from DJ BPM's website (dj-bpm.co.uk):

I fell in love with the underground dance scene at a Spiral Tribe party in the Carnegie Library Deptford… it was the closest thing I've ever had to a divine experience…. And a life changing experience for me.

The whole modern dance scene revolution in the late 80's and 90's was mind blowing, it was a really exciting time. New forms of dance music were constantly evolving Hardcore, Techno, Acid house, Jungle, Happy Hardcore, Hardcore Acid, Drum and Bass, Gabba, to name but a few...

Sadly The Criminal Justice Bill was introduced... it had a huge impact on the underground party scene... it felt like an end of an era... but the music has kept on evolving.

Although I have found so many genres of dance music inspirational, it was around the time when Pulp Fiction was released that I really got into Drum and Bass...

The first place I started DJing out was in Goldsmiths Tavern (GMT), where my mate Bevin (Amorphous) with help from Simple and Smutley, ran a Drum and Bass night on Thursdays. It was an era I'll never forget, the GMT was a rich subculture of its own, the people who frequented it were those who had been rejected by society and those who had rejected it... It was almost Bohemian in its assortment of weirdo's, artists, punks, students, musicians, anarchists and junkies.

Bev had a flare for finding DJ's with a diversity of styles, every time you went you had a different experience. As far as I know after the first six months Bev didn't ever have to bother advertising Amorphous, the club had its own core followers and people who strayed in there by chance and came back for more. Some of the hightlights from my nights there were sets from Switch, and other resident DJ's such as Richie Razor, Smutley and Simple. Sadly the GMT was a victim of social cleansing and is now just another of the characterless winebars that are sprouting up all over London.

Later I became part of the Amorphous crew (with Bev, Smutley and Nik the Deks) promoting our own parties. I also started playing out with other underground soundsystems such as (Ministry of) Unsound, Troopers, First Friday, Cross Connection, Rhythmic Resurrection and Hyper FM pirate radio and now with Battlestations Internet Radio and Wirelessfm.

And I have also been Djing internationally, Russia, Holland, Italy, Bosnia and most recently the USA with the Irrational Crew & New Detroit Radio (Love and Respect to all the wonderful people I met out there!)

My sets tend to go down well with women and I think that's because I play what I'd love to dance to… whereas I think quite a few male DJ's have forgotten what its like to get on the dance floor and boogie...

In the last couple of years I got into mixing Breakbeats as well as D&B- I'm really impressed with the quality of tunes coming out Finger Lickin being one of my favourite breakbeat labels at the minute.

I've also been making my own tunes for years… first serious attempts were for Fine Art Installations and Performances. Then I formed Drum and Bass(ish) band Sample Terrorist - playing Samples and Keyboards… best ever gig - was on the beach at a Megadog Festival in Cornwall, just before Dave the Drummer's set! Unfortunately we disbanded in 1999.

I did a years course in Music Production, Lewisham College in 2002- really enjoyed it, one of the best courses I've ever been on (Big Up all the staff team Rob, Tony, Geoff and George and my class mates, Debbie, Jim, Serkan, Katie and all!)

Still making tracks @ home including a soundtrack for a video (with Seed) and playing out dub plates that I've made with DJ Billy the Kid.

That's about it… just like to make a few Thank You's to all the people who have supported me!
