October2017dnbmix

All these tunes in this mix was played on vinyl , using technics1210s and a laptop with audacity to record . All the runes are originals from around the millennium period, that I collected over the years. It reminded me of the once already referred to as ‘old skool ‘ back in 89. So I started to see a 10 year pattern in popularity in breakbeat.

Specialist in breakbeat since 1982, with influences originally from the b boy culture and the uk hip hop underground scene.
My sets are combined with other styles and flavour's including old skool rave, house, nu skool breaks, hardcore, garage, jungle & Dnb.
New music i present is mixed digitally mainly out of convenience, whilst the more old skool media is mixed on turntables using vinyl of which i started collecting when i was 8 years old. The first record's that i ever bought was Electro 2 by street sounds and Rocket by Herbie Hancock, both of which influenced me massively. The music that I collected as a kid, paved the way for my infactuation with all these amazing genre's we have now. Also being  born in the late 1970's, I feel very lucky to have been influenced by the music that led to hip hop and house. I spent many years as a raver, going out and enjoying the early days of rave, which I was lucky enough to have on my door step as a kid in hackney.
For me, London and the dance music scene is something I will allway's love and hold very close to my heart.
