Being part of a very large & musically diverse Family, I was lucky enough to be exposed to and enthused by many era’s of great Music from as early as the 1950’s and across a wide range of different styles, from Motown, Rockabilly, Jazz & Soul through to Punk, Ska, Heavy Metal, Rock and especially Hip Hop & Dance Music. Being born in 1978 I was fortunate to see the start of what we now call Dance Music, from the 80’s era onwards, such as House, Speed Garage, early Rave, Happy Hardcore, Drum n Bass, Jungle and Techno. It was in this beginning phase of Dance Music that I became even more engrossed in the Scene, especially with House Music, Rave, Techno & Speed Garage. From that early exposure i started clubbing in places such as Cream, Uropa, Ark, Ministry of Sound, Sankey’s, Pleasure Rooms and the Legendary Gallery in Leeds. Here i soon became aware of Djing, although I remained a clubber for many more Years before I ever considered trying it out myself. Eventually, after seeing some of the greatest DJs & Musician’s in the World perform, such as Tony De Vit, Prodigy, DJ Sy, Rob Tissera, Carl Cox, Steve Luigi, Altern-8, Jeremy Healey, Sasha & Digweed and many more besides, I finally decided to try my hand at Djing and bought my first set of Turntables, some belt-driven Soundlab DLP 1600’s and a cheap Synergy T1000 Mixer then started to play around with music and began building my own Vinyl & CD collection It wasn’t until I invested in a pair of Technics SL1210 mk2’s back in 2008 that I truly began to learn the Art of Djing and also began frequenting Hard House Events at some of the best Night’s in the early to mid 2000’s, Housewives Choice, Sundissential, Glasshouse, GoodGreef & Savaged to name a few of my all-time favourites. Later in 2008, I started up my own Night “Back2Bounce” helped by some of my good friends and great DJs, Martin C, Tony H, Mad Will, Mosswah, Joe Longbottom and James Clark, catering for like-minded clubbers & DJs alike with the Music Policy being one of Uplifting & Bouncy Hard House. During that period I was lucky enough to be asked to play at several Savaged Events, including one Xmas Special alongside one of my favourite DJ/Producer’s, the mighty Ilogik and was also hired for a few private parties here and there. Along with all this, I began venturing into Online Djing thanks to a good friend of mine Matthew Ridings, who I helped set up WkdBeats Online Radio with, playing a wide range of Hard House & Organ Bassline on my shows and soon after that, I began playing around with Music Production using Fruity Loops and Ableton, where I made quite a few tracks ranging from Bounce & Mash Up’s to Dirty Dutch House & Fidget, with several signed to Labels and sold Worldwide via different online music stores. Unfortunately soon after all this I had to put my Musical ambitions on hold, feeling that i’d never truly gotten off the ground properly, due to severe difficult times & personal Family circumstances and more importantly a need to focus on my own Family more which mainly involved my becoming a Full-time Carer for my Wife Siubhan and putting my full attention on raising my two young Girls, leaving me with no time to spare for my love of Music. I spent the next ten or so Years this way, whilst holding onto my dream of returning to my love for Djing, Producing and Dance Music, even trying to entice myself back in by setting up a DJ Page on Facebook and making new Music & Mixes when I had the time spare, although it wasn’t until 2019 that things ultimately took a turn for the better and my patience was finally rewarded and my passion renewed. I have since began focusing once again on my Djing and Producing, revitalizing my Facebook DJ Group and turning my attention to giving it my all, to see how far I can take it and more importantly get back to enjoying life and Music a lot more. Currently I have a Monthly Schedule for my Music, that I plan to maintain and use to showcase myself with, by releasing regular Monthly Mixes through my love of Speed Garage, Organ Bassline, Jackin’ House, Dirty Dutch House, Melbourne Bounce, Bounce, Hard House & Hard Bounce and am also, for the first time, working with other producer’s to make fresh new music, with my first being my upcoming original Hard Bounce release “Hit Em Wi The Rolla” in collaboration with Joe Longbottom, closely followed later this May by getting back into the studio to finish off a special Remix of BassJumper & Jon BW - I Believe [Jump Trax]

DJ Cosmic Fire - Old Skool Rave DJ From the early 90's being heavily involved in the Underground Warehouse Rave Scene, I have been a natural when it comes to choosing 12" tunes & beatmixing them, to creating the emotionally charged journey for others to follow, weather it be Hard Trance, Harder House, Hard Core, Hard Style, Hard Tech, Progressive Trance, PsyTrance, Tribal Trance & PowerTrance.Having DJ Crisis as a firstly a long time friend (at the time), then as a house mate through '93, '94 & '95, plus of course a fellow promoter back in the day, allowed me 24/7 access to the art of flat out & intense beatmixing. I assisted alot with tracks selected & set arrangments of many of released CD's & Tapes as standard issue & the result being happy HartCore Ravers aplenty - this was very fullfilling indeed.I began to get serious on the decks after my involvement in the production of my last Rave in 1996 after a full blown schedule through '93, '94 & '95, co-producing 5 Mega Successful Underground Raves, plus having moved from the Northern Beaches up to the Mid Nth Coast at the time, allowed me the time to have "the time" to get busy on the decks.In 2000, I reached peak form after a long holiday in the UK where I brought back over 500 12" tunes, adding to my already vast collection of eclectic beats. I was mixing flatout everyday after work & quickly gained a solid reputation for smooth, seamless, beatmixed sets, with epic tracks from start to finish, creating a flowing journey through the chosen Genre I released. Many a DJ currently in the limelight or aspiring to be - have emulated my style, tune choice & mixing ever since.Back in those heady days of Future Acid House, Intelligent Hard Trance & the Massive UK Hard House Explosion, many 100's of each of my CD's & Tapes reached the hands of the Raving Public, with white label tunes that were at least 9mths in front of all the top line Sydney rave DJ's. These epic mixes where were on high rotation in car stereos, Home Hi-Fi Set Ups & were even played in clubs as far as New Zealand & the United Kingdom at the time.I have assembled on my audio host site, 15 Full Length High Quality CD's of which most were produced in the studio, but some are actually “live” recordings from various gigs from that corner in time. I invite you to have a listen as a raver from past, present or future & of course, if you just like Techno based music & want to add to your collection. I guarantee that you be very happy with my mixing, track selection & arrangement.

Those from the western suburbs were attending alot moreplus the commercial inner city clubbers came to the larger parties of the likes of the "Prodigy series" & of course - "Colossus". The emergence of mainstream exposure did annoy most of the original hardcore ravers who had stayed true since 1992, most felt that the mystery of the underground had been violated & was now headed for sell-out status (they were right of course). The Old School rave scene reached its peak in the mid nineties (crowd-wise) with the Colossus party in 1994, with an estimated 8000 people in attendance. I am so glad to have been at most of the events spanning 1992 right through to 1996. Anyways, whilst looking for some stuff in my Pandora's boxes the other day, I came across a number of full length high quality VHS videos of some of the most memorableraves from the old school rave era. I watched "Colossus" on theweekend in amazement with my girlfriend, who was blownaway by how everyone was so happy!!I reminisced being there back then, in that magical corner of time,apart of the explosion of mainstream rave in 1994. Althoughbeing an original hardcore raver, I really enjoyed the vibe at this party & seeing so many people from all the different scenes as one. I am digitising this party for all those who are curious asto what went down at the first large scale OLD SCHOOL MEGA PARTY in 1994 – Uploading soon .... P.L.U.R. Jase.W. :-)
