A founding member of the BWPT sound system back in 1993, I DJ'd at various clubs and raves throughout the UK playing house and techno. I taught DJing to women of ethnic minorities in Manchester. I later created Yakima Records in 2000 to showcase the great works of Laszlo Beckett, Spandex (Matt Southall), and Cesar Goncalves (popyourfunk.com). Yakima was in the top ten playlists of world famous DJs such as Derrick Carter, Carl Craig, and Francois K. I then worked for Ben Sims' (djbensims.com) many record labels in London. I was tired of playing just one arena of dance music and started building my other repertoires. I moved to Atlanta in 2002 and for 10 years I have been building my collection of jazz, funk, soul, reggae, hip hop and house and selling my mixes around the US and UK.
I play vinyl on two turntables; the old fashioned way. Why? Because it sounds WAY better, and it's always more fun for the crowd to see what you're doing, and get into it.
