Biography
I GREW UP LISTENING TO AC/DC, SAXON, IRON MADEN, NORTHERN SOUL FROM MY SISTERS ROOM TO THE JAM, THE WHO, SMALL FACES, 9 BELOW ZERO FROM MY BROTHERS AND 18 YEARS OF THE PUB JUKEBOX DOWN STAIRS. I STARTED GETTING INTO ELECTRO AND HIP HOP AT ABOUT 13/14. I REMEMBER WATCHING BEAT STREET FOR THE FIRST TIME A BEING BLOWN AWAY. I TRIED MY HAND AT AT BREAK'IN BUT JUST LOOKED LIKE AN ARSE SO GAVE THAT UP. I STARTED OUT CLUBBING IN CHESTER,(BACK IN THE DAYS OF SHIRTS AND TIES) AT A CLUB CALLED CAFE SOCIETY, WHERE A GUY CALLED JOHN LOCKE USED TO PLAY FUNK AND EARLY BREAKS. I JOINED THE ARMY AT 17 AND WAS POSTED TO GERMANY IN 1988. LUCKILY THE HASSELHOFF GERMAN MUSIC MOVEMENT NEVER APIELED TO ME, SO ID LISTED TO EARLY MIX TAPES OF DAVE DOREL, ALISTER WHITEHEAD, MATTHEW ROBERTS AND A LIKE SENT OVER FROM THE UK. I SPENT ALOT OF TIME ON TOURS OF DUTY FOR THE FIRST 4 YEARS SO MISSED THE RAVE SUMMERS BUT STARTED GOING TO GLOBAL GROOVES BOAT PARTIES, CREAM, MONEYPENNYS AND WOBBLE IN BIRMINGHAM WHERE I SAW MR MORALES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND BOUGHT MY FIRST SET OF TECHNICS THE VERY NEXT WEEK. OVER THE YEARS I'VE PLAYED IN A VARIETY OF PLACES SOME GOOD SOME AWLFUL, IVE NEVER MADE IT, AS YOU MIGHT SAY BIG IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM, I JUST ENJOY GOOD MUSIC IN WHAT EVER GENRE THAT MAY BE, AND THIMK I ALWAYS WILL. THANKS, DAVE.
