Inspired and excited by jungle / dnb in the 1990's - I remember a friend lending me a rave tape with scratching - samples over jungle. I started to mix and bought my first dnb record in 1999. Mixing into 20's and 30's, I fell in love with this genre in dances - to the physicality and community of mixing and music collecting over the years. Also streaming on Twitch using same name!
About me: I'm Nikocheck or Dj Okin (that's my name spelt backwards) I play at 8:30pm GMT / BST on Mondays.
I also play on ProperchicagoDNB twitch channel and I play for Teams Junglists and UBB (United by Breakbeat).
I play all sub-genres of DNB. I also occasionally play House and Garage.
Happy-go-lucky junglist since I heard that first rave set mixtape in 96' when on the school bus. (at that time it was Paradise Lost and Nirvana too.. basically always a fan of good music - I always have and always will share my headphones :))
Point of Interest:
Bought first tune in 1999 the Pulse - Bad Company
Bought first belt drive decks around the same time. Numark with Bluedog mixer pack
Never looked back mixing vinyl and then DVS into 20's and 30's
