I left City Rockers with a plan to start out on my own. I was offered a consultant A&R job at London Records and later set up City Rockers with the same guy from London. How did you start working in the music industry? I did so many but I guess the special ones were meeting and interviewing KRS-One, Chuck D, India (from Masters At Work), Wyclef Jean, Photek and Mathiew Kassovitz, not forgetting the time I interviewed Gonzo from The Muppets. Yes, before working at record labels and djing I was a music journalist, I was the Assistant Editor and Music Editor at Dazed and Confused magazine between '93 and '96 and freelanced for other publications. Has music always been a part of your life? I then discovered house, hardcore and jungle whilst at college in '89. I bought Technics 1210s and a Numark 1775 mixer when I was 14, but I couldn't mix and didn't realise there was a career in djing until much later. A proper labour of love, all tracks have been roadtested for inclusion by Damian in the past six months. Quite incredible! Damian is currently preparing the hotly anticpiated ‘Rebel Futurism Session 2’ for release in February 2005. It broke all records with 10000 people from around the world downloading the album in just one month. Damian also hooked up with Families and released the fourth in their series of free legal download mixes () in September 2004. It even picked up a review in Rolling Stone magazine in the States. ‘Rebel Futurism Session One’ came out to great critical acclaim. In early 2004 Damian released his first ever DJ mix album. This is a Rebel sound designed for lovers of late night madness, future dance floor classics and cutting edge new ideas. Best described as dirty and deep, this is electro house and much more besides. He is one of a small number of DJ’s delivering a fresh sonic surge of forward thinking music and new dancefloor perspectives. Time to bury the has-beens that have gripped the dance world.
