The name Flux is derived from the Latin word Fluxus which means `to flow`.
Flux has been touring since 1993 in all six continents, spreading the drum and bass sound to his fans worldwide. He has performed to crowds of up to 40,000 at events and festivals in countries such as; Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Brazil, U.S.A, Tasmania, South Africa, Singapore, Israel and many countries in Europe
MC Flux is a pioneer of the Drum and Bass scene being one of the first ever professional mc`s to touch the mic in this type of music. He has been there from the beginning and is one of the most experienced and professional MC`s on the circuit. It is hard to categorize Flux`s style, his flow is one of the most unique to come upon the scene. He offers the powers of an exceptional host, but also has the energy and the rolling stamina of a professional crowd hype MC. Not forgetting that his voice is one of the most distinguishing voices in the drum and bass scene. Flux has always believed that in a rave the performance should always be 75% DJ and 25% MC orientated. Without the music there wouldn`t be an MC. The MC is there to compliment the music not the other way around. This is one reason why he is such a good performer as he works alongside the music, the DJ and his mixes to provide an exceptional show.
As we all know Flux is a Veteran in this industry. He has always kept up with the development of the music and evolved his style accordingly. In 1985 Flux was inspired by reggae and at just eighteen, he set up his own reggae sound system called `Young Senator`. This sound system won him the title of Youth Champion of the Reggae Young Sounds Competition. This was a massive achievement for anyone at the time and it inspired him to push his musical career further.
His first experience as a crowd controller happened at Slammers in Kent during the early 90`s. This was where he picked up the microphone over the set of legendary Jumping Jack Frost. This lead him to get booked at a very famous club called Sterns in Worthing (in-ter-dance), he saw this as his first big break. At Sterns he graced the mic over DJ`s Dr S Gachet and Pig Bag every week for 2 years and he also performed with Micky Finn, Fabio, Jumping Jack Frost and Grooverider to name a few.
While he was working for Dance 92 and 93, he was spotted by the world-famous house DJ John Digweed. John Digweed then booked him for nights such as Storm and Unity @ Hastings Pier. At this time Jungle had not even developed and there wasn`t any specific genre for this type of music. It was just played by innovated DJ`s in the House rooms at clubs.
In 1992, Flux was signed by Rob Playford as a PA artist for the Moving Shadow label and around the same time he discovered DJ Bailey who made him a resident at club Extreme. Flux was soon touring the world, bringing his UK vibe to Drum and Bass followers across the globe. He recalls touring North America in the late 90`s for two weeks with DJ Phantasy spending more time in the air than on the ground.
He has been apart of the Metalheadz family for the past decade. During his time as resident MC on the agency he done a Radio 1 Tour called Radio 1 in the Jungle with Kemistry and Storm. He also participated in the Groove connections tour with Fabio & Grooverider.
By 1995 he was seen as one of the most renowned MC`s in dnb. 1995 was the year he became resident at the world-famous Voodoo Magic at Equinox. This was a huge achievement for any artist at the time and was the place where the infamous Andy C made his name. That year he also gained his residency at The Laser Drome, Peckham in London. This heightened his career even more; playing weekly in London the home of Drum and Bass.
He was introduced into the Unique Artist Agency which was the best DJ/MC agency in the world. They snapped at the chance to have him on their books. Unique Artist`s had most of the A list artists in dnb at the time (Hype, Andy C, Mampi swift and Zinc to name a few). These achievements lead to regular appearances for him at raves such as Innovation, Desire, Dreamscape, World Dance, Innocence and Helter Skelter.
In 1996 Flux and the Inta-Natty boys (Pete Nice, Face, Killer, Inch, Juice, Danny B, Grooverider, Bailey and Fabio), set up their own clothing company. This was branded Inta-Natty.
Any true junglist will be familiar with his unmistakable flow and artistic charisma. Flux has held many residencies with places such as; Ram Records, Moondance, but when asked where, he informed us that there are to many to mention.
Flux climbed the ladder to the top and became a professional MC 12 years ago now. Since then he has been playing week in week out all over the u.k and the world.
Flux loves the music and has always wanted to push the drum and bass sound into new boundaries. He looks to the future and likes to discover talented up and coming DJ`s and MC`s to push drum and bass forward. Look at DJ Bailey as an example of one of Flux`s finds.
