It all started for me at 13 years old as a school boy, when I became fascinated with Electronic Music. I was a big Depeche Mode, Yazzo and Tears for Fears fan, so I liked modern bands using technology. I used to go to Trax Records in Greek Street with my best pal, and we’d spend the day in Soho Record shops, and listen to the Dance music they played. One of the first tracks I bought was the beautiful balearic classic, ‘Song for Denise’ by Piano Fantasia in 86′ when I was just 13 years old. From then I was hooked and passionately in love with this new electronic sound with a repetitive beat.

I’d scraped money working in the school holidays to buy my 1210’s and a vinyl addiction and passion for dance music continued.

I got my first DJ residency in 93′ at Labrynth, which was all down to my new friend at the time Vinyl Matt (a resident at the club). It was filled to capacity every Friday and Saturday at the infamous Four Aces club in Dalston Lane (originally a Reggae venue) and was ran by the enigmatic Joe Wieczorek & lovely Sue. A rave club at heart, however having house music secondary rooms where I played my first house and progressive house sets.

After finishing at Labrynth, and missing DJ’ing to a crowd badly, I started putting on my own parties in 95′. These were small local nights, hiring restaurants and bars and filling them up with friends and their friends. some of my friends played at various London nights such as Release the Pressure and Just Can’t Get Enough at The Gardening Club . I also managed to have CJ Mackintosh play for me as he was a lifetime friend of a friend of mine at the time.
