As far as
music goes DJ Slimzee was influenced from
an early age by people such as Michael Jackson,
Madonna,George Michael,Eddy Grant and bands
like Duran Duran and Squeeze. As for Radio
Stations it has to be Kool, Deflection, Weekend
Rush, Index and Touchdown FM with DJ Younghead,
Pugwash (for his heavy tunes) Trace (4 his
mixing) and LT Stitch (Old School Don) Plus
MC's Fearless, X2, Rhyme Time, Shabba, Skibba,
Ragga Twins and Moose
DJ Slimzee started mixing Hardcore in 1992,
the first Hardcore record he bought was was
shine eye by the Ragga Twins (Shut up and
dance for all the Anoraks Reading) and from
then on the Record buying drug had started.
The shops that i used back in thoses days
(92/93) were Total Music, Pauls 4 Music, Unity
and Blackmarket. His Pirate career started
in 1993 on Fusion FM mixing early Jungle and
although it was'nt a big station he knew that
i wanted to do this for a living.
DJ Slimzee started on Rinse FM on Carnival
day in 1995 under the DJ name Slimfast with
Beenie and Geeneus at the time we were broadcasting
on 91.8 fm. "We had DJs such as Trend,
Target Caspa and MCs such as Mega, Beenie,
Gemmi and Nitrate at this time i couldn't
have imagined how things would turn out! especially
cos i seemed to spend all my early radio life
either on a tower block or trying to catch
up with some sleep in the studio.Through 95-97
i played on other stations such as Pressure
and Chillin but always stuck with Rinse through
thick and thin. At these times i was doing
back2back shows with Caspa then later on with
Geeneus with MCs Mega, Shauny J, Viz, Excalibur
and Beenie. The station started getting bigger
and soon we had talented D+B boys such as
Maxwell D, Brown Bros (Plague and Paco) and
Riko etc. I also got my first real booking
(apart from house party) in late 95 at Sunnyisles
nightclub in Bow. After that the bookings
gradually got more frequent."
In about 97/98 DJ Slimzee decided to switch
to UK Garage and also decided on a name change,
Slimfast was out and Slimzee was in!! Rinse
was now on 100.3 and played UK Garage only
on Sundays. "My show was 3-5 then and
still is now. I had D.U.B and Paco MCing for
me in those days (Pre Pay as you Go) and trust
me when i say we used to butt it up. Then
Plague and Paco MC'd for me (s double p show)
for a while then just Plague on his own. This
was when PAUG was born! Major joined up with
us a couple of weeks after and we started
doing as much Radio work as we could. Between
me, Geeneus, Plague and Major Ace i think
we did every Station on FM"
"The first Pay as you go Cartel Booking
came in 1999 in Barking and after we smashed
it there our names started to get talked about
around town. By 2000 PAUG were starting to
get a good few Bookings around London/Essex
and this is when we decided to bring in Gods
Gift. Whilst we were doing our thing, LadiesHit
Squad (Target, Whiley and Maxwell) were also
getting a big name and because we shared similair
ideas and knew each other from back in the
days we joined forces to make P.A.U.G Cartel.
Through 2001 our name was getting Bigger and
Bigger resulting in some major Bookings. I
really noticed how big we were getting at
Sidewinders 2nd Birthday at the Santuary Milton
Keynes in April 2001. Then when we were asked
to hold our Birthday in conjunction with them
i knew big things were happening. It was around
this time that bookings for abroad started
coming in and we went overseas and represented
in the best way we knew how. By butting it
up!! and spreading the name as we went. Also
at that time we were in talks with Sony over
the signing of our 12in Champagne Dance which
as you know didnt do to bad! 2002 is now here
and with our newest member FlowDan we are
ready to take over the world! All i can say
is im very fortunate to be where i am and
i appriciate it 100%. We are working more
and even harder then ever and i continue to
cut as many Plates as i can HA HA!!! Big up
all my true friends...... DJ Slimzee Peace..........
