background / biography
I've been a lover of all dance music since the early 90's. Listening to Rezerection hardcore tapes and zone/sequins in my early teens. Then as i started to go out into the club scene in the mid 90's i got more intrested in trance and would spend my weekends travelling round the country to differnt nights. As a continuation of this i found myself buying lots of trance cds to play at home.
As my collection grew i thought id try my hand at DJing so i bought my first decks (cdj 100's & djm 300). As trance evolved in the late 90's my musical tastes changed to the harder side if trance and hard house. After playing around with my Cd decks for a few years i wanted to try my hand with vinyl so splashed out on a Djm 600 and a single Technics 1210 but luckily for me HTFR messed up and sent me 2 1210's and charged me for one!!. I was still buying cds and now records building up my collection.
After hiting the club scene hard for 5/6 years i was burnt out, so took a break from it for a year and also from DJing. After this break i went to work over in Kavos,Greece for 2 years. This was the time when Hed Kandi was just starting to become big. While in Kavos i got a liking for more chilled house/funky house music. On my return to the UK i dusted my decks of and started to buy house & funky house and have a play with them at home. After this i Dj'd a few house partys and 18/21st and a few nights in the local pub.
In the last few years i have been playing around with a wide selection of differnt styles. I have been collecting some of the italian house classics that i used to here on the zone/sequins tapes . All along i have been buying trance & funky house/house tunes and still like to have a mix with all these styles. Id love to have more hardcore but with the rising costs of music i have to draw the line somewhere. I have always loved all types of dance music from house to dubstep to vocal trance and listen to most differnt styles on a regular basis. In the last year i have also upgraded my Cdjs the the Cdj400's. I dont overly push myself as a dj as i dont have the time to 'go out' DJing at the moment due to work commitments but am thinking of geting a bit more practise in and maybe doing some online mixes in the future, but who knows what the future holds!!
Thanks for reading and and questions dont hesitate to ask.
