Lots of favourites of mine in there, on the download.

A largely House-based selection of tracks I combined for my girl this Christmas. A couple of wicked oldies are lurking, but this is generally speaking a mix celebrating everything that's good about House music in the last year.

Grimey - Mix For Paulina

**2012 mixes on Mixcloud**

Now entering my 17th year on the decks, I gained my enthusiasm for DJing in the closing months of the 20th century. In the time since, my early passion for the more Progressive and Tribal end of House music embarked upon an increasingly breakbeat-laden journey, eventually settling on Drum and Bass for a great many years. Primary influences were Prog House pioneers like Sasha, John Digweed and Danny Howells; meanwhile, Bukem and the GLR crew were the first to catch my attention at 170 bpm. 

After initial club experience playing in and around the northwest UK, I moved back to London in 2006 and won a DJ competition run by Drum and Bass Arena, playing a set at London’s Ministry of Sound b2b with Metalheadz’ DJ Bailey. Soon after, I was chosen as one of the four finalists for BBC 1Xtra’s Breaking New Talent competition. I managed to progress and win the competition after two rounds of on-air mixing and public voting, venturing on tour with the BBC as a result. 

In the time since, I’ve been lucky enough to play for promoters in all four corners of the UK as well as overseas for events in Spain, Holland, France, Belgium, the Czech Republic and Morocco. In 2008 I joined the residential ranks at the DNB scene's biggest promoter, Innovation, and was signed to their Artist Management Agency. Soon after, I appeared in glossy Drum and Bass magazines Knowledge and ATM’s ‘Leaders of the Nu Skool’ and ‘Give ‘Em Props’ features. I've also been invited to play on DNBTV on two occasions.  

I’ve developed a real love for the airwaves too over the years; initially on the internet only for now-defunct stations Keen and Kunninmindz before graduating to the family of London’s finest pirate, Rude FM 88.2. I ran my show on Rude for five years; for a six month period, I also ran The Innovation Show for Ministry of Sound Radio. I have had guest mixes featured on Bassdrive, Dublin 104.6FM, Code South, Mix FM, Protokol, Witness The Sickness and London’s Life FM and Manic FM. 

Around 2011, the sad reality dawned ever stronger that new Drum and Bass just doesn’t push my buttons like it used to do. As a result I’ve spent a lot of time returning to my first loves House and Techno, together with some furtive experiments into mixed-genre DJing. I'm happy to say that this has injected a huge amount of welcome fresh air into my time on the turntables, so keep an eye out for more mixes along these lines from now on.
