I started my musical journey as a youngin, listening to hip-hop, classic rock, punk & alternative.I got introduced to "raving" in '96 (20 years old) and dug the bass and breakbeats but then shortly after found the jungle/D&B room and an LTJ Bukem CD (http://www.discogs.com/LTJ-Bukem-Mixmag-Live-Vol-3/master/257127) and I was hooked.Started going to shows and buying mixtapes of DJs, such as R.A.W., CRS?, Deacon, Heretic, Josh Swissman, Etc..At that time I was also really into the turntablist thing, fascinated with the tricks and sounds that could be accomplished using tables.Watching guys like the Skratch Piklz and Beat Junkies blew me away.Bought some tables and started going at it.One of my first vinyl purchases was "Toasted" (http://www.discogs.com/Various-Toasted-Massive-Ragga-Jungle/release/27177) and loved that style, but no one really made/played that sort of stuff so I bought what was available, techy D&B and Jump-Up until about 02 when I found out people were making "the good stuff" again. That led me to countless old-school tunes that I missed out on and started collecting.Ever since, I've been refining my taste in amen fueled jungle.Spinning old-school and new-school, not to mention educating myself on the roots of it all... reggae, blues, hip-hop, funk, jazz, etc.Music's a never-ending journey and nothing puts a bigger smile on my face!!!
