Moonboots started DJ-ing back in 1988 following the acid house explosion in the UK.
After many nights out at the Hacienda he got himself a job working at Eastern Bloc Records in Manchester. He worked there for nine years and this led to many DJ-ing slots around MCR at nights such as Luvdup, Most Excellent and Robodisco.

He then started his own night, Aficionado with another local DJ, Jason Boardman. This ran every Sunday for ten years and featured guests such as Todd Terje, Greg Wilson, Phil Mison, Bill Brewster, Sean P, Mudd
and most of the UK's underground Balearic and disco DJs.

Since then, it has run as a quarterly event and is now into its 16th year.

Running alongside the night is his& Jason's highly rated 12" vinyl only label, Aficionado Recordings. Now up to the 10th release, it has featured releases by Shawn Lee, Joan Bibiloni, Brenda Ray& Tempelhof.

As well as guesting all over Europe and the US, Moonboots compiled SoundColours Volume 3 in 2000& Originals Volume 1 for Claremont 56 in 2008. He has also compiled the forthcoming Javier Bergia album on Emotional Rescue and curated the Is it Balearic 'First Five Years' collection from the summer of 2014.

Moonboots - Buena Onda Mix

After a long break due to family matters and issues that has needed attending, i am finally producing music again. It has been a rough 6 months and maybe this piece reflects that. This is sort of an apology for my absence and a statement, that i will release and make music on a regular basis again. This is a jam with my friend Martin (Piano) and myself (general production and guitar). I hope you enjoy it. More music to be released on different labels. My soundcloud however, will remain my channel to share free music that is more laid-back and listener friendly.
