I used to di in the early 90s, evervthing from Acid darkside hardcore, breakbeat, Gabber and Jungle Techno. My nights out were spent in Stoke, Manchester, Liverpool and London (Big well knowr clubs to underground iungle raves)
im just recently getting back into to it, having invested in some cdis and 1210s .. All my kit is good quality gear, but old school. There is no Sync buttons anywhere or magic Internet storage, I only use CDs and Vinyl, therefore every mix is live, and the more i do it, the better i get :)
I do record most of my mixes, mostly to hear back what I played to find out what works and what doesn't.

I do have some irons in the fire too.. Looking like a weekly spot on Green Apple Pirate Radio, some festivals and maybe even some club nights in the Czech Republic.
