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!!!! |
