Profile: What can I say "I love house music". It's been part of my life as long as I can remember. I was heavily into electro and the whole break dance scene when it suddenly morphed into the early chicago house sound that we all know and love today.

I first got hooked on the house scene way back in '87 and, although I loved the harsh electronic sounds of Acid House, my real love was for deep house classics such as Joe Smooth's "I Try", Paris's "Learn To Love" and Larry Heard's "Mystery Of Love". These tracks became the blueprint for the sounds I've been spinning over the last 20 years.

I started my Djing career in 1991 when persuaded by Centerforce's Babyface (Terry White R.I.P.) to get on the decks and start spinning. Dates at underground clubs around East London quickly followed and I was up and running. My big break came in 1992, when I was spotted Djing at a party by the legendry Sunday Scene promoters "Happy Dayz" they offered me a spot at their gig at the Curtain Road Warehouse. This was promptly followed by residencies at the Gass Club and the Arches and eventually led to me being given spots at the London's Ministry of Sound and Passion in Leicester to name but a few. In the summer of 1995, I was employed by Club UK for their tour of Ibiza and spent 5 months spinning the US House and Garage sound, securing residencies at the Kanya Bar, and super clubs Space and Amnesia as well as various guest spots on the Island. I've also produced tracks for well established labels including Azuli and Champion Records.

I am currently DJing and recording under the moniker 2 Good Souls and envisage big things for 2009!

King DK Feat. Keith Thompson - Release Yourself - 26-Feb-09 04:47 AM
Most slammin release so far this year!!! A fresh interpretation of the african/world music crossover that the likes of Yoruba Soul are championing at the moment. The track kicks of with jerky tribal beats and a crazy wobbly bassline followed by steel drums and peaking when Keith Thompson starts belting out "release yourself, prove yourself". I had the pleasure of dropping this at 2.00am at a packed Pacha a couple of weeks ago and believe me it smashed it!! This is house music of the very finest, hats of to you Mr Graham Lord.

Marlon D* - Underground Collective EP Vol. 1 - 15-Sep-07 02:08 AM
Awesome release from Marlon D which should well and truly put Strictly Rhythm back on the map!! There are two standout cuts on the EP the first being "Jesus Creates Sound", a crazy 5 mins of tribal percussion with the old hip hop vocal sample of "this is a journey into sound" thrown in randomly throughout. Secondly theres "Dance 2 Da Beat" a straight up jackin tech houser with a spoken vocal and subtle James Brown vocal snippets. Both tracks are refreshing in the fact that hes managed to capture a little bit of that oldskool Strictly magic whilst creating fresh sounds for a house scene which is increasingly becoming stale and devoid of new ideas. Genius!

Franz Ferdinand - Matineé - 04-Aug-07 04:55 AM
Great EP from Franz Ferdinand who have already crossed over to the dance fraternity with mixes from Daft Punk, Ewan Pearson & Justice to name but a few and theres a real hidden gem on here in "Forty Feet". I played this at one of my legendry summer house parties during an oldskool Balearic set and the place went absolutely spastic!! Trust me if you played this on a beach in Ibiza youd get the same reaction. Pure sun kissed Balearic heaven!

Bootylicious - Episode Two - 24-Jul-07 10:38 AM
Being a DJ, you cant beat that feeling when you get hold of a killer track you know hardly anyone has. The "Off My Nut Mix" on here is something special, dark bumpy beats and percussion together with an oldskool riff reminiscent of the old hardcore days make this sound as fresh as you like!. Pure underground sounds of the future!!

Adrienne Ferlita - I Can Make U Forget - 18-Jun-07 12:19 PM
Awesome deep houser from Mickey Oliver and Pierre. This was a massive underground anthem and played to death on Centerforce Radio. The beauty of this track is its rawness, starting with Pierres drums and teasing vocal snippets it then drops into a jackin techno bass line which grabs you by the balls! The vocals are very indie/punk sounding but very sassy and as the track starts to peak the drums start to sound slightly out but never messy giving it edge and attitude. Over on the flip the House Mix has some smooth piano work giving it a slightly deeper feel. If ever you had the pleasure of hearing this in a dark dingy club at 3.00am in the morning on a dirty great sound system you are truly blessed!!!
