Background Around the late 80's Dean was heavily into rap music like Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions and Ice Cube which was a result of watching far too much MTV, but his first encounter with rave music was from a mates older sister listening to the "Deep Heat" albums throughout '89-'90, at the time he was too young to know about the actual rave scene itself. It wasn't until about the end of the summer '91 that a driver who worked for his Dad heard him playing a Deep Heat album, and lent him a Carl Cox tape and basically explained about raves, from then on Dean was hooked. His first rave was when he was 16yrs old - Ravelation NYE '95-'96 at Wembley Arena and pretty much straight after that he became a weekly Labrynth regular as well as attending raves like Helter Skelter, Slammin Vinyl, Dreamscape, United Dance and Hardcore Heaven to name a few. Graphic Design Dean had always loved the airbrush artwork on the early flyers.. Dreamscapes, Helter Skelters, Slammin Vinyls etc, pretty much anything done by artists Pez or Junior Tomlin. After graduating art college in mid 1997 and almost instantly obtained a position with a design company based in South London where he was trained in various essential design and printing skills. Very quickly Dean built a strong reputation for being able to design high quality flyers for dance music events as he was so in tuned to each style of music he designed for. Over the past decade Dean has created artwork for some of the UK's major promotions, festivals and record labels... Accelerated Culture, Awol, Back 2 Basics, Best of British, Breakin Science, Desire, DJ Ez, Digital Circus, Fantazia, Funkin You, Fusion, Garage Nation, Global Gathering, Hardcore Til I Die, Helter Skelter, Kiss 100, Liberty, Metal Headz, Moondance, One Love, One Nation, Pure Old Skool, Pure Silk, Raindance, Raverbaby, Renegade Hardware, Sidewinder, Sun City, Sundissential, Tasty, Trouble On Vinyl, Uproar, Vibealite plus many more. DJing DJ Twista's DJ styles are very versatile ranging from the roots of house music through to all sounds that involve a breakbeat and bass, playing all the elements from the original underground dance music scene; from his 1st love old skool hardcore '90 - '96 and rave breaks / nu skool breaks to classic piano house, jungle and upfront drum & bass Twista has always had a good sense of playing the right tunes at the right time, keeping the crowd on their toes and making his sets as exciting as possible From 1997 DJ Twista worked his way through the ever popular London pirate radio scene, playing on various stations...from South London..s legendary Upfront 99.3fm & North London's Passion 91.8fm (both under the house & garage alias Mr Willson), then onto original old skool station Eruption 101.3fm and currently holding a massive 8 prime time Old Skool / D&B shows per month on London's leading Origin 95.1Fm & Essex's number 1 station; Charge 90.8FM. Not forgetting appearing on guest shows on Billy Daniel Bunter's Love Muzik show on Ministry of Sound radio. Highlights of his career have been to play the midnight set in the main arena of seone at Moondance NYE 05 - 06 to a sold out crowd alongside the legendary MC MC.
