Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
No history apart from making tunes I know certain people will appreciate.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've been playing in clubs for over a year now and love it. The crowds energy really keeps me going. Last gig I played was in Glasgow at a night called Pangea. Good vibe, the punters really liked the get up & dance feel of the mix!
Your musical influences
Drum and Bass though the ages, Plus a stong like to Hiphop, Old Skool, and the UK scene, respect to all the new tallent out there.
What equipment do you use?
1200 Series, CDJ Series... That's prefered, but any set of decks & mixer really. I tend to use CD decks more so now due to ease of access to my music collection and easy of use.
Anything else?
That's it. Just keep grrovin' jivin' and all the above. Love thy music, love thy art, and most of all, love thy decks. And they'll love ya back.
