In the beginning…
My journey officially started in 1996 when I bought my first set of 1210s. Learning to beat match, playing house and techno, still listening to my hero's Carl Cox and Dave Clarke on cassette. When my vinyl collection became a little heavier, I started to perfect my own style, playing house parties around Leeds.
My preference of music genre has matured with age, playing funk, jazz, hiphop, breaks, house, disco, deep house and mellow vibes.

A massive thanks to Justin Rushmore
On 22nd June I was more than happy to step up to the decks and provide two hours of great music for the legendary Justin Rushmore (Finger Lickin’ Records) for his Positive Vibrations show on 1BTN (1btn.fm) - a Brighton-based radio station.
In the late 90’s, Justin set up and ran the award winning record shop Viny Addiction, located below the infamous Bar Vinyl in Camden. From there he also ran the award winning record label, Finger Lickin’ Records. As an international DJ he has performed to over a million fans worldwide.
