Caution first got into hardcore / drum and bass after being heavily exposed to it by his older friends that he hung around with at that point in his life. As time went by he found himself getting more and more into it and frequently made trips from his home to Fibre Optic Records in Leamington Spa to purchase the latest tape packs etc. After many months of saving he picked up his first decks in 1996 at the age of 15 and has continued to mix the sounds of drum and bass ever since. After a few years playing at small local parties Caution decided to start taking things a bit more seriously and started to send a few demo tapes out to local promoters.

By doing this he made a contact in the form of DJ Reaction who was involved in a night called Raising The Deep in Banbury who then invited him to play at a DJ competition that he was hosting where the prize was a full residency at Raising The Deep. This event took place in Nov 2000. Caution managed to win this competition and secured the residency at RTD over 20 other local drum and bass DJ’s. He now had some sort of foundation to build on as a club DJ. After securing this residency he found it easier to make other promoters take him seriously, and from this received many regular and one off plays in 2001 at then established Midlands drum and bass nights such as Trauma (Leamington Spa), Prosession (Birmingham), Cohesion (Birmingham), Get It On (Leamington Spa), Blazzin (Coventry) as well as various other nights around Coventry and Leamington Spa.

2002 was an even better year for Caution as he received plays at nights such as Sonic Boom (Leicester), Monu-Mental (Hereford), Re-Energize (Bournemouth), Twisted (Wolverhampton), Sub Culture (B'ham), House Of God (B'ham), Tunnel Vision (Banbury) Cohesion and Trauma along with two return plays at Birmingham’s ever popular Prosession night. Raising The Deep had since disbanded and evolved into a new night called Terra-Technique so Caution continued to feature as a resident there playing for them at different clubs in Leamington Spa + Banbury.

Since that year Caution found himself somewhat in demand and has since picked up regular and one off plays in and around the Midlands for Club Formation, Sonic Boom, Genetic (Leicester), In:Motion, Terra:Technique (Banbury), Autumn / Metalheadz, Atomic Jam, Broken Minds, Noizworkz, Prosession, Underground City, House Of God (Birmingham), Flava Unit (Kettering), Stimulus, Trauma, Get It On (Leamington Spa), Source, Kinetic, HQ, Solution, DrumBabyDrum (Oxford), Ascension (Rugby), Deckology (Stourbridge), Electric Kingdom (Walsall), Urban Troopers, Safe and Sound (Coventry) to name but a few. Out of the Midlands he has since graced the turntables at various drum and bass events including Dirt Sounds (Stroud), Monu-Mental (Hereford), Bassix (Cheltenham) and Pulsar (Kings Lynn) as well as featuring on radio platforms such as BBC 1xtra (Sappo’s The M1X Show 07/11/2005), koollive.com and breakpirates.com. He has also previously worked submitting interviews and related content to the Accelerated Culture Awards nominated best website dnbforum.com and featured in March 2004’s Knowledge Magazine article on the Oxford drum and bass scene.

Caution can be heard regularly on rotation at his residencies at Stimulus (Leamington Spa), Kinetic (Oxford), Dope Ammo (Banbury), Underground City (Birmingham), Bar Baby (Oxford) and Adrenaline Rush (Banbury).
