I bought my first set of decks aged 13. An all-in-one DJ console made by a company called Citronic. They were pearlescent purple and, though a good few years old at the time, I thought they were the most beautiful things on the planet.

That was when I started DJing, Acid House music had just arrived, House and Dance tracks dominated the UK charts, and I was hooked forever. Years later I discovered Tech House music, in North London's Manor House Warehouse district; an amazing place full of DJ's, producers and musicians, and parties that went on from Friday night till Monday morning. Playing those warehouses every weekend was the biggest buzz a DJ could wish for and the dark, soulful, driving beats and oozing bass lines of Tech House and Melodic Techno have held me ever since. I Love it. I hope you do too.
