Trout – Autobiography
My involvement in the music industry started about 6 years ago as I commenced DJing under the ‘Trout’ moniker, playing a wide range of styles centred around deep house, disco, funk and soul. A typical Trout session wasonce described as ‘a diversity of sounds from ‘80s soul to Brook Benton by way of good pop and funk from the future’.
I spin for fun, and am notorious for my pride in my lack of ability to mix! Did I say ability? – I meant need! This unpretentious approach to DJing has seen me spinning at such events as:
• Mr Scruff’s New Year’s Eve Party, Music box, Manchester
• Harter Street (Electriks), Manchester
• The Big Chill 2002/3/4&6, Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire
• Revolver, Melbourne, Australia
• The Medicine Bar, Custard Factory, Birmingham
• Phonic Hoop, The Enigma, Brighton
• Fidgit, Plan B, Brixton
• Fun Lovin’ Criminals After Show Party, Circle Club, Manchester
• Nish Nash Nosh (Electriks), Mint Lounge, Manchester
• Garden Festival, Zardar, Croatia 2006/7&8
• Omar @ Behind The Groove, Mint Lounge, Manchester
• Boogie People, Section 8, Melbourne, Australia
* Fifty7 Bar & Kitchen, Northern Quarter, Manchester
In addition to getting myself DJ bookings, I have also set up an agency to do the same for others.
BamBu Agency & Promotions was launched in February 2003 and the roster currently includes DJs from New York: Qool DJ Marv
(Friends & Family / Buttamiilk), Monk One (Friends & Family / Wax Poetics), and DJ Center (Music Lounge / Giant Step).
From the UK, Dom (Blood & Fire), Jonny Miller (Phuture Lounge), Lady Driver (Danielle Moore, Crazy P), Martin Dulson, The
Nutopians (Chibuku, Sankeys), Wai Wan (Earth Project).
