A bit about Glenn-A

Based in the West Midlands,U.k Glenn is well known for playing oldskool (rave/house) from 1986-1993.Glenn's a resident dj for the u.k's first all night legal dance event (1989) Raindance(now 17 years old) in London,you can also catch him spinning for Raveology @ superclub Air in Birmingham. But Glenn's roots started way back as early 80's with tracks 'rappers delieght,The message,Step off’. In 1983 electronic legends kraftwerk entered the u.k charts with a track 'Tour de France’. Glenn Recall's this on a local radio station, this was the track that was the birth of electronic music for me with catchy synth and amazing strings section. It wasn’t until 1985 Glenn started experimenting with electro music. But due to being still at secondary school Glenn couldn’t afford 2x1200's and a mixer...Glenn recalls remembering seeing many times a technics 1200 deck in a local electrical store window and thinking 'if i only had the money'... Glenn was surround by music from a very early age,his Dad was a big music fan and also had a small vinyl collection which was a big influence on him,my dad used to listen to big bands from the 1940's to Frank Sinatra, Nat king Cole to Mario Lanza,i was also surrounded by my older sister musical taste of heavy rock music,the likes of led zepplin,Queen and Motorhead and not forgetting disco scene was big then with tracks by 'earth, wind and fire would of been the norm around the late 70's early 80's in our home. Later on Glenn started listening to many of the early electro albums also watching films like:Beat street,Breakdance 1 & 2,Style Warz and wildstyle.Before Glenn got into djing he was involved in the graffiti scene (1985-1990) and was a founder member of 'The Rogue Troopers' (Rgt/Rt) with Chu in 1988.Also in 1988 Glenn met a guy Jem Atkin's who was a very talented scratch dj,Glenn was amazed by the skills this guy had.Glenn spoke to Jem and told him he always wanted to be involved with djing/music from the early 80's.He showed Glenn the ropes and gave Glenn alot of support over the next year.Glenn left the graffiti scene back in 1989 when he was working on legal work will other artists as:Goldie,Desire,Tuma,Size,Zukie and Zed just to name a few to purse his love of music.
