Hi, :Hi there: I've been lurking around this forum for quite a while now, only just got round to joining:o I can also be found over on the Mastermix forum, but please don't hold that against me :rolleyes: :p
I am based in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Yup, a Cheshire Cat, you could say!
My 'proper' full time job is as an ICT/AV technician in a local independant school. I've been a part-time DJ for about 20yrs now.
I've more recently all but packed in the mobile work and do a couple of nights a month at a local independent nightclub (discotheque type).
Back when I started out I was lucky enough to become friends with a couple of local pro (and I mean seriously pro) DJ's who took me under the probervial wing, so I had a good start!
I still have all the mobile gear (much replaced and updated since starting!), in mid 90's I believe I had the best mobile show in the area.
I'm something of a perfectionist when it comes to gear, I guess that's the technical background.
The system is basically a 2Kw bia-amped sound rig, now driven from a laptop, the Denons are long since retired. Lighting is a goal-post rig with the possibilty of just switched effects & PAR cans, but I can now have a complete DMX driven show (LED PARcans:thumbs_up: ).
As a DJ I'm your good 'ole party/personality DJ, can't really mix, just have fun trying:D
I'll bore you no longer:Sleeping:
:thanks: for reading!
