Message for the Ravers: Have faith in the scene when it looks like its on its arse,something or sumone will always pull it out the shi

Advice\Tips for the Up & Coming: Play what you want if you love a tune your probably not going to be the only one,dont only play tunes that are popular in the scene at the minute because youll never stand out, dont kiss arse promoters are always looking for new djs/mcs if your good enough youll get sets. . also give other styles of music a chance it might
take you a while to appreciate them

How did you become a DJ: Goin to partys where they was dex,when everybody had passed out mashed i used to stay up & piss about with the dex & tunes.got my own dex for 17th birthday,my first set was in energize room 2 in 2002 then i sent a demo in for New Monkey done about 12 sets there n regular sets at the powerhouse then became energize resident in 2004/2005 been dj-ing all over ever since

What influences have you had: Learnt a lot of stuff from dj direct when i was first starting out,also dj looney n dj tatty who i bought 100s of tunes off (sum of the older buzz crew will know these two), also used to love watching paul glazby (hardhouse dj) mixing is the tightest ive eva seen at an event top quality

Whats your future plans: 2010 deffo send sum hard dance/hardstyle demos about to try and break into other scenes, make a few more tunes with illusion & hopefully finish off tunes ive started with mitchie masha (energize boss)
carry on gettin mashed having fun and going to as many big events as well local events as possible. . deffo want to go to defcon 1 or some hardstyle event abroad (amazing)

Shout to Ultimatebuzz.net: looking forward to what forcers got planned, hope its as good crack as what it was a few years back
