I'm a DJ who has made some music. For all DJ Bookings please contact Dave or Tom at the Bassic Agency - [email protected] OR [email protected]
Joined May 2009
If this government is hell bent on destroying the nightlife industry, I will not only consider playing at illegal parties I'll consider putting them on myself. I haven't worked for 30+ years building a career & a scene to let it all be pissed away for nothing.

Just get it fucking right this time, I'd rather be in lockdown until May than open up too fast, too soon and end up back where we started (again) !! #Lockdown4.

You know I've never done or been considered for a BBC essential mix, now I'm not bitching, although I probably am by tweeting this, but I'm just saying there are a way less (IMO) DJ's that have done one, but, hey I'm a soldier & not a flavour of the month, would be nice tho' . .

To people in the crowd, please don't shout requests like 'play harder, deeper, faster etc . ' at me or any DJ. We are here to represent ourselves & our personality, not to be shouted at. 1. Im not going to do whatever you're shouting. 2. its incredibly rude. Thanks, from all DJs.

I saw Argos was trending and assumed it was going to be about job losses due to Covid but it turns out a bunch of racists got triggered because Argos had the 'nerve' to run an advert with a black family in it. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be British. π.

Weβre all in lockdown so do a DJ livestream, goes well, everyone has fun, make it downloadable the next day as an mp3, get messages from a few people saying βmp3? I was expecting WAV or FLAC!β . Welcome to 2020 where the self entitled know no bounds π.

I know Im not on my own, as DJs we're all in the same boat with other live acts. But this is more than just my job, its my life, Im 49 years old, had a set of decks since I was 14, been a pro DJ since 89 & an international DJ since 93. Never had more than a month off, I feel lost.

The vaccine is optional. Bill Gates doesn't want to put microchips into your body. This isn't a pre-planned giant reset. Trump lost the election fair & square. 5G towers aren't evil. The Earth isn't flat. And the only New World Order had Hulk Hogan in it. Have a nice day. π

Musical snobbery is the worst, if I had made Shadow Boxing today some people would call it a 'foghorn' tune and shoot it down in flames, get off your high horse or better still go to a niche dnb night where you can just hear the same sound all night long. And don't fucking @ me.

Truly saddened to hear the awful news that MC Conrad has left us. One of the best to ever do it. A very sad day for drum and bass and a reminder of how fragile this life thing is, my thoughts go out to his family and close friends. Rest easy Conrad. β€

I hope people understand what is happening here in the UK & what's at stake, no hyperbole, this is now not a case of when can we get back to gigs & live events, this is now will we ever get back to gigs & live events. The language coming from the UK government couldn't be clearer.

Let me get this straight, after almost 18 months of this BS, people are now moaning that restrictions are going to be lifted? FFS how long do you want? Enough already, wear a mask if you want to, stay at home if you want to, your choice but most of us want our fucking lives back!.

Just because I don't jump around behind the decks waving my arms around (not that theres anything wrong with it) please don't think I'm not into it, trust me, I'm just as much if not more into it than any other DJ out there. I'm paid to make people dance, not dance myself. πβοΈ.

Im not a Covid denier, anti mask, anti vaxer, any of that. Ive followed the rules, the advice, but this is the first time Ive really felt like I might not ever DJ in a club again because this Gov' doesn't care about the arts, we are being sold out & they're corrupt & incompetent.

Had my first jab today (AZ) feel fine, after all the shit I have put into my body over the years I'm not worried in the slightest, it's a vaccine not nanobot mind control technology, but I guess that makes me a sheep, don't @ me because I don't give a fuck about your theories. β€οΈ.

So let me get this straight, some people think that @ivantoney24 shouldn't have posted the screenshot of the person who sent him racist abuse, because it 'might ruin his life' . maybe, just maybe, don't be a racist and then your life won't get ruined when you do racist stuff.

I feel sad, I haven't felt sad in a long long time, I've been down or had a bad day, but this shit going on right now makes me feel sad. I'm grateful for life, my family, my friends and for music, but sad that so many people are suffering. Fuck this virus.

We will never have this virus under control in the UK until we close our borders & enforce a 14 day quarantine with testing before entry like New Zealand and Australia. This should have been done at the start, we're an island FFS! .And NO this has NOTHING to do with Brexit.

If clubs are going to be closed until October, probably January & maybe even March 2021. That could be a whole year of nothing, what will be left? What business can survive a whole year of not being open? .Don't complain when illegal parties become the 'new normal' . .

Is it just me or do other DJ's prefer the 2000s to the new CDJ 3000s? .I fucking hate them, overly fussy, sometimes don't play tracks, sometimes don't display artist info, too much going on . just me? .And please don't reply saying 'play vinyl' because I don't give a fuck.

I'm 49 years old, I've seen many protests and periods of unrest in my lifetime, through the 70s, 80s & 90s, but this time, this might be the one when we see actual change and set a new course going forward, it feels different, I hope so, I really hope so. #optimistic #change.

I only ever wanted to be a DJ. Any wrong turns I took were my fault & I own them all but when its all said & done and I look back at it all. I can say I did it my way on my own terms. That's all anyone can ask for and I'm proud of my small part in this crazy thing called D&B.βοΈ.

THREAD 1/11: Now here's a story. Back in the 90s, along with lots of teenagers in Cornwall, I started going to raves & listening to hardcore and drum & bass. Here's me and my mate Ollie after a long night (Helter Skelter, Milton Keynes, 97. ). And yes that is a high viz jacket.

If you love music you would never say anything like this, you would never treat music as just a commodity or content. As Kasra said, fuck this guy. We need to get our music off this shitty platform otherwise we can't complain when we continually get shafted.

Shout out to all the artists, labels, DJs who take risks, aren't prepared to play it safe & keep this dnb thing always moving forward, innovation is one of the key ingredients that make dnb so special & sometimes you need to swing and miss to know where the boundaries are. #dnb.

Look, to be clear, yes I'm a DJ & I will mostly talk about DJ'ing & music but I'm also a human being & I have opinions on politics, social issues, etc. If you only want the music part please unfollow. I really don't like being told 'stick to dnb' and I don't enjoy the negativity.

When / if you vote on Thursday, remember what they did to the nightlife industry during lockdown, remember that they told people in the arts to go and retrain, look at the state of the club scene today, they lied and the scene almost died, fuck the Tories into the sea.

If you're a shy person or uncomfortable in public situations like myself, to feel constantly surrounded by people professionally, but at times to feel so lonely, is such a weird feeling, it something I and many others who do what I do feel but somehow you never get used to it . .
