DJ Judge Jules had to choose between chasing after girls or being a DJ. He chose the latter, hoping the former would follow! he told t5m. He would go to a second hand record shop called The Record and Tape Exchange in Camden where he would buy “old fashioned” (as far as the public were concerned) tracks for as little as 10p.
When he was old enough, he began doing gigs at clubs which he got through promoting his parties. The golden rule for dj-ing is to gain a strong following, and the younger you are the more friends who have which always works in your favour. He offered young people, who were going out for the first time in London, a legal way for social opportunites.
Back then parties were held in disused warehouses around London, namely Shoreditch and Old Street, which are now hotbeds for social activity. He would befriend estate agents who would allow him access, and they would bring in generators and sometimes hook up to street lamps!
He wanted to champion music that wasn’t being played in nightclubs in London.
