He launched his weekly night "Moist" at the Gardening Club in London in 1991, inviting DJs like Larry Levan. Following this, he had a residency at London's Ministry of Sound, resulting in the mix album Late Night Sessions (1996). He released his debut electronic recording project as Locussolus in 2011 and received the Outstanding Contribution Award at the DJ Awards in Ibiza.
