As a DJ SpliffyB is a DJ/Producer who plays a very eclectic range of music from blues to Gabber.  He is known for playing gems that are lesser known as well as extremely well established tracks.

24 years since Spliffy Bs 1st gig as promoter and Dj on 30^th September 2024.  He is proud of what he has achieved over that time.  

Spliffy has had several releases, most notably Stay Up Forever Kickstarter EP1, Deep Down Dirty releases, Planet Techno 11 in 2017 which was a vinyl release where Biri & The Geezer remixed 2 of his tracks and engineered by Sterling Moss.  Spliffy has also had releases on Wikid Bones Records, Total Loss records which got into the top 2 on 909London charts.  He has also had a release on the now defunct Dutch Trance Records.

Clips from Planet Techno 11:

He started playing free parties when he was at Southampton Institute around Dorset & Hampshire such as Hursley Fields.  He didn’t have his own turntables at that stage so was reliant on using friends decks.   He learnt a DJ set inside out which I played at any events I played.  As his skills developed he played different sets for each gig.  From his first DJ set he was promoting events as well as DJing.  He also started dabbling with production.

During this time he started doing shoutcast streams with multiple DJs.  He used the Institutes online connection as he didn’t have one in his Halls of residence room.  There were a number of crews doing the same for a couple of years before.  

By 2002 he was playing was playing both clubs and free parties.  He was playing a lot of Gabber, Hardcore, Jungle & Techno.

Spliffy B moved back to Weymouth in 2003.  He only played a few events in Dorset, he played raves in different parts of Dorset and clubs around the country, however mostly in Somerset and across the South West.

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.

In 2010 Spliffy B played 3 sets in an event in Peppermill, Heerlen, Netherlands.  He has also played in Belgium, Germany

He has also been ‘Special guest’ at the highly regarded Smash Techno (November 2013), Club 414,

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.  He has played on many online radio events/stations across Europe, America & Asia such as Germanys TNZN, Icelands Reykjavik Underground and more.

 

Spliffy B on TNZN:

 

 

In 2017 from an idea that was spawned from his late wife to do a techno fundraver.  Wayeta, Ronnie Grafter and Spliffy hosted the 1st Sick Beatz Fundraver raising money and awareness of MS Society.  This is now an annual event which is highly supported in November.

Over the years as well as playing clubs, festivals and free parties he has been very active on the online radio circuit.  Over the past 15 years it hasn’t been uncommon for him to be playing 3, 4 or even 5 shows.  At times it has been as high as 15 in a week!

Currently Spliffy B has residencies for Reykjavik Undergound & Beyond Control with doing regular DJ sets most notably on Open Source.  Spliffy B also promotes events currently Acid Assault which covers all areas of Acid, and Rebellion Techno covering various areas of Techno, Cybercore covering all areas of Hardcore & Gabber, Lucid covering oldskool, Blues shows and more.
