Biografía (Español)
Timber, también conocido como el ‘Grand Supreme Timber Machine’, empezó en Belfast en el año 1999 con la cultura Hip Hop, bailando break y pinchando. En poco tiempo descubrió el mundo del soul, funk y música latina y en 2001 dejó su tierra natal para irse a vivir a Manchester, Inglaterra, con muchas ganas de buscar más discos y más información sobre su querida cultura. En 2008, cambió de nuevo su residencia, trasladándose bajo del sol Español en Barcelona, este vez con una reputación mundial como DJ y B-Boy. Timber ha pinchado en más de 20 países, ha ganado campeonatos de break en Europa y Estados Unidos con sus grupos y esta igualmente cómodo dando caña a la pista pinchando salsa (guaguanco, mambo, descarga, guaracha, boogaloo, guajira y tal), funk, soul, disco, breaks, rare groove, rap o una mezcla de todo!
Quick Biog (English):
Timber has a reputation as being one of the most exciting & entertaining DJs on the planet, a reputation founded on the principles of showmanship he learnt in his native Northern Ireland from the legendary b-boy crew “Belfast City Breakers”. The “One Man Army”, half DJ, half B-Boy, fully entertaining, self proclaimed “Fresh Prince Of Belfast” has a reputation as one of the hardest working DJs on the b-boy scene, always finding undiscovered gems & cutting them up alongside classic jams with sizeable finesse maintaining the real essence of what break DJing is all about.
Between 2001-2008 Timber lived in Manchester, England where he further honed and enhanced his skills becoming one of the finest B-Boys DJs in the UK, Europe and now undisputably the World. In April 2008 Timber relocated to Barcelona, Spain where he has quickly become the Spanish B-Boy..s DJ of choice. Currently a member of Bad Taste Crew (Ireland), Horsepower DJ Militia (Worldwide) & Mighty Zulu Kingz (Worldwide) Timber..s reputation of rocking dancefloors in clubs and b-boy jams with his b-boy skills and dynamite DJing dynamics grows and grows...and b-boys beware...if Timber catches you sleeping on the dancefloor he..s more than likely to jump out from behind the turntables and show you how to get down!!

"DJ Timber is the best break dj alive, you can't name any better than him! He was one of the very few break djs that kept the rough, rugged, and raw shit alive after Leacy passed away. He is huge inspiration for me. If it weren't for him, I would not be playing a lot of the breaks I play and there would be no Horsepower. So yeah......this is why he is the FATHER HORSE of the HORSEPOWER DJ MILITIA!"
B-Boy / DJ LEAN ROCK - Floor Lords / Flava Squad / Horsepower
'DJ Timber es el mejor break dj vivo, no puedes nombrar a ninguno mejor que el! El fué uno de los muy pocos break djs que mantuvo esto como es debido y la buena mierda viva después de que Leacy muriera. El es una gran inspiración para mi. Si no fuera por el, yo no estaría tocando un montón de breaks de los que toco y no estaría en Horsepower. Asi que si.....eso es por lo que el es FATHER HORSE del HORSEPOWER DJ MILITIA!'
B-Boy / DJ LEAN ROCK - Floor Lords / Flava Squad / Horsepower

"FRESH MUSIC = FRESH INSPIRATION"
I love music & I love B-Boyin. They are the two main passions in my life & as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with them. Without music, I would not be dancing and without dancing, I would have no need for music. The more I learn about music, the more I learn about dancing & the more i learn about dancing, the more I learn about music! Dancing has offered me an insight into DJing, especially for B-Boys, not just in terms of what to play, but when to play it and how to play it. Knowing how to play for B-Boys is almost as important as knowing what to play. I believe that Hip Hop is about taking what others have done before you and making it your own. As a B-Boy & a music lover (something every dancer should be) the thing that excites me the most is hearing music that I've never heard before, its like when you are presented with a plate of food which you'd never tasted before, the feeling you get when it agrees with you cannot be beaten. This is where I believe my insight as a B-Boy helps me as a DJ, its knowing what music agrees with the danceform that is B-Boying. To me, B-Boying is about dancing (not tricks!!) and dancing is about music, the more I learn about the various rhythms of the dance, the more I understand what music suites B-Boyin the best!
