A.P’s MUSIC VENTURE STARTED IN 1998 WHEN LONDON ACID TECHNO WAS HITTING THE NORTH WALES DANCEFLOORS EVERY MONTH, WITH THE LIKES OF D.A.V.E THE DRUMMER, THE LIBERATORS, ROWLAND THE BASTARD & MARK TYLER TO NAME A FEW REGULARLY MAKING TRIPS TO THIS NECK OF THE WOODS TO PLAY IN CLUBS IN THE AREA THE MUSIC THEY PLAYED WAS AS THEY CALLED IT ‘AV’IN IT’. A.P. WAS REALLY INSPIRED BY THE LONDON SOUND AND STARTED PLAYING OUT ACID TECHNO IN THE OUTDOOR RAVES. A FEW MONTHS DOWN THE LINE HE WAS APPROACHED BY A FEW CLUB PROMOTERS IN THE PARTIES TO HEADLINE THEIR NIGHTS AROUND THE AREA. HE ALSO GOT INTO PRODUCING TRACKS WITH HIS BEST MATE SCOTT KEMIX, WHILST TRYING TO KEEP A JOB TO PAY FOR BITS OF KIT LIKE: DRUM MACHINES, SAMPLERS, SYNTHS etc HE COULD GET HIS HANDS ON. IN 1999 A.P. WAS INTRODUCED TO DJ ZOID, DISTEK & DJ X.S. THAT WERE RUNNING A RECORD SHOP IN RHYL, THEY ALL HAD IDEAS TO MAKE RECORDS AND PUT THEM OUT IN THE FUTURE, SO THEY ALL GOT TOGETHER AND STARTED COLLABORATING.

THE NEXT FEW YEARS SAW A.P. GETTING ON REALLY WELL WITH HIS MUSIC AND HE WAS REALLY GETTING TO FIND HIS SOUND, STILL AT IT DAY IN DAY OUT AS WELL AS WORKING AND STILL MAKING TRACKS WITH THE LADS AND ON HIS OWN. THE NEXT STEPS WERE TAKEN AND SCOTT HAD IDEAS FOR A RECORDING STUDIO SO MAKESHIFT STUDIOS OPENED (HOME TO SCOTT KEMIX & DJ PHEEVA). A.P. DID A LOT OF WORK IN THIS STUDIO OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, (AND STILL DOES), AS HE DIDN’T OWN ONE HIMSELF. BEFORE LONG DISTEK & ZOID KITTED OUT THEIR SPARE ROOM AND KTD STUDIOS WAS IN FULL FLOW. THEN A FEW PLANS WERE MADE FOR THE FIRST KICK THE DRUM RELEASE AND A.P. WAS GIVEN THE BREAKTROUGH TO PUT HIS WORK OUT ALONGSIDE DISTEK.

A.P. WAS BACK IN THE STUDIO AS HE WAS OFF TO A GOOD START WITH THE FIRST RELEASE AND THINGS HAD NOW STARTED PICKING UP FOR THE FUTURE. JONNY SMART & JOE GIACOMET FROM ‘MORE PUNK THAN FUNK RECORDS’ ASKED HIM FOR A TRACK TO GO ON THERE SECOND RELEASE AND DJ ZOID & MUCKY BEATS HAVE ALSO ASKED HIM TO WRITE TRACKS FOR NEW KTD RELEASES, HE IS HOPEFULLY GOING TO WRITE SOME TRACKS FOR ROWLAND THE BASTARD THIS YEAR (2005) AND THERE COULD BE A REMIX IN THE PIPELINE TOO!
