DJ Biography / overview / Bit about yourself and how you got into Djing and where you have played:
Began DJing in late 80’s. Was into industrial and early techno/new beat/club music/acid house etc. played few hours parties and warehouse parties until mid 90’s. Never wanted to be full time circuit/club DJ, I couldn’t play music I didn’t like no matter what they wanna pay me. I’d rather stay true to what I feel and try to express myself through what I play. I’d say I have a wide scope of electronic music and enjoy mixing it all together. Most memorable club was rupture.
