Originally a chef, a football pundit (co-editor of fanzine When Saturday Comes) and record collector, Bill began DJing in in the late 80s, but he cut his teeth playing 'Low Life' warehouse parties in Harlem and the East Village ­ he moved to NYC to run DMC's US operation ­ and anyone hearing Bill today can see how these New York roots shine through. For eclecticism, surprises, amazing unique music and sheer long-haul dedication to the dancefloor, Bill's your man. 

In his other life is as a writer. Together with long-term pal Frank Broughton, Bill is author of the definitive history of DJing, Last Night A DJ Saved My Life, and has contributed his acid Grimsby wit and encyclopaedic knowledge of music to just about every dance rag there is, not to mention The Guardian, Independent and Mail On Sunday.

We love… DJ History
