So, this one time in 1999/2000... we bootlegged Dido and then somehow managed to get her to listen to it... she loved it and told the label to release it :)

Dido - Take My Hand (Thompson & West Mix)

From Jan 1994 - Nov 2003 (alongside Tim Pearson, Stoke's finest) I ran Feel, one of the UK's most successful club brands. 

Throughout this time I was the club's resident DJ, playing alongside Dave Seaman, John Digweed, Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold and Timo Maas, to name but 5. 

Other highlights included:  playing regularly for Cream and Gatecrasher; signed to Boy George's management company Red Parrot; gigs throughout Europe, most memorable: Exogroove, Milan & Amnesia, Ibiza; peaked at 134 in the DJ Magazine Top 100 DJ's poll (2002); ran Pacifica Recordings (with Tim & Christian Parkinson) writing and releasing 17 tracks, several of which were signed to GU compilations; remixed many more. 

In Nov 2003 I effectively retired from life as a professional DJ, promoter, musician and record label boss. I now work run events agency, Mammoth Events (with Amanda Gilmour).

I put together the occasional mix (currently averaging one a year). This usually coincides with the wife having a busy social/work period.
