I took over from Mark at the beginning of 2024 to use my experience in my career and as a DJ to rebuild this iconic brand.I'm a DJ, podcaster and radio veteran, with a background in technology publishing. My speciality is early to mid 90s house and harder beats, I also play upfront house and techno. I'm a DJ tutor and also teach DJing in schools as well as running DJWORX.I've presented shows on commercial, pirate and DAB radio since 1991 and am currently on the Uk's largest independent dance music station, and original London acid house pirate Centreforce 883. Tune in - Weds from 5-7am GMT via centreforceradio.com, DAB, smart speaker, app, Twitch/Mixcloud.I play at clubs and festivals across the country, I selectively choose to play at some corporate events and private parties as an open format DJ as well, as I love the challenge of having to make all ages dance.I can normally be found beatgridding and fiddling about with metadata as well as playing with the latest DJ tech.
