When (where, how, etc.) did you start deejaying: My father was djing and had a partnership in a local nightclub, one of his DJ friends taught me the fundamentals, once i was old enough to respect that the technics weren't a toy, maybe i was 11 or 12, he taught me how to beat-match, blend and phase two copies of a record. i had then practice then a lot playing school parties, birthdays etc, you know playing pop, disco, a bit of house hip-hop etc. WHen i was 16 i got my first paid gig in a club with a friend Lil Mark (Classic/Music For Freaks), then at 18 i had my first residency in a club in Bristol...
Number of records in your collection: about 6/ 7000
Role model: I have so many its hard to list just one person, but i like the people who find there place, and can push and develop their sound, also i like the people who don't take themselves too seriously, those who arent too caught up in the hype, but can keep it current and re-invent themselves, but also draw from the past too...examples would be: Rob Mello, Cajmere, Guillaume Coutu Dumont, Ricardo, Dandy Jack, Dinky, Pier Bucci
Thing(s), which is always with you on the journey: Cigarettes, keys
