Everything from progressive electro to Hard Dance...plenty of psy trance too! You'll hear most genre's of house music eminating from my speakers...
Bedroom DJ since 2001. Played out on a good few occasions at mates birthday parties and a few times in Addlestone at a mates pub. Every other weekend I can be found bangin out my newest tunes at my mates place in Bromley....where the neighbours never sleep!!
I love my old school tunes...Tori Amos - Professional Widow, Josh Wink - Higher State of Consciousness, Kernkraft 400 - Zombie Nation... To name but a few...
I have a lot of time for the German techno sounds, hence the love affair with DJ Networx and Tunnel Trance Force. The older stuff of theirs is absolutely brilliant.
I started off, as a lot of dj's do, listening mainly to hard house, heading out to the gay clubs in Cape Town cos that was where we could find our weekly dose of hard-as-nails house music. I moved to London in 2000, and my 1st party was The Fridge nightclub, Escape from Samsara. This became a regular start to the weekend, with a crowd unparalleled at any other event i've been to. Always a top evening.
I started dj'ing in 2001 on a set of Gemini PT2000 Mk1's, and they stayed with me for many years. In 2002 I tried cd mixing for the 1st time on a mates pair of Pioneer cdj-100's. By now the bug had truely bitten and I was amazed at how simple the cd's were compared to the vinyls.
I bought myself some Sony PS-DJ9000's, and they would be my turntables til 2007, when I finally saved up the cash for my Stanton's.
By now I'd gotten into my cd mixing a bit more and in 2007 I bought myself a set of Pioneer cdj-200's which were faithful servants until this week, June 2009, when I decided quality would win out over the effects the 200's had on offer, so i upgraded to a pair of Pioneer CDJ 1000's. What an amazing set of dex! The quality and precision is brilliant.At the beginning of 2011 i packed up and left London, in search of a new challenge in life, and unfortunately had to sell all of my gear in the process. It was sad seeing all of my equipment and vinyls sold off to fund my travels, but i knew that at sum point in the future i would have the means to purchase more equipment.Xmas 2012 i received a present from my mates in London, a brand new limited edition white Numark Mixtrack Pro controller. It was a little strange getting used to a controller and Traktor software, but i am absolutely loving being able to mix again! After almost 2 years of not having the opportunity, my enthusiasm knows no bounds!
Music is something you feel.
It is something you cannot get taught how to appreciate.
It just flows through you, fills you up, and explodes out of you in a rhythm of dance....
Dj'ing is the art of imperceivably threading together the melody and rhythm of 2 or more different tunes in such a way as to create an entirely new sound that is pleasing to the ear...
I strive to create this appreciation in every set I mix...
