the scene and the technology so we formed a band ,started buying records, keyboards and drum machines and 20 years later not much has changed "ha ha".
We formed Shades of Rhythm with our good friend Rayan G back in the late 80's (ancient) we went on to have a few rave classics like Sound of Eden and Sweet sensation "such a great time"
We're currently writing a new album and DJing at various clubs and events around the world, fellow freinds and compardres in the breakbeat arena are: Soul of Man, Lee Coombs, Plump DJs, Rennie Pilgrim, Stanton Warriors, Koma and Bones, Autobots, DJ Friendly, JDS,Atomic Hooligan and many many more.
We're always interested in hearing from anyone into breakbeat influenced music, vocalist, producers, venture capitalists, pole dancers ;-)
