Born in Aberdeen and grew-up in Kirkcaldy, Scotland. Worked at Select-a-Disc record shop in Nottingham, England, sourcing obscure House music records that he later deejayed at local The Garage club in the 1980s.
Formed the Submission record label and under a variety of names released some of the first UK House material. In 1987 he was invited to join at the decks of The Haçienda in Manchester, where he played for a decade.
Continues to DJ all around the world and also remixes for many artists.
