All kinds of Psychedelic Trance music…
Welcome to my musical journey, come on...
Join me!!!

My love for music started within the progressive house and underground scene in the early 90's as a regular clubber at many nights such Cream in liverpool,Kinetic in Longton Stoke-On-Trent ( a big music scene area for a small town with many other great music venues such as Golden, and Shelleys laserdome big iconic clubs)  & Renaissance nights to watch the likes of Todd Terry and David Morales in their early years as dj's,  and this set my mind and pushed my passion for music even more and to want to be a dj myself.  And ever since i've never looked back, Spending many hours travelling to different citys like Manchester to spend hours in shops like vinyl exchange looking for hours on end for them great tracks to play in my sets, then heading to the next shop like Eastern Bloc near piccadilly spending all my earnings from my regular day job on vinyl.
 there was no better feeling like actually holding the music in your hands, unlike today with technology changing and music going digital, you'll never beat the feeling of vinyl there's something about it. 
then later on when everthing turned digital with cdj's which orignally I wasn't such about it,  as it had sync buttons and things to make djing even easier so anyone could learn to be a dj, and the art of djing to me this kind of killed it I thought at first, as it was a skill not everyone could get to grips with on vinyl as you had to have an ear for it. but after learning more about the cdj's i learnt you could do so much more like loop & tracks with them and have hot cues it opened up a whole new world so i could make my sets unique compared to other dj's and make myself stand out different and have my own style, and make the tracks i bought sound different even more and putting my own stamp and creativeness on things which has made it even more exciting.
i have only done a few mixes on here i'd admit they might not be the worlds best, but my tune selection is epic and over the years i have gained the knowledge on how to read a crowd and take them on a musical journey and bring a good vibe to any event I play out live at.
