I began my love affair with US garage/soulful house after visiting Hard Times in Leeds in around 94. I had been clubbing and collecting vinyl for the previous 2 years but listening to this kind of house music changed my mind. Listening to dj's such as MAW, Roger S, Jazz n Groove, Farley and Heller, CJ Mackintosh, Joey Negro and the Hard Times residents was a major influence on me from this moment onward. Other major influences on me were Graeme Park and also Danny Rampling and his now famous Love Groove Dance Party on Radio 1. I have been playing out for the last 15 years but have held 3 residencies in this time at Kube in Wakefield, Suave at Sugarbar in Nottingham and at my own night called Fusion on a Thursday at Gate Bar in Harrogate. I have also had guest slots at Soul Tonic (Mint Club, Leeds), Niteshift (Manchester), Mex Bar (Wakefield), Revolution (Bradford), Retro (Mission, Leeds and Bradford), PM Bar (Bradford), Tokyo (Huddersfield) and The Retreat (Huddersfield). I have played for the Hustle crew for the last 2 years and now play once a month in Barnsley at Opium No 10 bar and Blah Bar playing funky, late 90's classics and soulful vocal house music.
