A long time jungle raver since I discovered the sound around 1992, I have been hooked ever since. From the moment I discovered jungle I had to understand how it worked; the mixing and other DJ skills fascinated me, as well as the magical laser cut wonderlands of the clubs and raves.
I started mixing early in '93 and have been a keen DJ ever since. Now I am an accomplished mixologist and bring nothing but the heaviest and deepest vibes in a swathe of upfront, technical and very musical mixing. The boundaries get pushed as I traverse the full spectrum of DNB, leaning towards the darker more atmospheric rolling sounds.
I play out regularly, and hope to push through to being a circuit DJ on the scene. At the moment I play two weekly internet radio shows, Friday nights on www.ukbassradio.com. Usually my MC, and partner in Unitedmindz, Kalaish is performing with me; Kalaish is an awesome MC rolling out the conscious vibes. We are old friends and we really bounce off each other as we perform, he is simply of the highest calibre an MC can be.
Having held DJ residencies with Squeeze18, Freedom Sound-System and Omnipotent, plus playing extensively on the warehouse and free party scene, as well as in clubs throughout the south from the legendary Dungeons to major venues like The Fridge in Brixton; I am raring to go in any venue.
In the last couple of years I have finally been getting onto some production and things are slowly coming good. In fact I recently won the Cutting Room competition on BBC 1XTRA, with the first track I have shown anyone but my friends. So I thought it time to put a few tracks on my myspace too. Things are moving in the right direction - so watch out for what's to come! .

Kalaish

Kalaish – MC, Producer and one half of Unitedmindz. I first caught the DnB/ jungle bug from way back in the raving/ free party days over a decade and a half ago , an experience that changed my life!! As a lover of drums and an accomplished drummer playing traditional kits, Djembe, Darabhuka and Conga’s, it was a natural progression from the early rave sounds to the Jungle and DnB of the AWOL sound through to the present day. Inspired by my love of Hip Hop and DnB I took the mic into the public realm 3 and a half years ago, teaming up with long time friend DJ CJ for the 5 hour + Unitedmindz show, now in its 3 rd year.

I have 3 elements that I maintain as the basis for my mc'ing - Musicality, Content and Timing. It's about becoming with the music, the flows, understanding the sound and picking the right time to rhyme. I Give the DJ the space and time to flex and the freedom to express their skills and sounds, something I enjoy doing with DJ CJ an awesome DJ and technical athlete, in fact in my opinion one of the technicaly skilled and precise Dj's there is. Who else can play 5-hour regular sets without mistake?????? It's all about the listening pleasure. It's about the music. As Unitedmindz Dj Cj + myself are pushing the boundaries in an otherwise sometimes creatively stale environment, developing an unprecedented teamwork and spontaneity unseen or heard between DJ and MC. I have performed at venues such as the Fridge in Brixton and regualy at The Freedom events hosted by Nastybeatz. If I can find my way out of my studio, 2007 will see the release of my new production projects to compliment the completed Unitedmindz web site. BIG UP 1 + all and to the Govenor DJ Overload maximum :-)
