DJ MARKYB

 
Born and raised in London, UK, I started back in 1983 aged 13 and was first introduced to mixing by the early 80's Hip Hop Electro scene and was heavily influenced by the likes of DST, Whiz Kid and Grandmaster Flash, by collecting rare groove, funk, breaks and beats.

Used to always skip school to practice at every given moment and progressed thru the various stages of mixing, scratching and turntablism and went on to showcase this in various underground clubs in the UK as well as at the Notting Hill Carnival.

nb - I've become a little more rusty with age, but I still got lots of tricks up my sleeve.

During the late 80s I was taken aback by the early Chicago House scene, which is where "house music was born" for me and since then have never looked back. I have followed it right the way through from Acid, Old Skool, Tech, Funky and onto the sweet sounds of Deep.

I'm always upfront with what's available musicwise and like to blend the old with the new when mixing if I can. Most of what I play you might've heard, but I do like to keep to that Deep Underground sound.

I can NEVER buy enough music and will be moving in 2008 to accommodate more space to run my business and of course, to expand my pure vinyl music collection.
