Having been a DJ for over 30 years now, Skin Deep Sessions is an opportunity for me to dig deep into my collection and begin each set with an eclectic selection of tracks that have inspired me over the years.

Tracks that bring fond memories of times in front of and behind the decks. Encouraging the listener to enjoy tracks that they may not necessarily be familiar with, but which fit in perfectly with the House Music vibes that follow later in each show.

I enjoy the Disco sounds familiar with the Paradise Garage, and House music in all its forms, especially the deeper vibes.

I am heavily inspired by NYC and Chicago based DJ’s/Producers past and present such as Francois K, Danny Krivit, Joe Clausell, Ron Trent, Masters at Work, Timmy Regisford, Kerri Chandler, Danny Tenaglia, Tony Humphries, Terry Hunter, Larry Heard and Frankie Knuckles.

From the mid 90’s I attended parties such as Body & Soul, Shelter, Deep Space, 718 Sessions and David Mancuso’s Loft party in NYC, and unforgettable times at London’s very own Garage City with Bobby and Steve and many other great UK DJ’s that were into the same sound, ensured I was in touch with the emotions that the music brought to the dancefloor, and gained an understanding of programming a set from a DJ perspective.

I currently hold a monthly residency as DJ/Promoter for the Unique Rhythm Soulful House parties at the Horse and Groom, Shoreditch, London and can be found playing at other ad-hoc underground parties in and around London.
