In 1981 he bought his first synth; spending a few years figuring out how to make more than just gurgling/farty sounds and trying to emulate his then heroes DAF, PIL and Giorgio Moroder. In 1984 he moved to London to further get into electronic music β meeting people including Mix Master Morris and Tony Thorpe. In 1986 he bought his first sampler and began working with Thorpe on some of his early house compilations. βKeep Onβ was Mondayβs first production, released on Greedy Beat Records under the name Mister Monday. In 1989 a young Judge Jules heard the somewhat bitty 12β version of βKeep Onβ and asked Greedy Beat if he could collaborate on a reworking of the track, which turned into the well received βAppreciateβ featuring vocals from former flatmate and Colourbox singer Debbigne Curry.
Invites to perform live followed, including Londonβs ubiquitous Solaris and the very first Live at the Brian Performance - an association with Sean McKlusky (Sonic Mook) which led to the co-production of Seanβs then band IF with βSaturdayβs Angelsβ becoming a firm favourite with the Boys Own contingent and getting the band a major deal with MCA and Glasgowβs legendary Sub Club run by Slam Boys Orde and Stewart. 1990 saw the initial release of βa mega rave anthemβ βFutureβ on Judge Jules and Roy The Roacheβs fledgling Elevation Inc Recordings. Beset by teething problems and bankrupt distributions, few copies made it into the shops making it a coveted rarity amongst DJs and ensuring itβs status as a classic with DJs like Tony Humphries - who would finish his legendary sets with it for many years to come. In 1992 Monday formed Jetslags with Adamski and Hathem Al Sayed of Sensor. They made one record βBe Strongβ featuring vocals by Elliot Sly of Sly & Lovechild and a few remixes β for Afrika Bambaataa and The Village People. They did their first live set at Love Ranch where Monday met Emerson for the first time. Also about this time, they were asked by Mark Stewart to collaborate on some studio material and live stuff, which meant several trips to Japan and Australia. Said album was co-produced with ON/U dub master Adrian Sherwood who in turn invited an ongoing collaboration with Monday that has included remixes for Garbage, Blur, Placebo, H17, Death in Vegas, The Cure and productions including Primal Scream & Sinead OβConnor. Along with tracks on Adrianβs self penned release β βNever Trust A Hippyβ and the intended Mark Stewart Album.
