An old PC (sometimes Laptop) and "Let's Mix" Mixing and Editor, a pair of mini-speakers/headphones and lots and lots of patience (for trial and error of selecting compatible songs)...That's all :-P

I started the clubs scene during the 1980s and I was influenced by soul- disco, the freewheeling Jaz funk scene, emerging house, hip-hop styles and Latin . I went to my very first Southport weekender in the early 90's and then I became hooked with the house scene and I bought my first decks and started to play sets in the underground clubs and parties. I was a Part of largest pirate radio station in yorkshire sharing my passion for Funk soul- US Garage & soulful house. Thats history and this is now... I have been off the scene for a while now as family is my priorty but I do the odd gigs playing private parties and guest djing for friends.Peace & love to all the lovers who have soul in their hearts!! dj-andy-bee Deep n Soulful House Podcast http://minicasts.podomatic.com/play/977856/4016971
