Favourite Choon: Too many to name from a number of genres

Message for the Ravers: Keep your trousers pressed, and your powder dry!

Advice\Tips for the Up & Coming: Practice and record your sets, listen to them and see what mistakes you have made, go to as many events as you can.

How did you become a DJ: Used to buy rave tapes every week from the quay in 97, collected records for about 6 month to mess about with at my mates house, then got a set of dex in 2000 after getting interested through Browny, Hoggy and Boyleys bedroom sets. Started taking it more seriously in 2001 and got a set of technics and then started getting on at clubs in 2003.

What influences have you had: Big thanks to Scott & Chrissy Mac for all of the sets. Daz effect, Jay and Keith for the not so many sets haha. Listening to Extreme, Carter, Quest, Direct and Browny sets and getting advice of them, all sound blokes.

Whats your future plans: Not much, packed it in now apart from the odd one or two events now and again.

Shout to Ultimatebuzz.net: RIP Daz Effect, all hail the new king.
