Our deepest fear . . .
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? ... Your playing small doesnt serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. ... And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Nelson Mandela

Between The Cracks launched in July 2008 with the aim of being more focused on dance music than the previous club nights Warboy has been involved with. The first two parties have already attracted a broad crowd, including some of the exciting new faces to have arrived in London. Although it’s more focused on the music policy it still incorporates art and performance. The night promises to encourage and nurture new ideas and talent.
I Love This Song launched at the end of 2008 offering something very different to everything else Warboy has been promoting. This fun packed, light-hearted night out has Djs that take requests for songs over the past decades, competitions, and synchronised dancing. Here Warboy DJs as his alter ego Uncle Jim.
The Shoot Series is a limited edition of six nights that Warboy is working on with Scottee and Hey Joe. Each night is themed around a different social issue affecting Britain. Artists are invited to show and create work based around the theme. Shoot To Kill was the first in the series and explored gun and knife crime. Shoot Your Load looked at sex and sexual health. Shoot For The Stars was about the impact of celebrity culture. The remaining three nights will be staged as bigger events throughout 2009.
All You Can Eat was one of the leading club nights around Nu Rave that Warboy promoted with K-tron. Within months of its launch in January 2006 i-D magazine had identified the impact it was having calling it ‘the Taboo of the generation’. The nights were characterised by the slamming together of different ideas and influences including rock, rave, new bass driven dance music, performance, and art. The nights were loosely themed and gave the audience and artists the opportunity to let their minds run riot. They took a wild, almost chaotic, and hedonistic approach to clubbing. Although the club had no dress code policy the regular, colourful crowd still ended up having an influential impact on the fashion trends of the time.
Kash Point had a big influence on Warboy during his days as a regular to the weekly night. In 2004 he joined founder Matthew Glamorre to help promote Kash Point. During this time the club went monthly and threw big themed parties that attracted a cross section of dressed up people across London. With Yr Mum Ya Dad and Ryan Styles working on the door during this period Kash Point had once again proven its incredible knack at encouraging the new avant garde talent. Warboy left Kash Point in 2005 to concentrate on other projects but has been back helping out on the occasional Kash Point parties that Glamorre has been throwing in 2008. These nights still prove to be packed with some of the most outrageous and creative people in London.
DJ
Warboy’s DJing has evolved a lot over the past few years from the original mash up style of Nu Rave into much heavier, bassy sets. He draws on rhythmic bass-driven music with vocal content. Fidget house, dirty electro, tech, and slamming percussion shape his peak time sets. He has also developed a later night sound that is more stripped down but avoids falling into minimal.
He has played at some of London’s most respected nights for interesting dance music that pushes new ideas forward, including Trailer Trash, Bastard Batty Bass, Wet Yourself, Always Fridays, Get Rude, All You Can Eat, Anti-Social, and Kash Point.
He has been a resident DJ at Anti Social, Foreign, Nude, and Calling All Tribes.
He has played in many of London’s established clubs including Ministry of Sound, Fabric, 333, Heaven, and Egg. He also contributed regularly to Jonty Skruff’s Ministry of Sound radio show.
Some of the countries Warboy has played include: USA, Russia, Spain, Italy, UK, Denmark, Norway, Finland.
PRODUCER
2008 has seen Warboy start to concentrate more on his production again. His anthemic floor stomper London’s Getting Dirty featuring Mama Shamone is due for release on A New Hope Records early in 2009 with lots of new remixes. Shoot To Kill featuring Lippy Lou is due to released shortly after.
Head Surfin, a track he wrote with Misty Woods a few years ago, has recently been released on a Some Bizarre compilation.
It’s A Celebration, another track featuring Mama Shamone, appeared on a CD project for Playground magazine which is now in the permanent collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York.
He is currently remixing and writing new tracks for a number of recognisable faces on the London scene so expect to see a series of releases early in 2009.
He recently wrote eight new songs with writing partner Nigel Stewart that have been performed by performance artist Scottee as part of the Buy A Better You show. The songs are written in the genre of musical theatre and are accompanied by piano and violin. They portray the complex, emotional relationship between Scottee and his mother. BABY is currently being developed to take to the Edinburgh Festival next year.

I love his work and some how there is a connection, he completely understands my points of view, and I let him run with it. The end result is always good.

Do the crowd go with him? You bet! The more twisted, the more they like it.

London's Getting Dirty - Quite possibly the best track to come out of the underground
London club scene - ever. The floor filler from Warboy featuring Mama Shamone has been sound tracking every dressed up disko from Soho to Shoreditch and has got more mainstream potential then you could possibly imagine.
