Bio

I have twenty-two years hands on experience in the music industry.

Music Production

Starting in 1990 recording for Sheffield label Ozone records under the name of Panic with a release called Voices of energy, which was then licensed to Buzz in Belgium, Buzz 001, Buzz then went on to release classics by Carl Craig and Derrick May. I set up my own label in the same year Solid Groove records with the now defunct Great Asset distribution which moved on to As it is distribution and then to Intergroove UK.

The label had 30 vinyl releases over thirteen years and tracks were licensed by Derrick May, Terry Francis, Pete Tong, Adam X, and  Carl Cox.

I recorded many more vinyl ep’s for labels such as Sublime, The End, Ferox, Mosaic, Reel,  Intec and one Lap for Leftfields label Offshoot.

As well as this I ran another 3 Labels, Textures distributed by Shady Acorns, Dark, distributed by Shady Acorns and Cheap Knob Gags, also distributed by Shady Acorns.

DJ

At the age of twelve I became an avid bedroom DJ which taught me the skills that have taken me through a successful and professional career spanning twenty-two years.

From my first residency at the Portsmouth club Central Park at eighteen, I soon found myself in London spinning next to Carl Cox, Groove Rider, Colin Dale, Mr. C etc, at such raves as, Energy, Raindance, and clubs such as, The Astoria, The Gardening Club, The Pirate Club, The Marquee, Turnmills, Deep Space, Ministry Of Sound, Mr. C’s Release party’s and a residency’s for Fantasy FM and the famous south coast club Sterns.

With the profiles of the labels this took me on to the worldwide stage for the next 20 years playing in top clubs such as.

Ten Days Of Techno (Ghent Belgium)
Moog (Barcelona Spain)
Space (Ibiza Spain)
The Clarence (Dublin Ireland)
Pop Com (Cologne Germany)
Loft (Lausanne Switzerland)
Cocoon (Zurich Switzerland)
Outergaze (Tokyo Japan)
Lov E (Sao Paulo Brasil)
Bunker (Rio De Janerio Brasil)
The Thekla (Bristol Wales)

My music tastes are very varied with my first love of Hip Hop as a teenager moving quickly onto the emerging Acid House scene from Chicago and then to Detroit Techno and then to New York House and due to working in record shops and closely with distributers I have superb knowledge of all three genres.
My other big interest musically is Jazz, Soul, Funk, Fusion I used this as a hobby collecting a superb range of all genres.
