He is currently producing bootlegs and trying to create a new genre fusing together gabba, metal and drum and bass with varying results, he is also popping up in locations around Gloucestershire. He began listening to electronic music from an early age, with early favourites being Jean Michel Jarre & Kraftwerk, by the time he had begun secondary school he had started listening to more mainstream music but still preferred the unorganic sounds of synths over strings. In 1991 he discovered the Rave Scene and began collecting flyers and buying/copying mixtapes, with his favourite DJs being Mickey Finn, Top Buzz, Tango & Ratty. It was'nt until 4 years later he got his first set of decks and began mixing. At the age of 16 he was hosting his own parties, running the local pirate radio station and attempting to make happy hardcore and gabba, although some of the tracks were rather basic they still followed the 1992 diy ethos that he maintains to this day. Even though he is no longer active on the Happy Hardcore/Gabba scene, his DNB is still laced with old skool rave influences and he will be Hardcore til he dies. Roll forward to 2010 and he still DJs and Produces, mostly for his own benefit although he still plays the free party scene, he also compiles the highly succesful Strictly Drum & Bass Playlists on Spotify.
