In 1996 Andy became a music buyer for the now infamous IQ record store in central London. The store soon became a Mecca for underground electronicia and established Andy as one of the most respected Electro DJ’s in the capital. Two years later he hooked up with the Outside Records contingent. These encounters helped secure future DJ tours of America and established an artistic partnership which has thrived ever since.

The 90’s bought their own unique underground parties and a residency at the legendary Heart & Soul parties brought Andy into contact with the likes of Mr.C and Plus One (now best known for his work with Plaid). 1995 saw Andy’s first release under the guise of 3 Elements on his own Analogique label, which subsequently ran until 1998, releasing Electro and soulful Techno.

In 1996 Andy became a music buyer for the now infamous IQ record store. The store subsequently became a Mecca for underground electronicia and established Andy one of the most respected Electro DJ’s in the capital. Two years later he hooked up with the Outside Records contingent and these encounters subsequently helped secured future DJ tours and an artistic partnership which has lasted ever since. 1998 also saw Andy holding down a number of residencies at Technology, Sub Terrain, Electric Kingdom and Arthrob, all at The End in London. He also organised parties for IQ Records in an old theatre in London’s West End and promoted several three day parties in a 17th century chateau in Normandy, France.

1999 saw the sad demise of IQ Records, so Andy decided to set up Pyramid - a small Soho record shop dedicated to Electro, IDM and Electronica. The following year saw the creation of the Pyramid Transmissions imprint with label partner John Cranmer. The two soon started collaborating together on tracks and Andy also began a long line of productions with Jeff Nagel and fellow Outside artists.

Since 2000 Andy has held down DJ residences at Perverted Science, Wang and Scand in London, The Lost Mine in Birmingham and UFO in Plymouth. His DJing has also taken him further afield to Germany, France, Belgium and the USA, where he’s played for the Electro Alliance in Miami, E.L.M. in California and Outside in Charlotte.

In terms of production, Andy has been busy releasing tracks on labels such as District Six, Millennium, Outside, Touchin Bass, Ai and Pyramid Transmissions. Both ADJ and Pathic continue to collaborate on music and for the last 18 months they’ve performed live sets in venues across London and the UK.
