My first love of real music came from going to the rare groove clubs in london in the mid 80's , frequenting the Wag club , shake and finger pop, special branch ,doo at the zoo, delirium ,from these clubs grew my love for rare groove and jazz funk , and spending hours in record shops... I then was introduced to early chicago house music and acid house where i was a regular at spectrum,future,loud noise,shoom , these were the hazy days of acid house,in 1989 i took over residency @ paradise lost club in tenerife,came back to london doing various gigs,after many years of travel finally settled in sanfrancisco for 8 years playing regulary in clubs 1015,vsf,the end up,place pigalle on fridays ,funkt ,also cementing 2 resedencies at the successful havin it large and oblivion boat parties .
