Life hasn't been easy for him and after a ten year break he is back producing music again. He can only hear in one ear, but as a mono individual it never slowed him down in his music career. He wants to incorporate uplifting and bassy sounds to his own style of Hip Hop.

I started off with a controller after a weekend where I'd heard Acid Ska for the first time, I got this want to show the world this and Acid Techno that I had fallen in love with in London. 

I had played at a free party and a shebeen but had been watching people spin vinyl for years and I loved it I then set out to get turntables and vinyl. 

I got a set of old kam direct drives around eight years ago and played vinyl in Belfast and Dublin getting to share my favourite tunes over the floor through swanky fat rigs.

Our old collective now disbanded (BTribal) put on a few nights in 2016 and smashed 2017 with all sorts of Acid, Tekno and Techno alongside DnB, Jungle and much more, especially at our biggest event UMAD which was a festival that hosted over 125 People over two days in the beautiful hills of outback Ireland. We had our own radio station over @ www.BTribal.Eu we hosted shows on it having had Biri, Nesbit, Tiddles, Jula, Acid Steve, Nigel Keane, Tik Tok, Paul the hat, Sted Helvis, Phil Devious and so many many more! It also acted as a hub for the underground scene, promoting parties with a chat section for the radio.

After a 5 year break I've gotten turntables now in 2023 and I'm ready to blast out the Acid!
