it all started back in 1995,me and a few mates went to an under 18's rave called evolution in milton keynes,all my fave djs were playing like,brisk,dougle,vibes,i thought these guys were the bees nees,i remember standin next to the dj stand while brisk was playing,i was amazed at what he was doing,and how much the crowd were loving it,straight away after that i new i had to be a dj,so that xmas my dad got me some decks and all i did was practice and practice every night,even slammed school so i could go on my decks more.
after about a year i was mixing at verious mates partys playing happy hardcore,which was the main music round my area with people my age.by 17 i was going to clubs in town and got more into the house scene,and started buying house n trance.then came along bassline,i remember the first time i heard a bassline tune or speed garage as it was called back then,i fell in love straight away with it,and started buying it.
just before my 18th my mate had been talkin to a guy who was startin a new night,and was looking for djs,so i went down and had a trial,they set me on straight away cos knowone was playing speedgarage in bradford so its was something new and fresh,from then on i became resident at tfu's for 3 years,it got known for being the first full speedgarage club in bradford.
after i would finish playing at tfu's i would always go up to the boilerhouse nightclub,which was an after house club in bradford,the music wasnt quite the same as what i played,it was more trance on a saturday night and funky and ukg on a fri,so i alaways wished i could play there and play my speedgarage to there crowd.
in 2001 tfus closed down and i got a call from the owner of the boilerhouse askin if i fancied playing up there,i couldnt believe my luck.i started doing the warm up every fri,it didnt get busy till normall 1.30 so i new only way i would get people in early so i had a crowd to play to would be to play something diff from what the club usually played,so i started playing speedgarage every set and after a year people were queing at the door before opening time,i was so chuffed with my self,and was given one of the main slots on sat nights after that.i remember dean or phat fingerz as alot of people know him,tellin me that it was a house n trance night on a sat,so had to play bits of house n trance,but slowly started to drop the odd bassline here in there in my sets,and after a while i was playing full on bassline and it took off big time in bradford,even dean started playing it lol.
i played for a good 4 years there,which made me the dj i am today,it changed me from a warm up dj to a headline dj.
in 2005 the boilerhouse was closed down,i was gutted,it was like my second home,and was legendary in the bassline scene as a club.i played loads of diff clubs after that,bassfactory @ peningtons,warhouse leeds,red square in bradford and many more.2006 lingards opened and after a while i became resident there.which is where i still am now.since 2006 iv played at diff clubs in england aswell as playing in ibiza 2 years in a row,malaga twice and magaluf once.
i also started producing my own tracks in 2006 and have had 5 vinyle releases to date.
