Having been integrally involved within the UK underground scene for well over 20 years, he has participated in and supervised it's evolution from it's early beginnings to now being an highly eclectic club culture; both regarded and revered globally for being one of the most dynamic and ever changing styles of electronic dance music.

Despite being for the most part associated with Drum & Bass and regarded by both avid listeners and his fellow artists and peers as being the 'Godfather' of this genre, he himself is quick to publicise his own musical journey charting his other creative influences and exploits prior to the birth of Drum and Bass. "I've listened to black music all my life. Reggae, Hip Hop, R&B, Funk, Disco the whole thing. I started cruising to house then hardcore." Now it's Drum & Bass but House is what I know inside and out. That's what I grew up with, my first love. I know everything about it. Drum & Bass is something we formulated out of House."

It's this cultured journey which qualifies him for almost unrivalled praise and recognition as clearly his efforts and his contributions have been critical in helping to establish and nurture UK Urban music as we know it today, which is flourishing as one of the most lucrative mainstream genres.
