Discovering Northern Soul (a dance movement that grew out of the Wigan
Casino club in the North of England) in 1977, further influenced by the
DIY ethos and basic honesty of the Punk movement in the late 70's and
the resurgence of homegrown Ska and Reggae in UK, The Suit has been
wedded to honest and soulful music all his adult life.

A long term listener and member of dogglounge.com (joined a week after
Odogg), The Suit had a Road to Damascus moment of epiphany in The
Curious J's living room (mind your tongues boys'n'girls) in March 2007
when he discovered that beatmatching on a pair of Technic 1210 MkIIs was
a LOT easier than on a pair of ageing belt drive Garrards (the last rig
he had played on in 1985).

Returning home to the UK, he immediately bought himself a set-up, vinyl
and got to work practicing; transforming a spare room at his offices
into a studio and spending WAY too much time spinning (often into the
not-so-early hours of the morning).

4 months later, after Odogg heard him playing live at a party in Second
Life, he was offered the opportunity to play out in dogglounge.
