Liberation

Formerly Pleasure DJ, Simon Neal AKA Plain Dialogue started his musical journey back in 1991, buying vinyl and learning to mix during the early rave scene. He began to appreciate the more soulful/musical aspects of the rave scene influenced by DJs such as LTJ Bukem, Fabio and Grooverider, Kenny Ken and DJ Rap. From ‘94 he began to DJ at clubs in London and across Kent including London Astoria and Atomix in Maidstone. Inspired to get involved in production he hooked up with Karl Miller who owned a studio and taught him all aspects of music production, which back then was programming synths, samplers, mixing desk and sound modules.

After just 2 years he started to get noticed with tunes released on labels including Formation Records, 5HQ, Jazz and Bass/Shopfloor compilations, Grid Recordings (including remixes for DJ Zen), Illusion Records (his own label supported by Dylan) then onto Strictly Digital and Nookie's label Phuzion Records Digital.
