How it all started? - My earliest memorys for a dance scene was attending the Vibealite when it was held at Venue44 in Mansfield about 9 years back, allthought i have allways loved different types of music from rock to trance, The hardhouse scene has allways been special to me and a BIG passion since it all started about 6 years back, and what a passion it has become!!

When i started clubbing I was going all over the country to insomniacz, storm, poly's, tidy weekenders, you name it i have probably been there! i love clubbing and allways will! then i took it all one step further and i bought my first pair of decks going through bad times! whenever i felt like down i just jumped on my decks and lost myself in the music and it helped me forget! before i knew it 5 or 6 hours would of passed and before i knew it i was learning to mix properly constantly wanting to be as good as the people i looked upto every week!

Then months went by and then I met Jonni who i briefly knew before but was
never introduced to properly, Yet i could not belive he shared the same
passion as me with hardhouse! He is now one of my very close freinds and makes up the other half of 2HappyDJ's and a few months later, with the help of Jonni,! my girlfreind (kayla) for the support! and Jay (for the donations of vinyl) and Damo for being one hell of a bro! My sister Ruth and her boyfreind Edgar and everyone else who knows me and wished me the best!

With the help of all these people...................

The journey of the 2HappyDJs began!

I cant believe how everything has come together so perfectly and so well timed!

Thankyou to you all! Vinylmat x
