From the early days (1990) I’ve been listening to and collecting dance music. The happy hardcore and trance scene where it all began! listening in my little box bedroom with my decks wishing I was old enough to go clubbing at the likes of club kinetic in stoke to listening to early house music from the quadrant park in Liverpool. 

Progressed to clubbing at the beginning of the Cream days in Liverpool loving the annex and courtyard with oakenfold, Sasha and cox 😎 A little clubbing holiday to Ibiza in 1996 and then Clubbed all over the north west afterwards - Cream, Garlands, The State, 051, G-bar (Liverpool), Sankeys a firm favourite in Manchester, along with Back to Basics in Leeds and Miss Moneypenny’s in the midlands. Lots of local nights in North Wales called Manipulate hosted early sets from Yousef, Justin Robertson, Lewis Boardman to name a few. 

Another little stint when the Swedish House Mafia hit the scene and also Tiesto. Sensation White in Amsterdam along with nights in the UK.

Still have big love for the tunes, always will 🕺😎 

Had some brilliant nights over last few years at the WHP in Manchester enjoying Camelphat, Bicep and I’m still going strong. 

Have a set of decks for the vinyl collection I’ve amassed over the years and some pioneer controllers to boot. 

Still have a few years left in me on the club scene I think 🤪🥴🕺😎

Music engineer, Hip-hop fan, TripHop blogger for Mixmag and part time DJ. 

Bio: I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked in the studios with Nujabes & DJ Krush in Japan, session played my saxophone for Mr Scruff and Rae & Christian (UK), engineered for Bonobo, Quantic, DJ Cam and RJD2. I also do backing vocals for various Ninja Tune & Tru Thoughts label artists. 

At the moment i’m working on an album with Poetree, which will be a followup to his ‘Inner Orchestra album’ (voted best Triphop album since ‘Massive Attack’s Blue lines) – https://soundcloud.com/poetreemusic – definitely check his work out.

The LP will be fusing: jazz-beats-soulful-hiphop-cinematic-breaks
Due for download on Itunes: Early 2017, on VIRGIN

If i’m following you on soundcloud, it means i like your music taste, which helps to grow my music feed playlist. Feel free to say hello, and ask about my Triphop projects – but please dont ask for my mobile number. 

I enjoy talking music, and discussing hiphop production. I own various MPCs, but i do dust of my SP1200 from time to time. I’m a Logic user, sometimes pro-tools and just getting to grips with Ableton & Maschine. I’m happy to offer advice and swap advice to first time producers.

Currently based in the UK, but share time in America and Japan.
