Biog:
I was lucky enough to buy my first set of technics along with nearly 1000 tunes off a mate. Luckily he had quite good taste, and quite a diverse collection, which suited me perfectly. Since then I've added probably 500 or so of my own personal favourites, accross a few different styles... and got rid of the stuff that i really didnt like in order to fund more beasties Nowadays i can safely say that pretty much every tune i play i really like

I grew up listening to Stu Allan on a sunday night, collecting Nipper Tapes, and when i was old enough bouncing round Maximes in wigan.
The usual stuff for Manc youths i dont doubt Not before me (and a few others) had overcome a brief affair with HappyHardcore lol

I love Italian House, Mostly pre 92 stuff but there are a few (and growing) tunes from the later period ive begun to enjoy... Defo not Synff / Zone tho!!! I love early US house, and lots stuff from the hacienda era.. My main influence in this area was undoubtedly hazydayz, as they "broke" many tunes that i'd never heard before, that now take pride of place in my collection I try to play different styles regularly but these two are my favourites and luckily old house music covers quite a broad spectrum of genres I have a fair bit of 90s house from the UK and a smallish(but beastly collection of oldskool hardcore, and the majority of the "anthemz" which i like to bust out every now and again.

I was fortunate enough to get a slot on Pirate Revival a few months after gettin my decks and it was a great way of learning about DJing to others.. Without having that experience behind me i probably would have been bricking it at the thought of playing out lol
In November 2005 I won a slot at Timeless in their competition on here, and that was my first taste of playing to the public
Ive been lucky enough since to play fairly frequently since then, and will always be appreciative to the people who gave me the chance
Ive been playing on OSA Radio since it opened over a year ago
