about
Pete Rann started his musical career after a school friend introduced him to the legendary Mike Allen hiphop/electro show on Capital radio back in 1985. This exciting new scene and sound of the golden era of hiphop of the latter part of the 80s inspired him to get a pair of Technics sl1210s and start djing. Whilst accumulating a large record collection with frequent trips to all the underground record shops such as Unity and Blackmarket, Pete was also exposed to the early house sounds of Chicago and Detriot. This lead to an interest also in Acid house, early bleep/euro Techno and early breakbeat sounds such as Shut up and dance and the like. From there the musical journey continued to early hardcore, jungle, drum and bass, electronica, Techno and hiphop. During this time Pete had been honing his mixing skills and started compiling many mix tapes. He managed to win a few competitions, one was a d+b mix for the legendary Eternity magazine. The next was for Muzik magazines` bedroom bedlam. A slot at the legendary Blue Note in London beckoned after another competition resulted with a set playing along side Nicky Blackmarket and finally a set at Movement in London. This all lead to stints playing various clubs and bars around the London area as well as numerous residencies in Brighton where he lived for some time including a stint of co-promoting a night with Stuart Cullan (aka Pilote on certificate 18 records) ,a hiphop/funk night at the legendary Jazz rooms and a long residency
