I think it all started with me listening to Pete Tong's radio show and recording to tape some of the tracks he played back in the late 80's, I think I brought my first Technics 1210 when I was 15 which was back in 1989!!! so nearly 20 years ago and before that I was making mixed tapes using a couple of tape decks and a pause button dropping in and out different tracks, which is a world apart from todays djing with Technics SLDZ or Pioneer CDJ1000's with SD cards and playing sets straight from a laptop using MP3's etc, still don't have to lug boxes of records about anymore which is a bonus. I started out with the early house and then the rave scene from 90 to 94 until rave music split into various other genres, then followed the house scene once again until today. Back then it was only called "house music" there was no "Funky", "Electro", "Progressive" etc etc like there is today. So I could say my style now is Funky Dirty Techy Electro House with some classics dropped in. I've played at various clubs and bars around Bournemouth, Poole and the south coast over the years from intimate small venues to large 2000+ capacity clubs and a load of private functions too, proper house parties included, when you could get away with it back in the day. I will take DJ bookings from all over the world, whether it be a large or small crowd, I am available for guest dj slots and regular residencies in venues where the main music fits to what I play be it funky house, electro house, tech house, soulfull house or progressive house. What I play on the night obviously depends where the booking is for. E-mail bookings@djmarkhawkins.com
