In 2004 Spliffy B amongst other events he was promoting he promoted DNA with DJ Slimz. DNA was a hard house and drum n bass event based in the Firestation in Dorchester, Dorset.

Between 2008 and 2011 due to personal reasons he only played a few sets, one of which was on Weymouth Beach.

After 2015 Spliffy B made a slow shift to focusing more on Online radio due to supporting his late wife ongoing health situation.  Spliffy at the moment is completely Online radio, but hopes to venture back into live environments moving forwards.
