Well?

Ive DJ'd for years now, used to own a Pirate station in Swindon called Impact106fm back in 2004 which we kept going for about 6 months. We broadcasted all over Swindon, playing DNB, UKG, Dance and also had MC nights, guest visitors etc. Was awesome fun, and i'd do it again if i was to go back in time.

My claim to fame is that we did the warm ups for Shy FX and a few other DNB people at some events. We used to play in Swindon, Bristol, London and other random places. Was great fun.

Heres a quick link:

^ We went back to back with another radio station in Swindon. Was ace Smile


Now things have changed, everyone has grown up a bit and we've all got more to lose! So no more radio station but i do try and DJ when i can.

I mainly play UKG, none of this new grime bollocks, i play vocal 2-step, happy 4x4 stuff, from like '97 to '01 when garage was good!



Heres a quick picture of my decks:

Just setting up..

If your having trouble sourcing equiptment let me know Cool



We just got fed up with people saying "yea we should have a pirate station blah blah blah"

All people would do is just talk about it, so we thought fuck it, and bought all the stuff, was the best decision of my life, was great fun, met so many people and have since made so many connections and what a story to tell my grandkids!

Used to be a bedroom DJ, and played a few parties a couple of years ago.

Started on the DNB (during weed days), then moved onto proggy house (afer discovering pills!), then more recently electro house (now that I do neither!).

Sold my decks a while back, no time to play now. Bit of a shame but life goes on. Never thought I had enough talent to do it well really. Tunee selection is the key, and I just couldn't get that right.

Hey ho.

Yes...I do two radio shows - one on UnknownFM - Monday nights 10-midnight and one on Saturday nights 8-10pm Jazz Syndicate radio ....I also do bars, clubs and exclusive private parties. Played a few nights in a big club in Greece over the Summer which was great fun!

I play 70's Disco, Soul & Funk (the original dance music), and avoid the cheese wherever possible! Wink

The official release:

And somewhere in my collection i have the Gladiator/Alias remix (QUALITY remix) which is probably my favourite out of the versions.



Yea mate all my garage is pretty much oldskool, literally half my collection (about 4k's worth) are white labels.

Im 22 aswell by the way, i'll be 23 this december.


cqueen, well you get a nice fat fine, and EVERYTHING confiscated, which to me i couldnt cope with. They take your decks, the wires connecting the decks, your mobile phone, anything they could connect to the radio station. Things like the drinks you have in the room, your favourite pen, EVERYTHING. Ive now got far too much to lose to do it again.

As for getting a license, with my type of music (not pop) you'd be hard pressed to even get a tempory license, and when you do all your equipment needs to be certified. If you wanna broadcast like the rest of them, you pay hundreds of thousands in licensing fees.

Our equipment was good, but if you lived within 100 meters of the studio, you'd also get us showing up on channel 5!

Ahh thats my type of Garage mate. Vocal, 2-step stuff, clean cut Sunship style garage, Cheque 1-2 is another tune i like.

Also got some mega rare ones, like the Remix of Ready or Not, not the mega popular silly DNB version, the Garage version. Trying to remember who produced it.

Ace, well if your into the Darker side of things.

I worked alongside Morph and DJ Narrows (dont know if you know them) producing tracks, Morph lives in Swindon now and Narrows in Reading. I produced one track myself, which went out all across the country, we had 500 pressed.

Also know Lady Libra, again dunno if you heard of her, shes that sort of Vocal type of Garage, not great but shes ok, and she at one point was going to guest star on my station.

Got MC Kie on msn too if that helps? Very Happy
