Toby Thurston was 10 when he first got into beats and his first vinyl (which he still has) was Pig Bag's "Papa's Got A Brand New Pig Bag" because of the massive drum break in the middle after that he just fell in love with beats and breaks.

His first ventures on the wheels of steel occurred in the mid 80's when he was bitten by the hip-hop and Electro bug. It was during this period that he developed his cutting and scratching skills on his first set of decks. Last year saw Toby Thurston play at Fantazia's only ever London rave alongside the likes of Grooverider.

He has brought his original flavas to the digital age now and his sets are unique and never predictable with live remixing and original vinyl scratching staying true to his roots and passion.
