Born a Kiwi but raised in the UK, brought up on a sultry diet of John Peel, Hip Hop, Motown, Dancehall, Ska and Soul. Collecting tunes and spinning since the heady housey days of 1988 (remember those?) Wide taste for all things interesting for the discerning dancefloor - from Deep Disco basslines, Afrobeat, Electronica, Future Shoebox, Acid Soul and Deep House.

Every Saturday on BaseFM 107.3 here in Auckland, the Smashey&Nicey show - with CoopaBlu and the AveragewhiteDJ - tracks the slow and at times entertaining demise of a functioning alcoholic and his patient, long-suffering and vastly nicer friend. With a combined 87 years of DJing experience between them, the stories and experiences of the two are impressive to say the least. For instance, it is widely rumoured they were responsible for many, joining the now crowded ranks of the disk jockey. Tune in to hear the musical diary of two, once great men, fighting off the daily advance of senility, incontinence and bad taste.
