London Suburbs, United Kingdom

I first started playing out on vinyl in the late 80s at squat parties in Southeast London with a group of friends, some of whom, in time, became known as the Techno Travellers.

When squatting houses became near impossible, a group of them purchased coaches and become new age travellers. Settling at various sites around the London green belt, they held small gatherings, which quickly grew into what we know today as the M25 free field raves.

As a DJ with those Techno Travellers, I witnessed the scene boom into massive raves, the likes of Castle Morton and Arundel. I also witnessed their demise as the authorities suppressed the movements of these travellers. What was once playing for tens of thousands at raves, turned back to small house parties. Eventually, I sold my equipment and stopped mixing all together.

I always regretted that decision so in 2024 I acquire some new equipment and I'm back, experimenting with old-school Hardcore and subgenres of Rave Music.
