25 June 1996
I started to DJ in Xmas 1990/1991 after I had been inspired by 'acid music' that I'd heard at 'Glastonbury 1990'. At that time I was into psyche rock (Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Gong etc.). However, when I heard 'acid music', this really woke me up to the 90's - I thought that computer generated music and sound was the way to go - I felt quite enlightened at the time.

As things progressed I had to pack my job in so I could concentrate on music & DJing. Record buying was expensive so I used to mix tapes (crap ones unfortunately, because I thought I knew how to mix) and walk round Leeds & Wakefield every Saturday with a bag of tapes and a walkman approaching any 'E' head I saw (you could spot them a mile off!) and see if they weanted to by me Freak tape for £3. Much to my surprise I sold at least 10 each week, which paid for my next lot of records. It went on like this for at least a year. There must be at least 30 different old tapes around. Subsequently the local record shop (Crash Records) decided to sell tapes from the shop which gave me a much better exposure and more tape sales.

One day I bumped into a couple of lads who owned a record shop in Bradford. I gave them my latest tape 'Alles Naar de Kl-tz', which they said was far too hard, but if I mixed mellower hardcore tapes they would distribute them country wide (Hence Freak Vol 1 - 8). Also they started the record label 'Hard of Hearing'.

By a strange twist of fate, some other people got to meet me and offered me studio time at which I jumped on the offer. This studio is now known as 'Microdot Studios' and this is where most of the early tracks were made.

After about a year of this we sort of fell out and I started to get my own studio gear and haven't looked back since. The first release was 'Tank Source' (Picture Disc), Killout 15.

This happened because I met the label owner and he said he wanted some 'gabber' trax (at this point 92/93 'gabber' was becoming a trendy and fashionable word to use. It suited the music - hard, fast & noisy). Since I started to listen to acid (I was always into the hardest records I could buy) I was a natural gabber at the end of the day. But as we now know, gabber is about pop songs and cheese thanks to Scott Brown & Rotterdam (who I used to respect), but good luck to them anyway.

So, 5 years on, I have played a lot of gigs in the UK and abroad (France, Cologne, USA) and am considered evil by some, but I've just been following my ideas of how thins should be.....
