Music
I have liked so many styles over the years. Been very open minded with music and listened to loads of indie bands, as well as ska and reggae when I was younger and I used to play drums in a thrash band in the 80's. I sold my kit when we split in 1988, got some turntables, and never looked back. Started playing acid/italo house in clubs, then belgium techno/rave, breakbeat, hardcore, house, techno, breaks, electro, trance, freeform, psy trance.. pretty much most dance music styles except RnB which I hate with a passion!Currently residencies are... Fridays @ Earth - Altitude playing house/electro/trance/hard dance. Saturdays @ Mojo West playing house/electro/breaks
Also Karma @ Earth Nightclub where I am playing anything from trance to hard dance. I like to be diverse as I am always listening to new sounds and try push what I can at the right places. I am also a big fan of playing some older tunes in most of my sets. I can't be arsed listing any artists or labels as I like so many I could go on and on and on and on, but I generally live, breathe, eat, and shit music
About me: I started playing in clubs in 1989 and still loving it 18 years later playing around 3 nights a week around Adelaide. I have played in most major cities in Australia and also toured the UK in 2002 and played in Las Vegas in 2003. My life and work is all music based so I can't complain! In June 2007 at the South Australian Dance Music Awards, I was honoured to pick up the most popular label, most popular overall DJ, and was inducted into the hall of fame.. STOKED!!!
I run my own company called Direct Vinyl Distribution and I also run the 3 Volatile Records labels (Volatile NRG, Volatile Trance, & Volatile Whites).

Volatile NRG 5 gets a September 07 DJ Mag Review
Narc
Institution
Volatile NRG
Narc is at the forefront of the hard house scene in Adelaide, Australia where the sound mirrors the UK scene, and he's now making his mark internationally with productions such as this. 'Institution' is high octane, hair raising hard house of the highest order, dropping into a dark judgemental type vocal in the breakdown before unleashing viciously filtered, snarling synth riffs so strong that they could strip paint from the walls of a nightclub. A massive thumbs up for the man from down under! 5/5 (Simon Eve - DJ Mag Issue 49 Sep 07)
