It all started when i was about 13 years old, my pal who was a few years older than me gave me a carrier bag full of tapes jammed with pirate radio station recordings and underground tuneidge.............id never heard anything like it and was blown away, always wanting to tune into pirate radio stations in my dads car stereo in the mid 1990's in my hometown 'Birmingham', 808 State, LFO, Sweet exorcist, carl cox, prodigy, to name a few .............. Music never stopped for me......................As i progressed from Acid......... to Hardcore........... to Drum and Bass.................Jungle............ to House, i soon realised i liked a lot of styles.
I got my first set of decks when i was about 14-15 years old, trust me they were a djs nighmare but fun along the way........i always looked at myself as a bedroom dj who just loved to mix...always dreaming of a set of 1210s................. i would crusie around in my car listening to my own mix tapes with my pals who soon got into the vibe too, before we new it we was jamming at house partys all the time just for the love of the music.........and Cruising around in our cars playing our own sets............we felt on top of the world.......................Music was our life............
As the years went by, i started a family and the mixing was put on hold for a coupe of years..................
i eventually got the 1210s, however this only lasted about 2 years before i finally bit the bullet and converted to a set of pioneer cdj2000's.............
i have played out at a few low key gigs and private partys and feel alive with the music, so i suppose the rest is still yet to be written......
2011 : I mix with one of my closest pals Dom Amis aka dj Fr33dom ......2 x CDJ2000s and a DJM2000.............i'm mixing a lot of progressive house in my later years, it seems to be where im most happy @...............but watch this space................anything could happen.......
im recently in possession of a djm2000 and just getting to grips with the unit same as DJ Fr33dom .........what a machine............:)
