DJ Ripraw began his music career with the aspiration to become a UK Hardcore producer. This was a short lived dream that fizzled out just after he bought his 1st pair of decks. A combination of his 2 old friends, Joshie J and MC Mouldwick managed to get him into listening to drum'n'bass and it was at this time in 2006 he started his journey as a drum'n'bass DJ
It was early 2007 when Ripraw started to get recognised locally on the dnb scene. The 1st person to give Ripraw a live set was DJ G-Rat of Southcoast DNB. Throughout 2007/2008 G-Rat booked Ripraw for many events and radio shows. Ripraw owes a lot of thanks to G-Rat for his help over the years to date
By 2009 Ripraw had become quite a well respected local DJ around Southampton, known for his fluent high-enegry jump-up style. During 2009 he was given the great oppertunity to DJ at GLADE FESTIVAL 2009, which he snapped up. His set with MC Mouldwick was a huge success pulling one of the biggest crowds of the night in the Solent Tent @ 5am
This year so far Ripraw has been booked for a multitude of events including Paradox & Nightflight. He has also been working on a new tune called 'Do You Smoke Doctor?' click on downloads (above) to hear it. Feedback is greatly appriciated.

Ez all im Scott Corsie aka mc lemie, I been listening to drum and bass since I was about 14 and I’ve been mc’ing now for a few years. I first started just messing about when I was in my last few years of school and at the start of college listening to cd and tape packs using mc’s lyrics then in the last 2 years of college I started to mc at parties me and a few mates used to put on at Erasmus park in Winchester, here I stated to develop my own style
In January 2007 we started up RETOX which was an event that was held at the ship inn. The event covered a wide spectrum of music including dnb, hard style, teckno and break beat. The event went on till October 2007 which ended due to a changing of management at the venue.
Then for the first half of 2008 I didn’t do many shows until July when I went down to tj’s and was introduced to Rollin Rave I started to mc for, from then on and then in October 2008 I became a member of the production team. Since then we have put on two banging head lining events and we have many planned for the future.
So there you have it just want to say big up to all the Sparsholt crew who supported me and the RETOX crew in 2007 and most of all too all the ravers supporting Rollin Rave big up rave safe lemie.
