About me:

I am a long-haired DJ with a passion for music written before 1750 or after 1960.

I started life in New York, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, in a building owned by legendary jazz musician Duke Ellington. My parents had the forsight to predict the massive rent increases that were to come, and whisked me away to London (wherupon a man named Saul Bellow moved into our old apartment and promptly won both the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Pulitzer Prize. Makes me feel like an underachiever).

In London I spent my most of my time breaking my limbs and setting fire to things. I attended Langley Park Boys' School, and received sufficient schooling to send me Northwards to Glasgow University, which I chose principally as it offered a four year degree rather than the meagre three years English universities could muster. In hindsight I miscalculated threefold, but so be it.

I studied Music, Theatre Studies, English Literature, Philosophy, German, and Co-Eds; this latter fact led to a happy marital union with Marie. After ten years, the University decided I had learned enough, and booted me out with a Master of Arts.

Too lazy to get a real job during my student days, I started DJing under the pseudonym DJ Toast. This occupation continues to fund my addiction to products made by Apple and Zildjian.

That's about it.
