TURNING THE TABLES IN SCOTLAND

During my travels down south, I used each night I was DJing at as an opportunity to make as many connections within the scene as possible which for any up & coming DJ reading this is an essential tool in you getting places. At every gig, I would spend the night talking with anyone I thought could be useful in furthering my carrer and getting things off the ground in Scotland – I am in no doubts this was time well spent.

Back in Scotland, the first events I was involved in promotion wise were Street Knowledge and Jungle Park, which were two of the first Jungle events to be staged in Edinburgh the capital of Scotland, and it was here my earlier networking strted to come into play.

Jungle Park was staged at 9c Victoria Street, now the Liquid Room and the two shows I promoted featured DJ Ron, DJ Frenzic then Dazee and Mc Jakes. <See Flyers>

Street Knowledge, without doubt the better of the two events, was a co-promotion between KMC and myself and ran once a month at the venue in Edinburgh which is no longer. The first event saw us showcase a virtually unknown Roni Size alongside Mc Dynamite on the mic, making their debut appearance in Scotland. We then brought up DJ SS, Ned Ryder and followed that up with Doc Scott and Probe. There can be no question that Street Knowledge was the first sure sign that something might come of the Jungle scene north of the border.
