DJ X-Rated: The 2 x UK Dmc DJ Battle Champion. DJ X-Rated is a name synonymous with good music & impeccable skill that always brings a smile to the faces of fans and promoters alike as they remember genius performances. From the early age of 10 years old DJ X-Rated was being always being told off for messing around with his Mother’s record player. After being given her record collection he made his own cassette mix tapes, by “pause mixing” on old tape decks. His selections consisted of Funk, Soul, Latin & Motown. With his pocket money he went on to buy old turntables & records at car boot sales & later record shops. After releasing his first vinyl record on his own label (Strictly Beats Recordings) in 2003 he was immediately picked up by Bomb Hip Hop Records out of San Francisco and was asked to appear on the legendary “Return of the DJ” series along side the likes of Mixmaster Mike (Beastie Boys) & the infamous DJ Q-Bert. Musical appearances on M.T.V’s “Pimp My Ride” & Channel 4 television & Sky T.V where to follow. 2011 saw Bomb Records fund & publish world wide X-Rated’s debut solo album “Get Live Get Down” with great success. The album features included artist such as Blak Twang & U.K Hip Hop Icon Blade (of Mark B & Blade). Going from strength to strength he soon found himself travelling Europe & the U.S supporting acts such as Run Dmc, Wu-Tang Clan, Gang Starr & Jeru Da Damager to mention but a few.
