Known worldwide, Mr Thing is a name synonymous with hip-hop, funk, and turntablist culture—always bringing smiles and astonishment to the faces of fans and promoters alike through his genius performances and impeccable skill.

Since first touching the decks in 1987, he has been non-stop perfecting his art—winning the 1999 DMC World Team Championships with the Scratch Perverts, and then the solo title in 2000. He is now, understandably, recognised as one of the world’s best.

Touring the globe with an understanding of music that is second to none, he consistently delivers flawless and exciting sets, mixing some of the rarest records with some of the best-loved ever heard—all with an effortless ease honed through years dedicated to the craft.

Uniting with veteran producer and hip-hop royalty DJ Premier, BBE Music enlisted Mr Thing to compile the third instalment of their Kings of Hip-Hop series. By that time, he had secured a residency at London’s world-famous Fabric nightclub and built a strong collaborative relationship with London MC Yungun.

The two released the Grown Man Business LP on Silent Soundz. Recording for BBE, Mr Thing once again used his trained ear for samples and breaks to compile the mix album and double CD Strange Breaks, further cementing his reputation with the renowned BBE Records.
