Well what can i say, grew up with both of my parent's both really into music, huge collection of vinyl between the two of them, but the stuff that really interrested me was all the early synth sounds that i was hearing amongst there collection.

By the time i was about 15 dance music was changing ie Disco had hit the melting pot and we now had Electro/Early House and thats when i heard ppl mixing vinyl together, my interest just grew from there.

By 1990 i had gone out and bought a pair of 1210's and a two channel KAM mixer, sat down and got my head round the hardware, learning to mix wasn't an issue as i had played the piano and drum's at school so it was just applying some rules from druming in regards of beatmixing.

Played out at some club's ie Zanies - Keat's and a few outdoor Party's on the isle of wight.

Everybody on the island was really into House, but i was playing alot of different genres ie Techno/Electro/Abstract/House/Electronica and Ambient..... And being punished by the DJ community for not conforming to just one style.......So i became dispondant and stopped mixing sold my deck's and gave most of my vinyl to a m8 of mine.....Which was stupid!

Now more than 15yrs later my ears have let me know that i should of never listened to them, so i went out and bought some more equipment, a pair of CDj 2000's and a DJM 400k...And it's the part that has been missing from my life for to long........

"Now it's practice,practice....practice and then some.... practice!"

Im an artist who makes music out of love. Maybe im just a daydreamer but I don't seem to care about things other people find important. Theres more to life then what we perceive and I hope my music gets that message across. Much Love -Ether
