Was active as a live dj from very late 1970's to 2017, now do only radio apart from very occasional onstage appearances. Dabbled in radio first on piped cable station in Basildon and later on FM pirate radio in Essex plus a stint at Starpoint Radio (internet /satellite) before joining Stomp.     One of the original Margate soul weekender dj's, also a fixture at the biannual Caister soul weekenders from 2003 to 2017. Although I like a lot of musical genres including soul, funk, blues, jazz, disco, gospel, rock'n'roll and old school rhythm & blues I also enjoy the more soulful and jazzy bits of house music and some of the neo soul. Having said all that, I do get a bit picky about newer stuff! My main interest is in soul music from the 1960's and 1970's, particularly some of the more obscure and underplayed tunes from the 1970's and that's what my show is built around.

Been around for years!! Initially playing Soul music back in the 80’s but then moved on to playing an extremely varied mix of music, including pop, rock, party, boy band!!, in a number of venues across London & the South East. Went back to playing the music I love in around 2012. Joined Stomp in 2015 presenting the Monday Night Lock In where the music policy is again varied, but tending to stick to soul & disco music from the 70’s & 80’s. Occasionally some house, hip hop and new releases, and very occasionally completely random selections from my past!!……….

A bit about you and the music your will play in your Show  I’ve been DJing for over 25 years as a founder member of The South of the River Crew promoting a number of local gigs in & around our area. I have DJ’s at a number of weekenders & alldayers over the years including in the old days Caister, SVO, Clacton weekender, East Village, Hoxton Bar & Grill, Ibiza Soul Week, Olbys Soul Café  & Margate Soul Festival I’ve been radio presenting for over 10 years & been with Stomp for about 6 years. I play a cross section with no age barrier, but more contemporary than old & more jazz influenced left of centre style.

A two hour trip through all things good (hopefully)

Stepping Out strolls through all the genres that make up our scene & occasionally out of our comfort zone. From Jazz funk to hip hop & house. Soul in all its forms through to reggae, ska, mod & beyond plus the odd curve ball or two!

As a young teenager i listened to many pirate radio stations brought up on a diet of Soul and Soulful & Classic House.

The Fat Trick (3 songs based on a topic or artist 1 played in each hour) Four After 4 (more music no chat) Reggae Round Up – (3 Reggae tracks back to back to back) Mummy’s Tunes (Old timers trackers) As a presenter I have not been afraid to play what I want to play – within the parameters of it being based on the thread of soul and as a former Radio London Soul Night Out & Kiss 100FM Presenter/DJ – I bring a balanced amount of experience which is reflected in the SOUNDS OF FATNESS moniker! When I play, I want people to just enjoy the music and not follow the crowd like sheep – playing outside of the box. As a presenter I prefer talking over mixing which is a staple of what to expect when seeing me when I am playing out. I try ensure that I play an eclectic selection of Soul, Reggae, Slow, Old & Dance tunes all mixed in to take you around the world of a musical selection.

Heavy Soul was formed by a coming together of like minded souls, who share a passion for playing and sharing quality soul, jazz & funk and everything in between.
