i blagged my way into a club at 15 sayin i was the guest dj lol the person on the door told me i was late and to get straight upstairs the dj at the time wanted off and said for me to go on. i had never been this close to decks b4 so i asked for a few mins watched what buttons he was useing and then took over luckily for me i had a top selection of tunes that i had been buying with the £ i had been nicking from work. they even asked me to go back the next week which i did and did so for about 3 months

never did find out who i was supposed to be lol.

My one and only time playing out and its not technically out, it was a house party. My mate asked me to go on the decks cos the only DJ they had there wanted a break!! I was pissed as a fart and cant remember half of what I played, they were someone elses records lol The decks were on top of the fridge so people kept getting in my way to get to the alcohol it was quite dark so I couldnt really see what I was doing and I had some bloke trying to chat me up while I was mixing lol

I cleared half the party as they didnt like the old skool I was playing but the other half loved it and stayed and kept asking me to play more

So it was quite an experience really, I reck I could handle a packed club no problem!! lol

Went on a course in 1998 - they also did things like sequencing, engineering, pianos and guitars. Had a dance night where some budding DJs would strutt their stuff - I was SO nervous playing in front of loads of people I didn't know, so lucky it was only 20 mins. Tracklist was:
GTO - Pure
Gat Decor - Passion
Moby - Go
CJ Bolland - Horsepower.

Somehow, every mix came out perfectly!

My first night DJing was at the Atticus Bar in Manchester (next to the Athenaeum). I was booked to play bog standard charty dance. So, I played old skool instead, hahaha! Didn't really fuck up (as far as I can remember) though I had my first taste of out of touch randoms asking for Britney Spears and stuff like that..... (Whilst the tune playing was DJ Seduction - Hardcore Heaven.) Only cottoned onto the fact it was pretty much a gay bar when I played Shades Of Rhythm - Sound Of Eden and most of the men in their were singing "queen, baby" and pointing at the bloke they were dancing with.....

Still, good learning curve for me, as at that time I didn't have Technics decks at home (only a pair of leathered Soundlabs, yep times were hard back then lol)

Got £70 for it and free beer.
