Originally from Romford, East London, D`erb has been living in Christchurch, New Zealand since 1994. He has been mixing since 1982, starting with electro and early rap, moving through acid house and all forms of dance sounds, with jungle and drum and bass always being a big part of his musical selection. He has played many clubs, parties and radio shows in both countries.

D`erb has co-hosted the jungle show "Metrobeatz" on Christchurch RDU 98.5FM frequently over the past 26 years and is currently doing a monthly show on Drop FM.

He says, "It's 30 years since I started playing here in New Zealand. I want to give a big thanks to everyone along the way who has checked me in session or listened to any of my recordings. It has been a pleasure to bring the vibes and make people dance. Much love to all the famo!"
