I started out listening to electronic music back in Leeds in the early 80s, mainly listening to electro music on battered old copies of StreetSounds cassettes whilst trying desperately to spin on my head! I moved on from there to all things Old Skool, missed DnB as I went traveling in Spain during the formative years and it didn't happen over there, dabbled with a bit of Garage, and then House became my thing! When I returned to the UK in the late 90s, I landed in the beautiful town of Bedford and have been here ever since. My main musical passion is all things House but over the last couple of years have been revisiting DnB and Jungle due to the massive influence of so many local DnB heroes flying the flag in B-Town and I now love to play that too!
