Gareth Doherty
27, Welsh, Slightly confused by just about everything!
Wouldn't want to offend anyone by describing what I used to do to records as DJ'ing! But been into the party scene since I was well young...in fact now I come to think of it over a decade - stumbled onto a traveller "rave" with my mates when I was about 13/14 and have been drawn like a moth to a candle flame by the whole scene ever since.
Primarily I like hardcore in most of its incarnations (usually the harder and nastioer and darker the better)though from what Ive heard of it recently I'm feeling that it sounds a bit TOO much like Hard house. And its been a long time since I went to a Hardcoreparty http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley19.gif
But I was well into the first Logical, even had a go of mixing it ...along with the first two metal headz Albums, and the Breakbeat science. I have refined my musical ear now to fully appreciate the GLO stuff, and various other DnB ...Full Cycle, Ascendant Grooves etc etc...blah ...blah
But the big bumble beein my bonnet is visuals...I love doigital art, animations, web and flyer design (web ... when I get my arse in gear!) and the wierd and wonderful stuff you can do with photoshop1 Once I got my studio am looking forward to the day when I get my hands on some VJ'ing software like Oozic. I'll try my hand at some music production once I've finished tweaking my Visual system...or I might be lying to justify my presence on such a knowledgeable site! Im also involved a few others acting as Missionaries bringing intelligent DnB to the Deep Wild SouthWest (Civilisation seems to stop just south of Bristol!)
I also like braless girls jumping around in front of me, this is what first enticed me back to the DnB nights here in Plymouth....there is an awful lot of them to jump around http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley18.gif :smiley2:
I like crumpets, blowjobs, waking up to findany bird sat on my cock...please God if your out there make her nice tomorrow....full english breakfasts especially with crumpet for after http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley14.gif
And Im an emoticon fetishist with a terminal case of stenographic diahorrhea!!!!
Still reading .....I'd have given up by now...http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley8.gifEdited by: Loki

ok here goes, i hope you guys are really bored cos this will be a long one, more like an autobiography ive got a pizza and a beer so it should keep me going:smiley1:
ok well when i was a youngster from te age of 12 i lived in London, went to a crazy school in Pimlico, called pimlico school of music, never actually did any music there but that was the name, it was a state school and most the peeps there came overthe bridge from places like Stokwell, Vauxhall, Brixton, Oval, so you can imaging, proper charecters there, this is where i discovered hip hop, maybe even slightly earlier, but i suppose the scene was kinda influential, NWA & Public Enemy where the crew, then obviously there was silver bullet, and others i cant even remember, remember this cos i will bring it up again later, any way it was the days when we started to lose the plott, robbing, vandalysm, even smoking dope, seriously, i smoked my first joint at the age of 11 (nicked it from my dad!) so my parentsw realised me and my brother were turning into tearaways at a young age, and being lucky they were in the position to decide to get us out of the street, and moved us to France, we moved to some pu**y boy litle village, and to be honest it started to bring us back down to earth, it doesnt mean we stopped doing crazy sh*t cos we didnt, f**ked around with , dealing, guns, gypsies, it was fun, infact we got a really bad name being english, but anyway, my education was so f**ked i ended up finishing school at 14, ok i hadnt yet dabled in dealing and guns and sh*t but it wasnt long after, im not sure why but we got into heavy drugs at a really young age, by the time i was 15 i had already done e's, coke, speed, mescaline, acid and dope. i know pretty f**ked up, but that was the way it was, so anyway, believe me sh*t was crazy, my best friend in france is a gypsie, hes cool as f**k, if he knew how to use a pc he would surely say hello, but thats a bit too advanced for him, lol, any way, believe it or not my life got a bit too crazy in france and at the age of 18 i decided to move back to the UK, this is the second transition period, but this time for the good, i had seen a lot of crazy sh*t, a lot of friends in big trouble, a lot of my friends were much older than me, some by 20 years,so i sold my motorbike and moved back, it was the second biggest shock of my life after the first time i moved country, but this time i had sh*t loads to think about, what i wanted out of life, who i waned to be, and from looking at my friends i realised i didnt want to be like them, drug dealing wasnt the way forward, neither was being cool and being noticed, nor causing trouble, so i decided to follow my second love of life which is MUSIC, so with the money from my motor bike i bought a pair of soundlab (sh*tty crappy decks) and that was the beggining of a new era, this is when i transformed from a crazy mother f**ker to a peace and unity music lover, i think from all the drugs i have done it turned me very internal, which was a good thing in i have a better understanding about life, but maybe stopped me from dj'ing out being reeally paranoid, so one thing led to the next, still taking loads of drugs and dj'ong loads at partys and sh*t thye next step was surely producing, all i knew was there were two paths for me, drug dealing or music, and music is what i chose (im proud of that), some thing i should have mentioned earlier is coming from London we were very upto date with the music scene thanks to pirate radio and had followed the whole rave era, even though the french still couldnt get there heads around abba, but anyway, music producing was what i wanted to get into, i was living in camden town at the timeand i got a pc, now i will admit, i couldnt get into my pc for years even though i wanted to make music, i kept on breaking it and generally it took me sometime to get into it, so now living in High Wycombe, the place i was born i decided a city and guilds in audio engineering was on the cards, now at the time i was proper dark d'n'b head, gone through the metalheadz era and was coming out of it i suppose, just starting to get into the GLO stuff, anyway i met a guy who is now a very good friend of mine called Gerald, at the time he told me that he knew a lot of guys from GLO and i though yeah yeah, here we go another bulsh*ter, but he always said any time that i want to go to a GLO gig that i would be on the guest list, so one day i decided to take him up on the offer and found out that not only was he wll in with GLO that MC conrad is his best mate, so started a new era, i have to say im a lucky f**ker, when im into something i always seem to meet the right guys, and once again i did, through gerald i met a lot of guys from GLO which took me to a new level with the d'n'b scene,, so since then i started a diploma in audio engineering at the schol of audio enginnering SAE in London, never actually finished it cos i decided the money we were spending there i could spend on studio equiptment, which i did,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, to be continued,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, hehehehe
