DJ Skywalker
 Skywalker has always been into electronic music. By 1986, at the age of 8 he was listening to US house music, and was already annoying his neighbours. As house inevitably moved into hardcore around 1990, Skywalker followed; throughout secondary school he was known simply as "Hardcore". During college in 1994, Skywalker began to produce hardcore mix tapes for friends, and in 1996 began producing his own music. During 1996 to 2000 he played in venues around Bournemouth, UK, as part of a student union, and in 2001 released his first vinyl single on Nu Underground Recordings. This was the now infamous, and considerably remixed, "Killerwhale", credited with being the first breakbeat hardcore tune released in the new 'old-skool' style. To date, Skywalker has released four tunes on vinyl, with another six due out in the first half of 2004, and now appears at old skool and breakbeat hardcore events around the country.
Skywalkers show, from 7pm to 8.30pm is always a little bit different. Everything breakbeat, from around '92 to the present day is played, and in the past six months listeners have been treated with the random phone call segment "Call-A-DJ", a rundown of the top 10 tunes of the week, records being smashed against walls (with video), and the weekly 15 minutes of madness from 8.15 which really has to be seen to be explained. Check out his off-the-wall show that is broadcast weekly, part of Wednesday Wickedness, live from 7pm on www.breakpirates.com. |
