A bit of a mish mash - Bizzare Inc (early works), Iggy Pop (early works), Fantasy FM, Dave the Drummer, DJ Attitute, Punishment Farm Studios, the studio hoover, Dave Clarke, Tresor club and label, Megadog DJs, Rachel Wallace, Suburban Base Records, Moving Shadow Records, Liberator DJs, Julie DJ Thunderbird, Joy Division, Chillin' FM and the famous pot noodles, old skool piano riffs and big dirty bass kicks - anything tough with lots of percussive beats; love uplifting female vocals, especially in dark techno tracks. Am influenced greatly by everyday sounds and noises, which inspire me and make me desperate to get the mic out and record!! The kettle is my sound of the moment!
