I am from BIRMINGHAM and ever since i can remember i have LOVED music!!
ALL kinds of music, from ELVIS to EVOL INTENT, from PRINCE to NU-NRG, from NIRVANA to MASSIVE ATTACK!!
To list everybody i admire and who influences me would take WAY too much space!!
One of my constant love affairs has been with DRUM&BASS, from school days listening to old tape cassette copies from raves such as NEMESIS, QUEST, FANTAZIA, etc etc DJ'S like PILGRIM, KENNY KEN, SS, MICKEY FINN..to finding out just HOW diverse the scene is if you look a little deeper!!
I will confess i dont really follow the more jump up/wobble sound, it is the most accesible sound but one that i feel is limited in musical aspects!
Discovering artists such as JOHN B, GOLDIE, UNKNOWN ERROR, EVOL INTENT, THE BLACK SUN EMPIRE, THE PANACEA, LIMEWAX etc etc showed me a whole new form of dance music that has had its claws in me ever since!!
DJ'ing is obviously a passion of mine, but i will be the first to admit that i offer nothing different to the many thousands of people who do the same thing...i can mix records together! the REAL challenge is to get people to feel what YOU write...and this is something, one day, i hope to achieve!
Promoting is something i have and stilldo, dabble in. I co-run a night called TRIA MERA with my close friend Saul (DJ Freenote) and have a hand in such nights as MASTERS OF THE PAST, THERAPY SESSIONS (the Birmingham chapters) alongside DJ X, URBAN DISTURBANCE & BROKEN MINDS, and most recently FANTAZIA @ the Q Club on NYE!!
Ultimately though, my goal, however long it takes me, is to build TRIA MERA up...which, sadly, means taking it away from Birmingham, as commercially, the scene doesn't exist here.
For now though, i'm just struggling on, smiling as i go! Well, for the most part anyway!! : D
