Billy Nasty has been DJ'ing half his life, a career that has seen him spin for ten of those years at a professional level. Travelling the world as one of the most in-demand DJ's, he has performed at some of the biggest dance events and some of the most famous venues on the globe and consistently featured in the upper regions of DJ Magazine's annual Top 100 World DJ's. He has also enjoyed an extensive recording career, formed a techno label that's as respected as his DJ'ing and set up his own DJ agency to expose nurtured talent to the rest of the world. Having spent a handful of formulative pre-House years soaking up the rhythms of rare-groove, go-go and funk, Billy was already pursuing DJ'ing when Housemusic exploded in the UK. Securing a job at London's cutting-edge Zoom record shop in the latter part of 1989 gave him a frontline job which acted as a meeting point for figureson the evolving scene and helped him to build up his reputation as a DJ. At the beginning of 1990 Billy started his first residency, The ExplodingPlastic Inevitable (with accomplice Steve Bicknell) at the legendary BrainClub in Soho. It ran for two and a half years with Billy playing "Nu Groove records, loops, European stuff and a lot of dance mixes of bands like My Bloody Valentine, Happy Mondays and James"; sounds and a style that were aprecursor to the progressive house scene that would come.
