RAVE ON 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Far too lazy (and tight) to put up much stuff here, but will try and change it now and again.

We're not just a sound wave, we're a movement.

I've been mixing vinyl since 1992, fucking around on a set of belt driven marantz decks in my mates bedroom... Started off mixing house and hardcore and spent an absolute fortune on records from 1991-1995. Djing whenever and wherever possible.. Got rid of all my kit and began mixing again in 2006. I've played regularly for BAD BASS in Bristol with the likes of Brockie, Dazee, Ramjack, Ray Kieth and other jungle legends.. I have a residency with Bristol Sounds Drum n Bass. I have also had the privilege to play on the Army truck at St Pauls carnival. My roots come from break beat hardcore, but I'm trying out making all sorts of genres of music as i've Dj'd everything over the years. have a listen guys and enjoy! I pride myself in still playing vinyl and adding to my fine collection!  New event to add to my list - landed a set at BOOMTOWN on the RAVEYARD stage!!!! Awesome!! Now producing music under the name Diligent on MasterPeace recordings the brainchild of DJ Mixjah!!! Thanks to those who supported the Amazon Jungle LP!!!! Recent signing to SIKKA BRAIN RECORDS the brain child of SIKKA - Peace

Influenced early in his career by the British Techno and House scene, later joined the underground anthems governed by legendary labels as Circulation, Moods & Grooves, Plastic City, Clone Records, Metroplex, Underground Resistance, and many others. He played in different cities in Europe and in the majors clubs in Brazil, experiences which made him one of the main references of high quality underground music born in São Paulo.
As a producer he has signed his first tracks in 2004 with Giant & Dwarf, Advanced Records, Frisbee Tracks and EvoPro Recordings.

Owner of 586 Records, in Gateshead. A vinyl only Record Store. All playing, all dancing music selector from Peterlee. Deein the DEX since Summer 1991. 

Resident at "Reverb" in Newcastle, early 2000's and more recently, Resident and co-promoter of "Suono". Occasional DJ for the superb Star And Shadow venue, in Newcastle. Happy, on the dancefloor, or providing the music for the dancers!.

Pretty much every mix found on here was done via 2 turntables, occasionally 2 cdj's and lots of cursing when I've been fighting to either get records in or to stay in. Rare is it, that I've used a computer or edited my mixes. I believe in keeping the human touch!!.

On this page you'll hear many of the tunes I grew up with and loved, around the 1990-1991 mark. I wasn't out clubbing at the beginning of the house explosion - I was listening to Deacon Blue, INXS, New Order, Joy Division, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and the type of "pop" that is now, more than likely, Balearic!.

I know it's a cliché, but I like to think that some of the mixes, almost tell a story - whether in the mood they create, or with the songs and lyrics within, that are used. Time, thought and a bit of effort have gone into them, so I hope you enjoy them and if you do, please feel free to share with friends - either by pointing them in the direction of my page, or downloading and putting onto disc and listening to, over and over again...x
