Spliffy B on Psychedelic Chilli Explosion 1st release Jalapeno EP

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 Acid House & Techno, Gabber, Hardcore & Jungle.

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.  However he was regularly promoting & mixing on radio both online as well as FM & producing and releasing tracks.

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 where he played Acid Techno

After 2015 Spliffy B made a slow shift to focusing more on Online radio due to supporting his late wife ongoing health situation.  Spliffy B 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 B 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 20 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.

This mix begins by climbing relentlessly into the night sky, the lights on the ground growing farther and farther away, until it reaches cruising velocity. Once above the clouds, it hurtles through patches of flickering moonbeams, starlight, and cosmic rays, adjusting altitude to atmospheric conditions. Clouds dissipate while it zooms out over open water, before disappearing over the horizon just as the glow of the first hint of sunrise becomes visible.

*** TROOPER ***

DJ Trooper is an electric force to be reckoned with. His broad musical expertise spanning three decades comes alive in his mixes, bringing the party vibes alive. Never failing to smash the techno and old skool, it’s rave time when Trooper’s in the house.
Trooper has contributed to the legacy of the London party circuit, playing at club nights such as Smash Techno, Stay Up Forever 100, Stay Up Forever after parties, Philanthropy, Braingravy and Lucid, and alongside DJs such Chris Liberator, Aaron Liberator, DDR, Geezer, Gizelle Rebel Yelle, Rachel Rackitt, Sterling Moss, Birinight, DJ Ant, Jerome Hill, Thermobee, Tassid, A.P, OB1, Austin Corrosive and many more.

On to top all of this, Trooper has recently returned to the studio, writing tracks with DDR, Steve Mills and The Geezer. His tracks have been released on the legendary ‘Hazchem’ label, Abusive 303, Project 303 and Project 909 with more tracks ready to go. Keep your ear to the dance floor and listen out for Trooper’s unique energy and sounds.

Over the past 10 years, Trooper has gone from raver on the dance floor to playing on many sound systems including Freebase, E1S, Malfaiteurs, Manik, Storm, Hackney Sounds and plays regularly on the Stinky Pink, Hub and Krysis rigs as resident DJ storming the dance floor with his own take on Acid Techno, also enjoying pushing the speakers to the limits on various rigs at Frenchtek dropping the beats that captured his heart all those years ago. But with Trooper’s personal history of dance music and broad musical knowledge, you can also hear him playing a broad spectrum of sounds such as Old Skool 91/92 Rave, Hardcore, Jungle, Drum & Bass, Progressive House, Acid House, Breakbeat and Electro.

But Trooper’s journey with dance music began in 1991 when he was just 16 years of age and was taken out by some older mates to legendary raves such as Elevation, Dance 91, Raindance, Fantazia, Yikes and Interdance, as well as Spiral Tribal and Bedlam sound system parties on the underground free party scene.

The next year, he was introduced to mixing vinyl on the 1210’s by DJ SDR, owner of Shoebox Records. From that point, there was no turning back.

In 1994, Trooper started getting involved with the local music scene and began working at Ruffhouse Records in Slough, who ran Menace sound system.

Always up for a party, he was given the title nickname ‘Trooper’. He was always the last man standing, shortly establishing his turntable skills as ‘DJ Trooper’ on the underground party circuit, playing Jungle and Drum & Bass at parties in London and the South East.

Music House in Holloway Road, London, played a big part in Trooper’s life. Top Drum & Bass DJ’s went there regularly to cut their latest tracks onto dub plate fresh for the weekend raves. Trooper got involved distributing the ‘Ravescene’ magazine and writing party reviews for raves such as Telepathy, AWOL, Roast, Innersense and Jungle Fever.

Trooper and fellow music comrade, DJ SDR, started the record label ‘Freestyle Flava’ in 1996, experimenting with different styles and beats in the studio under the guise ‘Point 2’. They produced some rockers including ‘Wait 1 Minute’, which was featured on Tony de Vit’s ‘Live in Tokyo’ album. In the studio, they wrote Trip Hop and Broken Beats inspired by Ninja Tune club nights at the legendary Blue Note in Hoxton, London.

After taking a few years out at the end of the 90’s, Trooper returned to the dance floor in the new millennium and got involved with the Hard House scene. The hard beats and vibes reignited the fire in his rave heart, but something was definitely missing until he discovered the underground London squat party Techno scene and from that point it was full steam ahead.

So keep your ear to the dance floor and listen out for Trooper’s unique energy and sounds.
