MR .C |
• biography • |
Mr.C is one of Britains most innovative d.j.'s. Never happy with
just following the trends of mainstream dance music, this London born
d.j.'s low boredom threshold keeps him on the edge of tomorrows sound.
He started his career back in 1985 as a rapper and mc. working with
Jasper and Jazzy M on L.W.R pirate radio supplying Jingles and mc’ing
at gigs.This led to Mr.C becoming a sought after mc. working at parties
like "Raw" at Y.M.C.A
in Tottenham Court Road
with Dave Dorrell and the "Boiler House" parties through The
Camden Palace where he started working with his turntable mentors Colin
Faver and Evil Eddi Richards in 1986. In 1987 he recorded his first
house record with Eddie Richards under the name "Mister-e" on
Evil Ed's Baad imprint and at this point decided that becoming a d.j.
would increase his knowledge and feel for the music that he loved and
would there for help with future productions.
He went on to be resident d.j.
at the infamous "R.I.P" parties at Clink Street; London Bridge
in '88 and the "Base" parties at the dungeons in Lea Bridge
Road in '89 - the parties that were to become the torchlight for the
Acid house movement. It was in '89 that Paul Oakenfold introduced Mr.C
to the Shamen when he went on to record "Progen" (Move any
Mountain) which was released later that year.
In 1990 Mr.C resided at "Mangled" at the Barn in
Braintree, Essex becoming inspiration to regular patrons "The
Prodigy" and "N-Joy". This was also when he started
recording again using pseudonyms "The Bass Bureau" and
"Nu Jacks".
1991 saw the re-release of (Progen 91) which elevated Mr.C and The
Shamen to the number 4 slot in the U.K. Pop charts. This was the year
that saw the start of Mr.C's remix
career reworking "Possible Worlds" (his first Shamen remix
after joining as a full band member), "Eye's" by Midi Rain,
"Big City" by Trevor Fung and "The Pendolino" by
Beautyon. '91 was also the year he started organising and promoting the
"Release" parties with Nathan Coles of Wiggle and Get Fucked
fame. |
