Influenced by Chicago, New York & Detriot dance music, he started playing out when he was a teenager at house parties, block parties and neighbourhood clubs and selling mix tapes in the hood with his former crew. His broad DJ influences range from Jack Master Funk to Funkmaster Flex and from Kraftwerk to Daft Punk - but moreso the Ghetto Tech originators DJ Funk and DJ Assault. Electro was also a big influence on DJ CA$HMERE's production interests and led him to produce his crew's first EP project. He also helped push both the electro and ghetto tech sound into the region when it wasn't so popular or mainstream.
