After playing at such influential and original underground clubs as Clink St. & Heaven in London and Manchester s Hacienda, he went one to headline the legendary UK pay parties’ Sunrise.

Since the mid 80 s he has been included in virtually every book, documentary and film on the dance culture and sought after all over the world for his flawless mix of deep bass driven techno with soulful & tough tribal house, a format he has always maintained, and has led him to be widely regarded as the pioneer of what is now known as ’tech-house’.
