It all started back in 1994 when Jay (Skinnfella) was bought his first set of decks (a FAL wooden cased twin record deck player) for Christmas. He was managing a small second-hand record shop at the time called Hits, Misses & Vintage Records, in Coventry. Here is where he got first dibs on the vinyl that came through the door and boy did he bag some bangers! Some of which are still in his vinyl collection today. Skinnfella started playing at a pub called the Hope & Anchor on a Thursday night and at the Plough on London road, Coventry alongside two well-known DJs of the time, Skinnfella went on to play several sets for God’s Kitchen, at the Planet nightclub and former home of the iconic Eclipse – a venue of massive influence for music & the rave scene back in its day due to Jay family ties with the Club. In November 2016 Skinnfella came out of retirement after a back injury and kicked off playing at the legendary Ministry of Sound, London, alongside his good friend Kuska playing for FunkDelux. Since his return he has had sets with Crazy Daisy’s, Gatecrashers Ruins Afterparty, and Big Bamboo as well as throwing himself back into Amnesia House with Nev & Bam. Whilst in Ibiza he played at Mambo, Float your boat Party, Jet Apartments & Es Paradis, Slip Back In Time and on his return to the UK, Jump to 2023 which started with a bang, securing his own Bi-weekly show on Fantasy FM and also playing at Ellis Dee’s 60th Suprise birthday party. Over the last few years Skinnfella has been building an Event hire company over the last few years and has invested in a CDJ 2000 Platinum set up, CDJ 3000 set up XDJ-ZX, along with a massive 22k Logic Ethos sound system, stage rigging, lights and lasers, inflatable Stage. He now co-owns 4 events – Raveistory, Smile with Jay G Grainger formally Cream Ibiza, All Things House and of course Amnesia House est1989 alongside good friends and founders Nev & Bam – all still going strong with plans to expand in the future. 2024 is looking busy, busy, busy!
