From the age of 16 London based DJ / Producer Lase has been involved in the music scene. Listening to Tim Westwood and Max n Dave (back in the day), he quickly got to love Hip Hop and the culture. Loving the way this music was put together it was only a matter of time till he evolved and came across a new music revolution: The Rave Era. Started like most as a raver Lase dedicated himself to the vibe which was known as ‘the rave scene’ back in 1988 where the original warehouse events were born. This was when the music was a mixture of Acid, Hip House and Techno basically everything was thrown into the mix. This music quickly formed the basis of a Warehouse Rave Culture. Over the following3 yearsLase enjoyed such events as: Sunrise, Energy, Biology and Fantastic Ibiza. Local weekly haunts included such events as: Labyrinth (Silver City), Dance Party, and Dungeons. It was in 1990 Lase knew he wanted more, and at the age of 19 purchased his 1st pair of Technics decks. From this point he has been dedicated to developing his skills and ability to achieve where he is today. Inspired by such DJ’s as Fabio n Grooverider, Mikey Finn, Hype, and Ellis Dee (to name a few) Lase has been chipping away at the scene. Music was evolving and at this point Hardcore was born which was a genre that made more use of break beat loops leaving behind the familiar four to the floor house style beats from 1989. Itwasn'ttill 1992 / 93 when the amen break came into affect which truly established the Hardcore vibe. Lase was still raving and enjoying such events as: World Dance (Lydd Airport), Desire, Tasco Warehouse and Roller Express where he started to really study his peers. His first break came in 1994 where a friend of his started a pirate radio station by the name of ‘Pleasure FM’. This was eventually to be named ‘Shine FM’ which is still around to this day on 87.9FM. He enjoyed playing classic house anthems, and drum n bass. However this soon became apparent that his beats were not directed to the right audience so Lase decided to find a new home. It was from this time Lase enjoyed being a part of and supporting stations such as: Rude FM, Y2K, Live FM, Origin FM, Invincible Radio, and Drum n Bass Worldwide. During his stint on Origin FM Lase was known for supporting new and up n coming artists. Radio shows quickly turned into guest spots which he presented with DJ Guvna. Artists such as: Commix, A.I. and Craggz and Parallel Forces (to name a few) rolled up in the spot. During the inception of Invincible Magazine Lase headed up the Drum n Bass side of the radio/mag along with DJ Guvna interviewing people such as Marky and XRS. Lase finally got the call in early 2006 where he was given the opportunity in playing on the NO:1 Drum n Bass station on the airwaves Kool FM 94.6. You could hear Lase spinning classic liquid drum n bass and rollers on Kool every Monday night 7-9pm or 9-11pm [GMT] alternate weeks alongside Dezert Rat on a session called ‘Liquid Monday’s’. The night has a line up of artists such as: Alite, Viper, Emtek, Five Alive, 5iveo, K Eye, Joker D, and Chef. Regularly Lase n Dezert Rat showcased new talent as well as support the established artists with guest spot appearances from artists such as: Top Cat n Tenor Fly, Redeyes, Empi, Tendai, Madcap, Mijatoho and Jerona Fruits (to name a few). Now Mr Lase is hard at work in the studio making his first album! [WATCH THIS SPACE!]

It all started back in 1990 with The Happy Mondays & Stone Roses. Rave was still underground & Illegal The sound was fresh. It all started when I listened to a mixtape a mate was listenin to he said have a listen to this. I soon started to search for pirate stations around my local area, MIX FM, FRESH FM (Leicester) & KOOL FM (Birmingham). Has I got more into the music I thought I would have a go at DJin so brought myself a pair of soundlab belt drives & a numark mixer & buy my vinyl from 5HQ. In 2009 I thought I would have a go at producin my own tracks. UNDER CONTRUCTION

Exit Point's passion for the music began in the early 90s, a fan of the Madchester sound of The Stone Roses & Happy Mondays, from here, his musical tastes shifted to the underground Rave sounds of the mid 90's after being introduced to a mixtape by a friend. This led to Exit becoming an avid listener of the local pirate stations, Mix FM, Fresh FM (Leicester) & Kool FM (Birmingham).This keenness further led Exit to take up DJ'ing, initially with a pair of Soundlab belt drives & a Numark mixer. Exit got into the Jungle sound in 1994 and would buy his vinyl from the legendary 5HQ shop in Leicester.

