"/> Well i've been around on the scene for long enough now to know better!!! It all started on the dance floor with Hip hop back in 86/87' Big Daddy Kane, Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy the good ole days! Then moving into hip house, Fast Eddie, LA Mix, Ritchie Rich and a whole host of other funny leather clad, bandana wearing artists. Originally from Sheffield, i was soon rubbing shoulders with the guys from WARP records in the early 90's and was soon sucked into buying bundles of records, spending both my college grant & part time job monies at there flagship store. I started playing out at nights such as 'Love to Be' at the Music Factory & 'Rise' at the Leadmill along with countless after parties, warehouse raves and pirate radio slots with the likes of Winston Hazel (Moloko's DJ) & Chris Duckenfield (Swag music). I've been playing in and around London since moving here in 2000 from West end bars & clubs to corporate functions to dirty squat parties. My experience of running bars and putting on club nights is also extensive. FOOLPROOF began as a collective of designers, artists and dance performers and just over 2 years ago i decided to start putting on club nights under the same name and collaborated with other Dj’s & musicians as I believed that it would be more of a success if it came together under the same brand. I work for Prime Direct Distribution as a dance music record distributor i always make sure the most upfront tunes are being played at my nights to educate the crowds, so expect to hear the latest in Deep soulful, funky and electro tech house sounds! Watch this space as this year is the big push for FOOLPROOF and everybody involved in the collective! Plus expect to see links to a new website coming soon!! You can also catch me down at the INC Bar in Greenwich every Thursday night, 10-2, playing a deep soulful & funky set whilst sipping the finest cocktails around! Saturdays, 8-12, you'll catch me at the 'County Arms' in Wandsworth playing soulful vibes to warm up the evening at my nearly a year old night! 'Candlelight Grooves' Drop me a line if you are interested in getting involved in FOOLPROOF whether its being a DJ, musician, artist, designer or you just wanna come down and party with us. I am also always on the look out for new venues to hold FOOLPROOF nights so whether its a railway arch or plush bar drop me a line: foolproofparties@hotmail.co.uk. AL Free Website Counter
