Ed Devane - mix for !kaboogie

Thatboytim's love affair with beats kicked off when Chicago and Detroit were ruling the show, leading to his exploration of the sounds of UR and Drexciya. By 2000, Tim was running his own parties, including the "No Way Back" nights, a firm statement of electro-funk in the face of the countless dire house nights in Belfast at the time.

Assisted by cracked software and a hire purchase computer, tim, agent foot and therarelowry built the "Takeover EP", which was rinsed by the likes of Two Lone Swordsmen, Laurent Garnier, Decal and Paula Temple.

Another four 12's followed, encompassing dub, booty, rave and electro. An album written with Stephen Rennicks, the Black Sea Project was released for download by Digital Distortions earlier this year, and a solo album of material, 'Between Here and There' is nearing completion. Watch out for releases under the !kaboogie banner in the coming months.

Tim has played for Bleep, Electric City, Ice9, Compression, Creation, U:Mack, !kaboogie, Soundstream, Electrotoxic and provides the drinking soundtrack in Hogan's every Thursday night. Anyone who has witnessed him play will know the man's a master of mashing up genres. And just to remind you all, here's a little mix he put together for !kaboogie:
