I had my first taste of DJ ing in Ibiza's west end in 1988, Yes the summer of love, the year Oakenfold,Rampling & Holloway brought back the balearic sound to our shores. I was instantly Hooked, but it was 4 years before I got my hands on my first 1210's in 1992. Heavily influenced by local rave nights(If were still allowed to call them that) I started buying 12" tunes from Groover, Eastern Bloc and Hott Waxx like they were going out of fashion. It was 3 years of mix tapes for my mates before I got my first big break. I had played at a few local nights up till Feb 1995 when I won Muzik Magazines Bedroom bedlam mix tape of the month. The rest is (As they say) history, I went on to play Gatecrasher, Progress, The Ministry of sound, Steem, Kool Waters, Karanga, Sundissential, Eden to name just a few. Then in 1997 I was awarded "Bedroom bedlam DJ of the year" live on radio 1 by Judge Jules, I was signed up by 2 DJ Agencies and started playing all over europe as well as more high profile UK Gigs.
