Buying his first set of decks at thirteen for £100 from 'Trade It' gave Clipz the outlet he was looking for. For the last two years he had been craving to be part of the rave scene of the early 90s in London. Friends had been sending him tapes down of pirate shows from stations like Don FM and Weekend Rush and he yearned to be part of the music. He was given a load of old rave records with the decks he bought and for the next three years Clipz did little else but shut himself in his room and practice mixing.
