About L.Slinga MY LOVE FOR REGGAE STARTED IN THE EARLY 80'S IT WAS THEN I FIRST STARTED COLLECTING TUNES IN LONDONS SPECIALIST RECORD SHOPS. DJ INFULENCES ARE SAXON SOUND, COXSON SOUND, JAH SHAKA, DAVID RODIGAN, STONE LOVE & RENAISSANCE TO NAME JUST A FEW. I STARTED DJ'ING FROM I WAS AT SCHOOL, LOCAL COMMUNITY CENTRES ECT. IN 94 I RAN MY FIRST SUCCESSFUL MONTHLY NIGHT. THEN OVER TIME I BROKE INTO LONDONS CULB SCENE WITH MY PARTNER MARVIN. BETWEEN 92 & 98, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL WITH PLAYOUTS ALL OVER THE SOUTH EAST PLAYING ALONGSIDE SHORTIE BLITZ & RAS KWAME ECT. IN 98 I PUT OUT MY 1ST SOLO MIX TAPE. IT WAS IN THAT YEAR MARVIN RETURNED TO JAMAICA TO JOIN THE RENAISSANCE SOUND. AS A SOLO DJ I CONTINUED PLAYING OUT & REALISING MIX TAPES. IN 2000 I HOSTED THE BIG SMOKE MAGAZINE LAUNCH MIX TAPE. IN THIS YEAR I ALSO WENT TO JAMAICA. THE TRIP WAS A BIG UPLIFTMENT & LEARNING EXPERIENCE. ON MY RETURN I BECAME ACTIVE IN THE PIRATE RADIO SCENE & CONTINUED DOING REGULAR CLUB APPERARENCES, WHICH LEAD TO MY OWN WEEKLY REGGAE NIGHT. MY MOST RECENT PLAY OUTS HAVE BEEN AT LONDONS 10 ROOMS, NYT CLUB, CAFE PARIS & THE MASS BRIXTON. IN 2005 I STARTED PUTTING MIXES TOGETHER FOR VARIOUS INTERNET RADIO STATIONS SPECALIZING IN ONE DROP CULTURE REGGAE, WHICH HAS BECOME THE FOREFRONT OF MY WORKS. IN 2006 I PUT OUT 7 MIX CDS HATE IT OR LOVE IT ( HIP HOP R&B REGGAE MEGA MIX) WHICH RECEIVED A GOOD REVIEW IN THE BLAZE MAGAZINE. SERIOUS TIMES CULTURE MIX PART 1 & 2, MORE LOVE CULTURE MIX, & CULTURE DROP MIX
