"Birmingham (UK) Raised DJ Noize, Known for using multiple turntables and mixing Hip-Hop & Accapellas into his Drum&Bass sets"

Noize started to get into Drum & Bass about 2002-2003 after listening to a Slamming Vinyl tape from one of the older lads at school. Instantly he was hooked and very curious to learn more about this type of music and were it came from. He then finds out of a chef at work that he selling his old decks, so the same day buys a pair of Belt Drive TT1500 decks and a Numark dm905 Mixer.

The 1st record he purchased was Ebony dubs Ra only having one tune he would constantly play it and try mixing the old records lying around the house. After getting sick to death of playing just one tune and not being able to do anything with the other records, He takes his first trip to a record shop this was Twister Records in Brierley hill. His passion for buying records really kicked off in about late 2003 going up every week spending his entire wages from his part time job on records

In late 2004 twister records shut down due to lack of sales, Not knowing where to turn he asks around where u can buy tunes from locally, he gets told Tempest records in Birmingham. Since the age of 16 he has shopped there and still does to this day.

As the months go on and the mixing progresses Noize starts recording his sets on 2 tape and giving them out to his friends. After the 2nd mix tape there was a high demand for his mixes from around his area and at school. This is when he starts to mass duplicate the tapes and sell them at school and out and about to friends and to people who were feeling his stuff, This continued through his last years at school.

After finishing school Noize goes straight into a 1 year music tech course at kidderminster college this was a small look into production and the industry side of the music scene, about two thirds into the course Noize gets his set of 1210s which he has been saving up for since the start of the year (one new deck and one Ex demo from HTFR). After graduating this course he decides to continue his education taking a 2 year Btech music course going deeper into the industry and studio work.

December 2007 Noize gets his first big break to play a set @ the legendary Q club in Birmingham (Raveology, Return of the Q) this was the first drum and bass event back @ the Q club since it had been closed down, The night was a huge success with over 2000 tickets sold.

March 2008, Noize enters the DNBA Worldwide Mix competition, over 300 people entered there 30 min mixes which was to be voted by the public. The top 4 djs with the most votes will go head 2 head at the finals in London to be judged by Randall + another A list dj.
Receiving the 3rd most votes out the djs who entered, Noize secures himself a place in the finals.

May 1st 2008 Noize wins the D&BA Mix comp, he wins £1000, Kam DJ Equipment, Playing at a major D&BA event and being signed to the D&BA agency.

Now in Spring 2008, Noize is making big waves in the scene as a skilled upcoming DJ, playing sets up and down the country every weekend with alot of live experience under his belt.
