I grew up around Southampton/Portsmouth on a diet of Madness, hip-hop, metal and dnb. I've been DJing since 2002 and producing since 2010. I've lived in London since 2005. I've played various venues round London, Bristol, Southampton & Portsmouth including Hidden, Rhythm Factory, Basement 45, Timbuk2, Blue Mountain and The Registry and I've held down weekly radio shows on Rude FM and Intense Radio. I love producing music and I value all feedback, good or bad as long as it's constructive. I also collaborate with Esion under the name DX Machina

I co-run the AutomAte family of digital labels, including AutomAte, AutomAte Deep and AutomAte Tech. AutomAte aims to bring you the best in edgy drum & bass, aimed square at the dancefloor, from rising stars to established artists, from chunky steppers to dark rollers and all manner of other infectious grooves. If it deserves a place in the my record bag, it lives here.

The Deep sub-label aims to put the warmth back into drum & bass with a range of deep, eclectic, inspirational music, influenced by anything from the Far East to South America and everything in between. AutomAte Deep was launched in early 2013 and has already picked up support from Raiden, Morphy, The Untouchables, Mental Forces, Ortokore, Philth, Stunna and Marukomu.

The Tech sub-label showcases a variety of gritty drum & bass music, from amen tracks and heavy-steppers to neuro and hardcore styles. We like it grimy with a slight attitude problem and an infectious groove and supporters include Bailey, Raiden, EBK, Gremlinz, Nyx, Amoss, NC-17, Arclight, John Rolodex, Phil Hustle, Cursa, AbleDanger, C-Sonix, Philth, Retraflex, Fearful and more.

We've taken over a drum & bass dnb forum / website and will be slowly breathing new life into it. We intend to move the site towards being more content-based, meaning exclusive mixes, tunes, discounts, give-aways and competitions, as well as being a go-to place for events, radio, podcasts, tunes, advice and banter. Podcasts and the forthcoming record label will provide exciting opportunities for DJs and producers alike. For the promoters amongst you, we'll be looking at ways to increase site traffic and get your info out to more people. Come and join the party at http://www.drumandbassmovement.com
