I regrettably sold all my dance records about 18 years ago (very hard times, I guess!) and there were some right bangers in the collection. I'm sure the person who bought them at the time is laughing now! However, my collection has got back to where it was which includes not just dance music but hip hop, soul, funk and reggae.

The first record I owned was 'Roxanne Shante go on girl', given to me by my dad, which I still have. I taught myself how to mix on a new AKai Midi Hi-Fi system (1988) where I figured out that placing the select switch in between Phono and Tape (obviously not designed for that) meant both a tape and a record played at the same time on the midi system. As vinyl back then usually had the same tempo on the A side as well as the B side I was able to make a recording of the vinyls A side using the midi tape deck, play the tape back on the midi system and mix it in with the records B side (with the help of my magic Akai switcher). Yep, you guessed it, scratchin that Akai deck to the death!! After that (1989, year of the funky drummer!) I was lucky enough to be bought a pair of brand new Technics 1210's, with the addition of a 5 channel Soundlad Mixer (Total cost £700). I wish I still had those original decks, but sadly, the decks got broke! Shit happens eh!!

Although I gave up the all nighters many years ago, I still have a passion for music in many respects, e.g., listening, mixing, playing and producing it. Music is a universal language, and like John Lennon said 'Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it".

I've re uploaded some mixes so they can be played on here. All mixes are of excellent mp3 quality and provide the best sound played through a hi-fidelity sound system with the addition of graphical equalizer.

Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy :)
