Early Releases
After having no success sending demos to multiple record labels, his website was added as a music link page on the official Prodigy website, attracting the attention of a Dutch record label who eventually agreed to release two 12" records of his music under the name "Critical Adjustment". Shortly afterwards, another label based in San Diego released two 12" records of his Drum and bass music. At this point, He started using the name "Keltech" (based on his Celtic origins and technical music production methods). Five hundred copies were sold across east coast America, but due to financial reasons the San Diego label stopped releasing music, followed shortly by the Dutch label, prompting him (now suffering from tinnitus) to start his own label "Pyraplastic Records".
In 2000, He stopped making Drum and Bass records and returned to DJing, often performing with rapper and best friend Johnny B across the country, supporting names such as Ice-T, Africa Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash. In 2003, he won two individual Welsh music awards, and a joint award with Johnny B.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or releases:
“No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
