Mosus had a great childhood,growing up in dunedin with an eclectic musical background, his mother a punk guitarist and father an avid vinyl collector introduced him to the futurist sounds of brian eno, david bowie, jimi hendrix, devo, sexpistols, bob marley and everything in between. Mosus was gripped by the vinyl bug and at the tender age of 12 his father gave him his first belt driven turntable complete with built in speaker and cabinet. From then Mosus hustled his hard earned cash on hiphop records and at 15 got his first set of technics 1200 turntables and a mixer. He gained a reputation as a skooled up hiphop dj until he came across some jungle records in a second hand record bin - from this point on Mosus carved out a name for himself on student radio stations in the South Island of New Zealand where he was brought up.
>These early experiences on the radio earnt him bookings at events across NZ - it was these small parties which quickly got him noticed and it wasn't long before a young Mosus was in demand from top promoters across the country. As the years went by Mosus continued to push the sounds of dnb with regular radio shows, dnb club nights and tours across NZ and Australia. Touring with the likes of Shy fx, Bailey, Dillinja & Lemon d,Krust, Die and Bryan G as well as djing alongside every international name to come to NZ it wasn't long b4 Mosus felt it was time to leave NZ.
>In 2003, with an invaluable chunk of experience under his belt, Mosus made the move to London where he teamed up with Bryan G from vrecordings - one of the most respected drum & bass djs and labels. Mosus' responsibility within this label has increased rapidly, taking on a full time position and solidifying his position in the dnb industry.
>Currently Mosus hosts the Chronic Records radio show on Origin fm 952 [ a weekly show on monday night's underground Drum & Bass station ] where he has a massive fan base and is one of the stations hottest new djs. He also has monthly shows on Pyrotechnic radio, Life fm as well as producing Bryan G's weekly "Sound of Movement radio show" on Ministry of Sound internet radio, which has made him available for the odd guest show on the station.
>Already in 2005 Mosus has had 3 12inch vinyl releases on Subtronix, with future releases forthcoming on Trace's dsc14. With a host of A list djs spinning Mosus' material his career has been boosted to new levels with a highly sought after residency at the legendary Thursday night Bar Rumba session at the premier club Movement,as a part of the new Producers night. Djing alongside other well known new artists such as Utah Jazz, Raf Illogic, Breakage etc.
