I started DJing way back in 1986 mixing Hip Hop and House music. When the Rave scene burst onto the scene I quickly got involved playing at local parties in Redditch. As the scene grew I started playing out a lot more, at first it was at the free illegal parties that where kicking off around the Oxford area. Then came the opportunity in 1992 to play at Rumours in Evesham where I managed to get a Residency playing every Friday and Saturday. This was where i met many Dj..s and friends including Donovan Bad Boy Smith and Bryan Gee. It was when i made friends with Donovan that things really started to move along for me and I started producing my own tunes. In 1994 I gave everything up in the music scene due to family commitments.
After a long break I finally decided to get back into the whole scene in 2007 and started producing and DJing again. I now co-own my own record label with Richie K and I am currently playing Oldskool from 91-94 along with Jungle, Drum n Bass and Hardcore Breaks.
You can catch me spinning the best in Hardcore Breaks every 2 weeks on Pure FM 97.5 in The Midlands and also on the internet at www.afterdarkradio.info
Somewhere at an undisclosed location, evil scientists have been developing a serum of broken beats, basslines, Digital visual and spray-can art, so potent it will raise the dead. After what has seemed like an age Graffiti Breakz is proud to present the effects of our serum...
.....We give you Graffiti Breakz – The Resurrection.! Sat 31st Oct ’09 (Halloween)
Graffiti Breakz has gained the reputation of being one of the only events in London to successfully combine Breaks, Hardcore Breaks, Drum and Bass’ Live music and Live Graffiti art all under one roof
Now with a larger venue and longer opening hours we will be adding to the mix Dubstep’ Electro/Dubstep, Live Breaks acts, Full Graff art Instillations, Full Graff Art Galleries, More Giveaways, Brighter Lights, and Louder bass to create a vibe re-born; stronger and more electric than any Graffiti Breakz so far..
All 3 rooms will be in session to their full potential. As you enter the rhythm factory you‘ll be met by the artwork of some of London’s leading artists showcasing at the Graffiti Gallery.
As you pass the gallery instillation, and live 6’x4’ Artwork being created in the front bar you arrive in the main room bursting with Live Acts’ DJ Teams, visual displays and much more.
Drifting further into the East London venue, you will find dirty dubstep, kick driven breaks, and the addictive rumble of dark and dirty bass.
Gracing the stages of the 2 Dance floors we have a line up that includes award winning Djs; Apply The Breaks, pioneering producers; Ctrl-z, inspiring funk soul band; Junkyard scientists, and leading the way in the live breaks scene; Diverted. With Duel Calibre’s tear-out sound belting through the 7k rig there’s be something to wake every corpse
Australia's first Jungle Tekno label, 'ANOMALY' is proud to present the release of their fresh sounding debut EP - the REFLECTION EP! Bringing the J-Tek sounds from Down Under, this EP sees up-and-coming producer Kranky joining forces with veteran Lethal (aka Stu Chapman of hardcore breaks duo 'Stu & Nee') to bring you two very contrasting tracks, which are both sure to get the dancefloor moving with a uniquely Aussie vibe.

It is not about me, that I get listeners. Anyone who knows me, knows that this is not my art. It is more important to me, that I have two, maybe even three unreleased tunes from my collection, i would like to imagine.
These tracks gave me a brandnew producers from Germany, and they are ABSOLUTE WORLDCLASS TOP TUNES in the spirit of NU OLD SKOOL HC BREAKBEATS. These promos will NOT be Uploaded or posted in forums o.e.! FOR THE FIRST TIME. But the releases coming hopefully out that quarter of 2008.
Incidentally, I will play unbelievable, newly acquired wheels of the styles from 1992 to 94.
It is not a big event. But two or three things in the show are in any case something very special. Had I not made those mühe if I do not really tunes from the so convinced. They are worth a little time to take. Its your choice, hehe.
If you look me in the break Pirates chat to welcome & fals you less in chat dares to come, then you simply logged with WinAmp* or OldSkoolTuner** in the stream. Fals did ask her, writes me.
C ya & BIG SHOUTS OUT TO ALL WHO KEEPIN THE VIBE ALIVE
