Worst DJing moment:Switching the playing deck off at a gig in Stoke, back in 96! Everybody clapped thinkin it was part of the tune, I just switched it back on-Red faced!

Two years ago on Boxing day, playing at a underground party in Stoke, a lad walked behind me whilst i was mixing and tripped over the mains lead to the decks, everything went off and the lighting gear went out...I had to laugh about it...and it was all caught on camera.....pretty ambarrasing stuff!
Would most like to play:Sankey's Soap in Manchester or at any Goodgreef party's!
Also Nottingham's best Hard dance club night Pure Addiction@The Venue or The Edge - Great bunch of lads!
Most enjoyable set you've played:Got to be at this underground party on New Years Eve 03, we hired a room in Stoke and it had a capacity of about 400 maybe and we absolutley rammed the place, £4 on the door. I had to drop the chimes in at 12 and the noise was unbelievable to say the least, a truly memorable night.And we created this night out of nothing!

A recent set @ Fixation in a back room which was hosted by Pure Addiction, made some great friends and the music was out of this world. Couldn't pick a fault with anything, a superb night! The only problem i had was leaving the club, i just didn't want to go home!!!!!

Warming up for Amber D@Bpm recently....the tunage i played had um all dancing, got them going for Amber D....and the roar...when my name was announced!! Respect to you all!!!!
When you're not DJing you're:Promoting British Pounding Music, I do this all the time now! Or visiting promoters at different venues, and catching up with my mates!
Favourite DJ:Tony de Vit R.I.P

A truly awesome dj! And sadley missed by us all.....
Favourite Venue:The Old Accadamy in Stoke when Sin City had it, changed to the Void now and they destroyed the underground feel to his place.
Favourite Promotion:lashed
Favourite Producer:Ben Kaye,Kam Pain, Ingo ,Alex Calver, TDV & Simon Parkes
Favourite Label:TDV
Passion
Any unkown Bootlegs
Biggest Influence:TDV for showing the way! + Barry Almond of Goodgreef, a totally awesome promoter!
Drink:I have the occasional beer! Don't really drink.
Non-music pastime:School.........
Words of wisdom:If a first you don't suceed then alway's try again!(You do this and you won't go far wrong)

Also one for you high profile dj's that turn up to play @ small parties...and can't be bothered, Remember People have paid for you to perform....whether its to 50 or 500.. it hurts when i see this!

Also don't let promoters down! First impressions last with regards to me!!! So remember!
Other Comments:Keep an eye out for British Pounding Music, something fresh for Stoke on Trent, at last!!!!!

Funky House, what's that all about..
