Hi, due to all the +ve feedback Ive had about my mixes over the last few months I thought it was about time I posted my dj profile on here....

...Genre..Psychedelic progressive funky'n'chunky groovy Trance between 130-145 bpm. I describe it as 'the full-on end of progressive and/or the progressive end of full-on'.

...CDJ name.. "Lorraine"..lets keep things simple !, & now with brackets '(psilocybe tribe/sunrise)'

...I discovered psy trance in 2002 through my mate Ash (Celtic Psy forum keymaster/Psilocybe Tribe(prev.k/a DossePosse)), after 25 years of northern soul & 2 years of techno !
I began accumulating tunes, going to club nights-Alien Resonance/Sunrise/U.V/Kulu/Cabbage & outdoor psy parties in North Wales.
I never set out to be a dj, I just wanted to hear my taste in psy trance. I began by playing a few tunes @ the end of outdoor parties when everyone else was too wasted to play.
Then, based on my enthusiasm & taste, (I think !?) Bez23(Kulu) asked me if I was up for playing @ Kulu (Bradford May 2005) WoW-my chance to play my favourite tunes. I wasn't gonna turn that chance down just because I couldn't dj !
I had 2 months to get to grips with the mechanics of dj ing, anyway its the tunes that count !!
It's been & still is a slow but interesting learning curve this dj malarkey. But, hey I'm enjoying it & for as long as they keep making tickety boo tunes that make me move I'll keep wanting to play them.
Thanks to Ash (celtic psy forum admin/psilocybe tribe & good friend) for getting me hooked on psy trance, for letting me practice on his cdj1000's and for sorting me my own decks & mixer.
Thanks to Gerry Aum (Kulu/Sunrise) for 1st putting the headphones on my head and encouraging me.
Thanks to Bez23 & Kulu for starting my dj ing ball rolling.
Thanks to Messmedia's leap of faith by giving me my 1st residency.
Thanks to Sunrise for my 2nd & current residency.
Thanks also to Anushka (Bristol), Shanti (Liverpool), UltraViolet (Wirral) & AudioAddictz (internet radio) for recently taking me on as a resident
Thanks to all who have let me loose behind their decks & have helped to make me the obsessed psy trance anorak I am today !!
