Bass generator was the master of mash-up during the late 80s early 90s, his unique style of taking old skool dance/techno and "overmixin" became legendary. He will always be remembered for mixing the life out of RAF' we got to come together, which he then took the lyrics from and created one of the best bouncy hardcore anthems of all time THE EVENT.
Some people reckon he ruined the scene but as far as i am concerned he made it, he took music that was going nowhere, sped it up and created HARDCORE. He was never scared to move with the times and paved the way for unity as if there was a good trancy song he would air it just the same as if there was a mad gabba song, and this is what made him unique.
Along with Scott Brown he innovated and motivated and pulled off things that every aspiring music lover desires; creating a very successful record label, organising major events listing world class dj's, and at one point trying to save the hardcore scene risking his own neck at the same time.
He is now living in Canada with his wife and daughter and sells his records on Ebay, and his event tapes/cds through the official Fantazia website.
