After Dark 2 25/8/2001 - DJ Matrix MC's Stompin & Kingy - DJ Response - MC Massive & Ace

Huge fan of 90s eurodance, The New Monkey golden era and after dark.  Genres from makina, german trance, classic trance and electric 80s.

Originally from Spennymoor in the North East of England, but I have lived in 3 countries - England, New Zealand and Australia. I started listening to Hardcore / Italian / Hard Trance / Trance etc in 1995, after a school friend brought his brothers Blue Monkey tape in on a cassette player and I then started buying Colosseum & AD2 tapes as they were released weekly at Durham market. After emigrating to New Zealand in 1998 with my family, I started Mcing at events in 2000/2001, I was a resident at a weekly rave called Ikon 104, I also did other big events for other promoters - While I was doing that I started collecting vinyl, buying records off the DJ's I was Mc'ing for and local record shops, but unable to play them as never had decks. In 2002 we emigrated to Australia - eventually I got a pair of decks and started mixing in 2002/2003, in 2004 I moved back to England and started Djing at various events - in 2005 I got a weekly spot at the New Monkey in Sunderland and I was there until the police raided it and closed it down in March 2006 - By 2008 I'd had enough of doing raves and sold everything and pursued other things in life, but in 2019 I got the urge to mix again, so bought decks and started recording sets - I'm not looking for live sets anywhere so please don't ask - all sets recorded on my page are made for the purpose of my enjoyment while training or driving - playing tracks I love, some you may not have heard any other DJ's play and that was one of my main passions when I was Djing live to play what others didn't and people have never heard before and I spent hours searching the world for new fresh sounds and ended up bringing a lot of "unknowns" into the scene which many others are still playing today. I also enjoy producing music when I get time and have made several which are worthy of a listen - Check them out!!

Former DJ at The New Monkey club Sunderland.

Listen to and mix many genres but favourites are German trance, Classic Trance, Italo dance & Makina.   

Used to be a regular on the monkey dance floor and the other big raves of that era. 

Got my first decks in 2000 - some Kam direct drives then upgraded to some technic 1210’s in 2001. In 2003 I ended up selling up but continued rave and started to MC at a few clubs in 2006, raves such as Powerhouse, Dark base, Dimensional & The Darkside under the name MC Bit. 

Few year ago I stared to get back into the tunes after listening to a Matty O set and decided to purchase some pioneers at the back end of 2018, in 2019 I managed to get my hands on some Technic 1200 Mark 2’s - can't beat a vinyl mix!

Hope you enjoy the mixes 😎
