2)When did you 1^st start to get into DnB?

When I was 14 or 15, I heard my first Grooverider tape @ Fusion, Sterns, and was hooked til about 98. My tastes changed when the liquid started coming through and got into my hip hop. It wasn’t until my cousin bought up a Andy C tape in 2000 that I found my re-born faith in DnB.

3) When did you start  producing DnB?

I was producing Hip Hop with Sayber back in 2000-01 (I think!) and when I was introduced to DnB again, it only seemed natural to resume the production with DnB, Bad Ace sat down, showed me the ins-an-outs of Fruity4 and FLStudio, ive been toying recently and feel ive the potential to make an artillery of Killer tunes!

4) Who are your musical influences?

DJ-wise first an foremost the untouchable Andrew Clark, with his faultless mixing and trend-setting label, how can you not worship the guy! Other DJs are Pendulum,   Mampi Swift  &  Sub-Focus with there tight mixing and there own tunes in the mix.

Other Musical influences are Rock & Metal which ive been into since I can remember -  System Of a Down, Foo Fighters, & Funeral for a Friend new albums are getting heavy play from me at the moment.

5) Where did your name originate from?

Ive had numerous names since I starting out, many too embarrassing to mention or found out that name was taken already, Ive always been a bit reckless crossing roads, and I thought Jay-Walker. Was fitting.

6) Where are you from?

Ive lived in the south of England all my life, predominately Bordon, Hampshire where I met Bad Ace & Sayber, but ive been living in Aldershot for the past 2 years or so, where I met the Bad Man Reapa!

7) Describe your music in 3 words

Aggressive, Manical, Noise! lol

8) Which producers do you feel are bringing the most to DnB at this moment in time?

Production-wise all-day, every-day Bad Ace Inc, ive followed his rise from his early tunes, and my jaw drops every time I hear one of his tunes. With an unparallel level of production which some released artist blatently fail to pick up on,  I can hardly wait for he comes up with next!

Other production- props to Diode, GPK, Spor, Chase & Status & Noisia for setting a new era in Drum & Bass.

9) How long have You been djing for?

10 years

10) How did you get into mixing?

I got my first DnB record down in Portsmouths Fusion records, It was Ganja 001 – You must think first –DJ Hype, I wore it out with a shitty needle on my first set of decks – one didn’t even have a pitch on it, and the other was an early Technics deck with a start-up speed of about 10 seconds! The mixers was some industrial-looking X-faderless hunk of metal, propped up with two bits off  brick,  coz the wires went in underneath the mixer. A friends neighbour sold me 2x 1210’s and a Soundlab mixer for £250 quid and its been all good since then.
