    It is impossible not to be taken in by the massive love Five Alive has for drum n bass. Anyone that claims drum n bass is dead, dying or anything but 100% perfect should talk to this bouncy, baby-faced MC for a few minutes as he would soon convince them otherwise through sheer enthusiasm alone. It all started for MC Five Alive at the tender age of 8 by which time he was already dancing to a professional level. Aged 11, he began dancing at big ravers, and began meeting with various promoters on the scene at raves such as Batdance and Resurrection. These early meetings initially inspired him to promote his own events in Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, and alongside the Tenacious Soundsystem, a free party in Tring called "Summer Breeze" It was only after becoming dissatisfied with the MCs at the raves he was promoting, that Five Alive began to MC himself, and its been non-stop ever since. It wasn't long after the days of "Summer Breeze" that Five Alive performed at the first ever "Warning" in Cambridge. He has been a resident there ever since, and last year the crew celebrated their 10th Birthday. Ever since his first time at Warning he has played at all the major raves including Helter Skelter, Slammin Vinyl and Telepathy to name just three. To his credit he has also played at festivals, performed live on Radio 1 with Fabio and Grooverider, and travelled the world. It was during these first years of service that Five Alive first worked with Nookie. The two toured Japan in 1998 and for Five Alive it was a dream come true as he cites Nookie as being one of the two best producers in the business (Shy FX being the other). Another MC Five Alive dream was to MC for a massive New Years eve rave. This dream came true when he performed at World Dance at Wembley Arena in the late nineties. However in true hyperactive fashion, the minute this dream was realised Five Alive was straight on to setting new goals. He then went on to team up with Nookie as part of the Good Looking Records stable for the next few years, the pair toured extensively all over Europe and the rest of the world whilst being a consistant feature on GLO's Logical Progression line-ups. In the meantime Five Alive has continued to play on London's longest running pirate Kool FM alongside the likes of DJ Concrete, DJ Kane and DJ Hoodlum. He has toured with Infrared with J Majik and Wickaman , and provided the vocals for the latest Wickaman album. He is a regular at Grooverider's Prototype label nights at Fabric and of course Grace at Herbal on Sundays. He has also been a keystone at Essence of Chi, performing at almost all of their events from Plan B and Herbal, to their various tour nights and of course London Zu at the Scala. As far as the day job of being an MC is concerned, Five Alive is having the time of his life inciting crowds alongside DJs such as Nookie. Like any MC worth his salt Five Alive is sensitive to the music and how he can compliment it as an MC, but have no doubt that he will find a way to get you dancing because as far as Five Alive is concerned: "Its all about the party vibe…Zop zop!!" ..............
