How did you start out?

I just got pissed off listening to the same DJs ripping people off week in, week out and basically not giving people value for money as far as I was concerned, being a raver. I decided after watching that for years on end that I could do a good enough job personally to make people come away feeling as if they's enjoyed themselves and that's what it's about.

What is Souljah records?

Well, this is the producer of Souljah records and Knowledge and Wisdom, (points to friend) Terry T. He produced most of the tunes I played tonight. We've got a few double-packs coming out in the next few months. We got some upfront 2001 jungle stuff, not just old stuff being rehashed, proper upfront new stuff. Terry T runs both those labels, Souljah and Knowledge and Wisdom.

What role does your rastafari religion play in your music?

It's not really so much a religion, it's just an actual vibe. We do things at our own speed, not at other people's pace. Others people think that people will jump through hoops or this that or the other. We do things in a more... Carribean style, more relaxed, just our thing on a vibe, it's never a rushed thing. We have got some religious beliefs but that doesn't come into it really, it's our own personal stuff.

What kind of venues do you feel are best for jungle, clubs, festivals or squats?

It's sporadic. There's not enough raves on and the scene is suffering.

What advice would you give to Dissident?

Keep doing what you're doing. If you give up now someone else will come and take your spot, simple. Someone will come and do exactly what you're doing. If you give up someone will take off and it will be bigger than you. Just keep doing what you are doing and hopefully it will get through.