2x Technics SL1210 Mk II Citronic Pro-10 2 x Pioneer CDJ 400 Kaoss Pad II iKey Plus - recorded to WAV Audacity - compress to 320kbps MP3 All my mixes are done real time without software. Sometimes I edit with Audacity to remove errors. 6000+ vinyl & 3000+ cd: 80s synthpop, soul/funk, electro, hip hop, dub & roots, chicago house, acid house, rave/hardcore, techno, handbag house, hard techno, detroit techno, drum & bass, IDM, ambient, trance, tech-house, progressive house, electro house, dubstep, and a bit of everything in between! for collection listing and pics: http://www.discogs.com/user/steady-j Where do I start? Graeme Park, WARP, Public Enemy, Autechre, No U Turn, Alex Patterson, Roger Troutman, Juan Atkins, Todd Terry, Jeff Mills, Pete Namlook, Mark Archer Been into music since I was a kid - soul & funk on the radio with Robbie Vincent on a Sunday eve after Annie Nightingale after the Charts! Hooked on house from when I first heard those first few "House" records from Chicago in late 86 - Love Can't Turn Around, Jack Your Body etc. Also into Hip Hop big time in those days - first it was Mantronix & LL CoolJ, then Public Enemy, NWA, Run DMC all that stuff! Got the record buying bug at Uni. Cut my mixing teeth at University Radio and bought some Soundlab decks with my summer job money. They wore out in about 4 or 5 years and were replaced by the Technics. Following Dance Music's twists and turns through the years, trying most things, but not loving all genres. My biggest musical regret is spurning the nascent hardcore scene when the tracks were still sounding rough and ropey, and I missed out on the development of jungle between 92-95, picking up again with the techstep thing in 95. But I sure as hell bought a lot of house and techno in those years! Late 90s I concentrated on techno, D&B and "IDM" - the whole WARP/Aphex/Autechre spawned genre of electronic listening music and experimentation. But I kept ujp with the commercial house and trance stuff too. Spent a lot of money on vinyl and clubbing in those days, Styles I never really got into (but still enjoy in the right circumstances) include happy hardcore, gabba, breaks, minimal and UKG (until dubstep and its more recent mutations). Early 2000s was lean years for me with starting a family, plus illness, slowing down my clubbing and music purchasing. A Numark CD deck joined my setup but became unreliable after a few years and was replaced by the Pioneers. Picked up again in the last few years with more new purchases than in the early 2000s but still a lot less than in the 90s due to time and funding limitations. Nowadays listening to D&B, dubstep, house, techno, and any eclectic stuff that catches my ear. Mostly buy CDs and MP3 now due to the cost of vinyl but still love mixing vinyl and prefer the hands-on approach, hence the Pioneers instead of a laptop. The Citronic is the third mixer I have owned and by far the best. The Kaoss Pad was a lucky bargain from a friend of a friend, and the iKey is essential for recording, after years of using tape and minidisc! I listed "house" as my favourite genre, not because that is what I favour most at present, but because in a way it's all house music. To me, Chicago House (and Detroit Techno) circa 1986 was the focal point, the narrowing in the funnel of all music, that then went on to fan out and spawn all the music I love. And by the way, I know its a long shot, if you like what you hear, any promoters or anyone wanting a DJ for a club, bar or even a party, somewhere around the West Midlands and Worcestershire, UK (I live in Malvern) in any of the styles of any of my mixes uploaded here, just get in touch!
