From a young age Double 0,s mother and father would always buy music and play it in the house from old rock n roll 10 inch slates which played on 78 ( sorry mum n dad for practicing scratching on them as a kid!) to reggae greats and calypso. His older brother was one of His Many inspirations. He had his own reggae sound system and for him it was all about exclusive dubs and tunes, heavy bass and playing at blues party's at his house which the local police loved! HEH HEH .
Initially serving his apprenticeship at a very young age, and getting heavily involved in the Afro-Carribean “Blues Dance” scene, Double O went on to discover Soul, Raregroove, Hip hop, 80’s Electro and the earliest sounds of Detroit Techno, while he continued to bless the Mic for a variety of the Reggae and Dub Soundsystems that have been the backbone and foundation of British Urban Music for the past four decades.
The dawn of the Rave era saw all of his influences get thrown together into a melting pot, and inspired him to take up DJing, going on to cut his teeth with a four year residency at the Warehouse in Doncaster, alongside DJ’s like Carl Cox, Kenny Ken, Grooverider, Jumpin Jack Frost, LTJ Bukem, and Nebula 2; the rest is history as releases followed on labels as diverse as Formation, Lab Logic, DZR, Cylon, Hidden Hawaii, Digi Lab and Syncopathic, as well as a huge amount of gigs including as far as New york for the Bass camp crew for e.g and pirate radio . His general style is very much a purist’s approach to the harder end of modern Jungle, sample based, syncopated and fuelled with ten tonnes of solid sub bass pressure. He divides his time between DJ-ing, Production, Promoting his Rupture night with partner in crime DJ Mantra and being a youth worker in London dealing with inner city youth.
