DJ Sima

DJ Sima has been successfully DJ'ing now since he was about 14 years old. Playing various types of music, dance, speed garage, r'n'b, uk garage and d'n'b.

I started DJing when I was about 14, just getting into the sort of club vibe and partying, drinkin and all that sort of stuff. I went to this one party that was my mate's brother's and he had charged ppl to get in, but they had this dj there, who was playing all the old & new garage tunes, which is when I thought I wanna get sum decks. As you know there well expensive, but I found some bargin ones so I got them. I started off, just buying commercial dance and garage. But there gets a point where you realise you need some of dem tunes ppl cant get on cd's or havent already herd on the radio. So I started looking for some proper dj shops instead of the HMV store. That's when I started to get alot better, having tunes that other dj's wanted but didnt no what they are! I started to go into drum n bass as well as garage and dance. So from practicing in my own home, I went onto do some mixing at one or two parties, alongside the main dj. After a while though the booze just gets too much and you fink fuck it, i cant b arsed! But neways, I've helped dj for a little at some parties and then just DJing whenever I could. O ye, if your finkin of bein a dj but r doin well in skool, wait til u finish skool, bcus it'll happen to you like it did to me, u fuk up and end up with sum C's, D's, E's and an F. I tell ya now though, DJing kills skool for a joke, so if u wana fuk up come and join me! I left skool jus b4 i was 16, finishin my gcse's and basically goin out everyday chillin in da summer up solihull, still managing to fit in the odd dj session or two. I turned 16 in july 2003 and had a small piss up with some of my mates and my girlfriend round at my house. It was a class night, had my system on the go and the booze flying all over the place, big up that night! I'm tellin ya, dont do nefin wen u leave skool for about a year, cus it'll b the best time of ya life, cus i missed out on it all starting an apprentiship in carpentry to become a pro builder! Keeping the DJing on the go, I was gettin in from work and havin a quick blast on da decks and then chillin. I also produced a mix tape of all the latest speed garage tunes in april 2004, it was quite good, many people got there hands on a copy of the tape and there are still some around now. Impressive 27 tunes remixed in a one hour set. I did a couple of sets for a fly-by internet radio station that was up and running for just over 2 months called Scouse Tunez Radio in spring 2004. As this closed down, I decided it upon myself that I would do what I had been planning to do for a long time, and that was try and set-up my internet radio station, I got it online in June 2004, and I managed to get 10 DJ's lined up for a weekly schedule, including myself of course. Unfortunatley though, die to the lack of dosh I had to close it after a month. Maybe Future Radio will make a come back sometime soon! I have plans to go on other net radio stations to carry on blasting out them tunes to ppl! To be continued...

I have played live on many internet radio stations and love the feeling you get knowing people all over the world can hear you! I have also played some small private parties too.

When I look around at what dance music comes through the charts they influence the way I mix, as I only spin what I think sounds good or I know will get the crowd dancing to.

I'm currently replacing my home studio, so I'll let you know once it's complete.
