I started this mad musical quest in the early ninties DJing in local clubs and bars.
And before long I was being booked by such clubs as The Cross, Leisure lounge, and Escape. In 98 I spent the summer in Ibiza. While I was there I met many producers and decided that was what I wanted to do. I spent the next few years learning Logic, Protools, and Reason software.
In 2001 I had 2 releases with Lee Jones under the name 'Country Gents'. The first was released on Transfusion entitled 'Faithfully Stoned'. The second,'Time Passes' was on Pear Music, and made tune of the month in mixmag Jan 2002.
In 2003 I teamed up with fellow producer Damon Goss and became vocalist / co-producer for a new project we called 'Retrostate'. We had Three releases through Fat Fox Records in 2004 under various pseudo names . The next two years were spent writing and producing in the band "Lazlo".
In 2006 I formed Eyereel Allstars. Our releases include "Slowdown" on Duffnote Records which includes mixes by Richard Earnshaw, and "Get it on" on Redstick Recordings (Strictly Rhythm) which includes mixes by Soul Seekers, Harlem Hustlers, and Fish'n'Chips.
I teamed up with Steve Forest and Chriss Ortiga for the track 'Modern Times', which was released on Strictly Rhythm's Redstick recordings in spring 09. The package included remixes by Simon De Jano, Chriss Ortiga, & Morgan Page, and reached No.20 in the US Dance charts in June 09.
In December 2008 I remixed Steve Haines track 'In Deep' for Soulheat Records.That led to our collaboration on "Beautiful Found" released on Oscar P's Open Bar Label in july 09.
Both 'Slowdown' and 'Get it on' have appeared on Hed Kandi Beachouse 2008, Hed Kandi USA Summer Mix, and Hed Kandi Disco Heaven 2008.
The track 'Lullaby' is a new Eyereel Allstars release due in 2010 on Duffnote Records. And the follow up to Modern Times with Steve forest called "Close to me" is also due for release in 2010.
All the bootleg tracks are produced by myself and Paul Butlin under the name Kulo Bonito, purely for our DJ sets. So we thought we would share these with you. You can download them as soon as you become a fan.
