Moving back to the UK in late 2001, Wags set to work on his most well know project. "Throb" a techno night set up with 4 close friends saw Wags taken on co promotion and residency duties.The club played host to many rising stars of the British and European Techno scene. The club ran for just over 3 years and saw acts like Surgeon, Paul Damage, Space DJ's, Subhead, Mark Hawkins, Neil Landstrumm and Inigo Kennedy play to a hungry crowd of techno heads desperate for there fix after the demise of the Orbit. Since Throbs closure Wags has spend his time perusing his two great passions in life, studio work and Cycling.
