he da man wid da beard (of sorts)
It all kicked off for Beardo in the mid-eighties, when Hip-Hop and Electro first began to get airtime on Mike Allen's Capital show. He was hooked. Then the Rave scene broke with hectic weekends spent following convoys and dancing ‘til dawn.
He
dabbled with DJ’ing at the time, playing house parties and small events
, but instead chose to focus on writing music
(Electro, Techno, Trip-Hop).
He found though his real forte was with
design and production.
He has successfully worked in the computer graphics industry for the last 12
years designing animations, videos and still graphics for such illustrious clients
as Sony, BT, Guinness and Gillette.
He now runs his own computer graphics company, Pangolin Productions Ltd.
Beardo's first direct involvement with the club scene came with Decompression, a Hertfordshire based Techno club during the mid to late 90’s, where he got involved on the security side of things (he’s an avid martial artist!) and designing and running live video and computer graphics sequences in the chill-out rooms. When Decompression finally disbanded he joined Kid Ballistics in creating Portable Deluxe.
Beardo
now DJ’s once more playing everything from Breakbeat and Drum&Bass
to House when in a club environment or a wonderfully eclectic selection of funky
tunes when playing in more relaxed surroundings.
He is currently a resident at The Monday Club and Sundae Smoothie and
is a member of The Unwise Monkeys.
