| Worst DJing moment: | Playing at a dodgy club on the Shankill Road in Belfast on my first "proper" peak time set. I turned up with a box full of 150bpm Hard House and the club was full of commercial cheese monkeys getting messy to tunes such as 'Maniac' etc. Just 2 mins into the first track the needles started sliding across the turntables and continued to do so for most of the night. I was told to end my set an hour early and on my way out one of the bouncers got glassed in the face....nice! |
| Would most like to play: | To a crowd who love the proper hard house groove. |
| Most enjoyable set you've played: | Most sets I've played I have enjoyed including my first mainland gig (Bosh @ The Venue) late '04. The best at the mo is definately No Limits 1st Birthday party, what a night that was, the hardcore room was rocking big time.....AWESOME! |
| When you're not DJing you're: | Playing records in my head picking out samples and trying to match the movie it came from lol. I also think about things Homer Simpson says and laugh to myself for hours on end...quite a simple life really lol. I also read and play video games. |
| Favourite DJ: | Superfast Oz |
| Favourite Venue: | The Works in Birmingham is pretty spectecular, the Temple Theatre in Dublin is also cool. |
| Favourite Promotion: | I used to be a big follower of Tidy but now im partial to favour any event that pushes the boundries and keeps things fresh. |
| Favourite Producer: | Amp Attack |
| Favourite Label: | Tinrib |
| Biggest Influence: | The people who have picked me up when I was at my lowest and DJ's like Paul Reeves and Chris Hutchinson. |
| Drink: | Cider. Used to love Magners before the posh twats claimed it. Warm Strongbow it is then. |
| Non-music pastime: | Reading, Gaming, Film, BMX and Mountain Biking. |
| Words of wisdom: | Familararity breeds contempt. |
