Welcome

Thanks for taking the time to visit my website.

 I have been a professional dj on the dance scene since 1988, playing at hundreds of venues and events across the U.K.



I started djing around 1985 when electro first was heard on the shores of the UK and after having a go at breakdancin and graffiti which I was not very good at I decided to look into the music I was dancing too , standing across the local shopping center were we used to break was a lad with a gettoblaster dressed in a brightly colored tracksuit and green glasses (hence the nickname greenbins) , I asked him what some of the tracks he was playing was and who had put the tape together he told me the tracks then added he had done the tape .

After a few weeks he invited me round to his house where in the corner of the room was two turntables and a mixer , over the next few hours i was there he showed me how he had mixed the tape and with our great love of music are friendship was formed I was hooked and had to get my own set up !

lucky for me I was able to utilize my other talent of being a musician who had started playing keyboards from the age of 7 and with nights i was playing in hotels managed to get the technics and mixer I had dreamed of , over the next few months me and green bins traveled to buy records from Manchester where we discovered the famous hacienda

We discovered that this club was playing the best tracks of hip hop and a new sound that was starting to breakthrough that had a feel of electro but was known as house / acid, so one chilly Wednesday night we hit the train to Manchester to change our life for ever.

 After a few months of going to Manchester to the club and to get them famous records, I had started to get the mixing thing together and decided to start putting tapes out.

The sound was growing with great speed and soon it was not just for the city , people who had travelled to the hacienda wanted it and wanted it on there own doorstep.

 My first club appearance came at the Village on a Monday night which was later to be known as acid night this was Blackpool’s first taste of the new sound in a few weeks the club was full and had a large crowd cueing outside.
