Beginning with playing records in the mid 90's, over two decades of dj'ing has allowed for specializing in many different genres and feels. Starting off with mostly Jungle, Trip Hop and various other electronic music, an obsession with Ragga Jungle lead to a love of Dancehall, then Reggae, Dub and onto pretty much all types of Jamaican music (and UK crossover). Around the turn of the century, interest in then-current forms of Drum'n'Bass started to fade (although Old School and Ragga Jungle will forever remain) and Downtempo, Dub, and Dancehall moved to the forefront. Ambient and Soundscape realms had filled out by then too. Dubstep became a major focus starting in 2005, onwards to the many developing strains of what most have agreed to call "Bass Music". In a more low slung fashion, when the mood calls - sometimes Modern RnB, Grime and Rap. Strains of Dub and Journey are forever present, no matter what the genre. It’s always changing, really.

For the most up-to-date and current moods - best to directly check the SOUNDCLOUD, as this page doesn’t get updated often. The 2019 Boiler Room set still reps current modes being covered as well.

dub..

twas a laid back night at rime (r.i.p.) on commercial drive in east van in august. i was getting free with the delay FX on this cheap beringher DJ mixer, adding extra sound effects on some axis8 cdj's (if i remember right), and playing some of my favourite dub and reggae records at the time. at least a few 45's in there, and, yeah, a good amount of original pressings (for those that care). s'mix is an oldy but goody.
