I started DJ'ing back in 1997 at venues across London, notably Bar Vinyl in Camden, SOS, 93 Ft East, Solo & The Project in Soho Square. Influenced by labels such as Paper Records, Seasons, Ovum, Low Pressings & Drop, the club which had the greatest influence over me was Plastic People, then based under Oxford St, where every Friday night Kenny Hawkes (Girls fm & Space) and DJ Harri (Sub Club, Glasgow) would play to a lucky few crammed into a tiny basement in what was London's most consistent and respected deep house night. Occasionally guests such as Derrick Carter, Kevin Yost & Pete Heller would drop in but the key to the success of Fridays R' Firin' was the solid residence. Saturdays were usually spent trawling the records shops of Berwick Street in London's Soho for some of the tracks we'd spotted the night before, shops like Vinyl Junkies & Reckless Records.

The mix here represents the sound I love from then, and now.
