Born near Brighton in 71, I have grown up through some pretty epic eras of dance music, the ones effecting me the most being the late 80s and early 90s. I was and am still a true raver! My heart still lies with both early hardcore and club tracks, if its good I like it. I wouldn't say my musical taste is

restricted to these as I like all sorts and have a very eclectic taste however I do love to play with the aforementioned genres but mostly house.

I first got into DJ-ing when I was 15 and have amassed a large collection of vinyl, however this is now packed up in boxes as it proves too difficult to move around. I was in the military (RAF) for 30 years and lumping my records around not only proved difficult but also costly to some of my beloved tracks. I now find digital not only easier to move with

but also a hell of a lot lighter! I DJ'd frequently in the NAAFI "bops" (Discos) ,house parties and later branched out into DJ-ing at clubs in the local area to the bases I have nave been been posted to.

I have been with HMR (house music radio) for nearly a year now and love the family and the ethos of the station.

Why the nick name El Stretcho you may ask? It was given to me by a friend....why? Well I'm 6ft 8 inches tall but I am definitely not Spanish ;0) so.....Come join me , you may like what you hear! Rave on and enjoy the party!!
