By doing this I hope me and some other people in the

South and West have proved to be a counter weight

to a prevailing fixation that the definition of a nationwide scene never

stretches further than the city limits of the capitol.

As a resident and promoter at a bunch of swedish clubs I have tried to

act as a representative of styles as jungle and drum&bass but also

dj-wise as a progressor of new influences fusing a wide selection of

flavours into my sets during the years, like UK-garage, Nu Skool

Breaks, Electrohouse and Dubstep.

I'm always on a neverending hunt for new funky rythms,

infectious basslines and evolving grooves.

Musical Background

I started spinning tunes shortly after attending university studies

in the student town of Lund in 93. This felt as a natural development

after years of intense vinyl addiction and also never missing out on

any of the early rave parties in Denmark and the South-Swedish

region.

My musical roots are in 80..s electronic music and I grew up with

acts like Depeche Mode, Cabaret Voltaire, Kraftwerk, Front 242 and

Nitzer Ebb. As electronic music evolved I got into styles like New Beat

and Acid onto the sound of early Harthouse Techno. In 92 I got heavily

into hardcore like SL-2 and Altern-8 and a while later styles like Jungle

and Trip Hop. I mainly followed the London-scene and it became

my main influence for several years.

Clubs

During the years I’ve hosted several regular club events like Club

Skywalker, Deep Fry, Super Sharp Shooter, Concrete Garage,

Grand National Jamrock and last but not least Freedom, featuring

guests as Claude Young, DJ Rush, Pascal F.E.O.S, Adam Beyer,

Stacey Pullen, Ricardo Villalobos, Cari Lekebush and many more.

I’ve tried to do my share of keeping the vibe alive and bring over

acts I find exciting. I’ve also had the opportunity to perform at both

national festivals, many clubs around Scandinavia and also at the

flourishing scene of Eastern Europe.

In May 2008 i shut down my monthly event Big Bad Bass (previously

Super Sharp Shooter) after running for a straight 10 year period.

During this time it reached a nationwide reputation as one of swedens

most intense dancefloors with a long array of scandinavian

guest-djs and mc's.

Present

My musical preference reflects my roots and lately I normally

spin everything from straight D'n'B sets covering styles as Jump up,

Liquid Funk, Ragga Jungle, Ol’ Skool and Drumfunk to straight House

or crossover sets fusing Breaks, Electro and Bassline House.

I also promote my present event "Fish'n Chips - UK Bass",

a small but intense monthly event crossing styles like Bassline House,

Drum&Bass, Dubstep, Grime, Breaks & Ol' Skool
