BACK IN THE DAY .I suppose i started as a dj at about the age of 14 cutting up electro tracks using a double tape deck , Listening to John Peel late at night with my finger on the pause button of my dads single tape recorder i would listen patiently to the whole show waiting for him to play the early hip hop tunes i craved. I soon started buying american imports from an independent record shop in town and soon built up a collection , some of which i still have today.
CLUBLAND - .Loved it - still do - The first rave i ever went to was the first night at The Orbit at Osset . I went religiously every weekend going to the motorway service stations after the club and met up with other clubbers where we chatted as to which club we had been to that night ,,,those days where the best it was still underground and it was ours.
DJ - . I first played out at a pub in York called The Queens on Lawrence Street ,,I had a set of belt driven BD22 Technics at home and had been practising for about a year when going into that pub changed my life ,,the local lads had some decks in there and i was invited to play,,As our little scene grew so did my confidence and i have never looked back Dj ing at parties all over the country.In 2000 i got my first residency at Club Non in Huddersfield at a night called F.U.S.E which was a hard house/ trance night where i played along side Jay Hankin / Matt Hardwick / Ed Real / Tidy Boys & Girls to name but a few , This residency finished in 2002  as the trance scene sadly had had its day.
OUT DOORS - Trance had been a love of mine for over 10 yrs but my musical interests had changed over the years and i started playing anything and everything from electro - breakbeat and band remixes which lead me into the fun world of the illegal outdoor partys . As the Free Party Federation ,  myself and others put on party,s in and around York which we advertised through a pirate radio station http://www.equinoxyork.net/ This lead to a later project Ltd Addiction which i ran with Dj Ohm Bass and others .This was an old skool cross electro breaks night which ran for about 3 Years at various venues

CURRENTLY - I now create mixes / remixes and original tracks in my home studio , my love of the dance tune is still alive and well and as for clubland 37 days till Creamfields , 

                 THANKS   -   DJ LIGHTFINGER
