MUSIC FOR THE CLUED UP MOVERS AND SHAKERS OF THE WORLD.YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!
>> 
Ask UK producer COCKROACH, where it all began, and he’ll tell you about waking up on the platform of Leeds train station, waiting for the early morning post-train back to his home town of Scarborough. He had been to see punk band, The Exploited, at a club called ‘Branningans’, and he had to get back for school that morning - he was thirteen years old. The seeds had been well and truly planted a few years before, with the remnants of The Sex Pistols, and The Clash,still reverberating through the live music scene. This had an impact on COCKROACH and travelling up and down the country to see bands became the norm. The punk scene was something special so it was here, on the post-train to Scarborough in his early teens that he realised, music was life and life was music…
