"Munkybutler sets are always Tearout Breakbeat with influences from Ragga and Grime so expect heavy hoover basslines mixed with party beats that keep your head nodding and booty shaking!

I've been dj'ing for the past 7 years and originally started out mixing Trance, after about a year or so I then discovered a drum n bass pirate station called Style fm back in my hometown of Norwich. I then started mixing drum n bass and continued to do so for around 3 years in which time i started up my own event Eruption at the Norwich Arts Centre where Scheme, founder of Bounce records was a resident.
At the age of around 19/20 the illegal rave scene in Norfolk began to interest me, strangely there was rarely any drum n bass being played and as a result I began to take an interest in Breakbeat, a genre which had a similar feel to drum n bass and was growing in popularity. It was at this point that I created my longest running event Shalom Sounds which also takes place in Norwich.
By the time I moved to London in late 2007 my dj style had changed again with my sets including not only breakbeat but also dubstep and electro/fidget/jackin house.
At present my sets include a mixture of electro/fidget/jackin house and I am continuing to develop my own productions that reflect the styles I mix. Recently I have played alongside Jack Beats, dj Orien and The Filthy Dukes. I continue to run the Shalom Sounds event back in Norwich and have recently started up a predominately house/ dubstep night at On The Rocks in Shoreditch called Full Colour. The event takes palce on the first Friday of every month and hosts a mixture of established and emerging talent from both scenes.
