Part 1 of 2...
  
Recorded Live @ The Backroom, a small, intimate venue hidden behind one of Osaka's most respected Record Stores, Compufunk Records...   

The sound was wicked, you could feel and hear every detail in a track...  
I played for 6 odd hours to a room full of dedicated Techno Otaku's, who allowed me to DJ a very free, and indulgent set...  

I love playing in Japan, as their crowds allow you to explore your musical whims, to a depth that very few clubs in Europe truly experience...  

There are several Trax you will know, plenty you won't, as I played numerous 'Mong Trax' edits, and a few exclusive, unreleased 'Dubs' that I was Testing out for future releases...

Murf - Galaxy Club @ Compufunk, Osaka (Pt1)

As a vinyl junkie, I've been an ambassador for electronic music during a hedonistic 30 year career as a DJ at seminal clubs and events worldwide...

I've promoted, sold, recorded, lectured, played, collected, reviewed and breathed music since the age of 13, recorded numerous mix CD's both here in Europe and Asia including the first CD for Eukahouse's "Tech House Phenomena" series, 
and worked pushing huge amounts of Vinyl at numerous record stores over the years - Groove, Zoom, Koobla, Silverfish (pre-Eukatech Records), Instant Quality aka I.Q. Records and Covert Records (Brighton)...

After taking a long needed sabbatical (2001-2009) from the DJ circuit, where I ended my long standing resident slots at Edinburgh's Subtle Logic, and The End's flagship party Subterrain - where myself and Mr.C's now infamous 4hr sessions 
were witnessed every month until late 1999 - I've been busy twiddling knobs, trying to write a book, studying, got married, bought & sold a few houses, had two beautiful lil’ boys and made myself a family man!

For the last few years, I've been laying low working on various projects - building a new studio, writing some very deeeep shit, flying around the globe doing my thing, and now I'm in the process of setting up a very exciting new label...

I've been letting my record box get the better of me of late and started playing out with Vinyl again (there's soooo much good music out there!)...
I have come to regard myself as a serious music collector, who has acquired an immense record collection through the years, both as a club and radio DJ, and I've been lucky enough to travel all over the globe meeting some amazing friends and like minded people who share my knowledge, passion, respect and love for good music!

Some highlights: 
Berlin's Love Parade, Tribal Gathering, Club F.B. (Toyko), Final Frontier @ Club UK, Club Rockets (Osaka), tons of BEDLAM - yes I'm that Murf - Spiral Tribe parties, Subterrain, Wiggle, Key-Energy, Castlemorten (Where's Reggie gone?), Eurobeat 2000 @ Turnmills, Yeeak! Mayday Party, Notting Hill Carnival, JuJu, Yellow, Queen's, Circle, Re:Verb, Animated, Bunker, Kitchen, Technology, Children Of Chaos, Desire, Sativae, Black Sheep, Twisted, TRIP, Heart & Soul, TEXAS, Knowledge, Subtle Logic, Tresor, etc...

I've played alongside shed loads of people - here's a few I've had the pleasure to party with: 
Mr C., Sven Vath, Darren Emerson, Layo & Bushwacka!, Terry Francis, Dave Clarke, Dave Angel, Richie Hawtin, Joey Beltram, Roland Casper, 
Roy Davis Jr., Damon Wild, HELL, The Advent, Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Rolando, Styro 2000, Jungle Brothers, Marco Lenzi, Space DJ'z, D'julz, Get Fucked, Peach Boys, Asad Rizvi, Colin Dale, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Thomas Heckmann, Carl Cox, F.S.O.L., Stacey Pullen, Hardfloor, Laurent Garnier, Eddie Richards, Tyree Cooper, Swayzak, K.U.D.O., KCC, Tony Humphries, Harvey, DJ Miku, Suburban Knight, you get the picture...
