Back in 1991 when acid was still a strong sound in the raving scene, Simon was still listening to Top of The Pops and didn't have a clue about 'underground' music.
After meeting a few people who were into raving (David, Andrew ;-)), he started listening to hardcore and acid house.
DJing
Simon soon decided that he wanted to control the tunes popular at the time, so with some mentoring and training from DJ G-Funk, he set about learning how to mix. It wasn't as easy as it seemed and took a few years to get on form. Even then there were a few mistakes!
Music production
Creating music is another ball game entirely, but DJ Bubbsta was keen to make a tune. With the help of NICO at NO-U-Turn records in London, DJ Bubbsta produced a dark tune back in 1995 that he believes 'inspired' the breaks on some memorable drum n bass tunes on future tracks from artists such as Ed Rush et al.
