InfluencesMusical influences, eh...?? Where do I begin? Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Orbital, Billy Cobham, John Coltrane, Dave Clarke, Led Zepplin, Jeff Mills, The Doors, Joey Beltram, The Prodigy, Bob Marley, Richie Hawtin, Miles Davis, Madness, Portishead, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Roxy Music, Manu Chao, The Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Jeff Buckley, Where do I stop...?
Sounds LikeSound's Like? Well... I don't know!? I have my own style but I love all sorts of music - normally hard techno - However, I'm very into Minimal Techno at the moment. This has changed my style of mixing somewhat. I have always tried to add as much funk to my sets as I can. The thing that I love about Minimal Techno is that it has Bass Lines. You've gotta groove at the end of the day!

Music has always been the first love of my life. I was brought up on a diet of Hendrix, Floyd, Led Zep, JJ Cale, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, etc, until the age of about 10. From then on I was put on a strict diet of Jazz. In my mid-teens I discovered dance music in the forms of Orbital, Prodigy, FSOL, etc... I then discovered Raving - D&B, Jungle, Hardcore and ultimately techno.

My favourite club ever was, without a doubt, the Complex in Islington. It was my favourite place in the whole world. A home away from home. It was eventually destroyed, as with most things they touch, by Mean Fiddler. In the mid to late 90's I was DJ'ing reguarly in the UK and Europe.

club experience:

1996 to date: several gigs at small clubs and bars around London (Viaduct, Orange Bar, Pleasure Rooms, George the 4th, Medicine Bar, The Telegraph, Dukes, Electrowerkz, Dogstar and several University appearances, mainly Brighton)

Regular nights:

  • 2007 "Transitions" (Dukes&Electrowerkz)

  • Dec 02-Jul 03 “Sabotage” @ The Viaduct (London)

  • 2000-02 various sets for “Partysan” Mitteldeutschland in a promotional tour throughout Germany

  • 1998-2001 various sets for Shootclub Delitzsch (Germany), Tresor (Berlin), Matt&Matts (Angel, London) and residency at Echo (Soho, London)

  • 1997-99 Resident at Swallow (UK touring night, regular guest DJs such as Colin Dale (RadioOne), Colin Faver and Nikki Blackmarket

Festivals:

  • 1998 Rave Event (Slovenia)- organised by „Total-Attack Org“ ( incl. DJ Hell, Mike van Dyk and other worldwide wellknown DJ‘s from Vienna, Berlin, Paris, ljubljana and Maribor)

Radio experience:

  • 1996 to date: various radio appearances e.g. live @ RareFM with DJ Sharpz, Radio Blau (Leipzig, Germany) and some pirate stations

I am in the process of planning a regular minimal night around Brighton so watch this space..

I'm also employed full time as a professional in the Wine Trade and I have a three year old daugter called Sasha, to whom I devote most of my free time. I'm extremely passionate about food and wine. But ultimately I still like to think of myself as a musician at the end of the day. Don't we all? Rock and Roll people!!!
