Born in sunny Manchester (love it & hate it) in 1972. Brother turned me on to a lot of unusual, alternative music whilst I was growing up (Throbbing Gristle etc.) which gave me an appetite for music which 'strayed from the norm'. Did lots of 'raving' whilst growing up in M/CR in the early 90's and, consequently, developed an interest in Detroit house/techno music. Developed love of electronica through Warp Records brilliant 'Artificial Intelligence' series and after a visit to one of their parties at the Ministry of Sound (to see Derrick May and Plaid) was sold for life. Whilst studying in Plymouth, UK I contributed a dance-music page to a local rag which gave me the opportunity to interview some well known dance-artists and (best of all) get lots of free records. During a university exchange trip to Purdue University ,IN I had the opportunity to visit Detroit where I spun at an illegal event called 'Mean Cup of Joe' (I know, s**t name :) down the road from Blake Baxter's record shop. I also managed to visit the old Submerge building and meet some of the UR crew which ,as we in Manchester would say, was 'sweet'. Stupidly sold my entire record collection in order to pay off university debts and didn't listen to any house music for about 2 years. Ditched this bland existence with a year ago and am now rebuilding my record collection with a vengeance. Spend spare time d.j'ing & deleting inane threads about Jeff Mills (shock, horror he's not d.j'ing minimal techno anymore), people refusing to dance at the Motor in D-Town (it's not that difficult you know) and wondering if Derrick May will ever make a new record. Peace-Out. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
