Career
Blackmarket started DJing in the 1980s when he was 14 and initially played electro before moving on to play all different types of dance music in house parties and on various pirate radio stations, including Pulse FM and Eruption FM, in London.[2][3]
He is also famous for being part-owner of independent dance music record store Blackmarket Records in Soho, Central London (now known as BM-Soho).[4] In the early 1990s, he created a department within the store for the breakbeat scene which would evolve into drum and bass.
