[edit] Early Career

Keltech started to DJ in 1992 using second hand hi fi record players that he modified with a variable resister so he could change the speed of the record, they were from a junk shop costing £5 each with record inners and paper as a slipmat. Keltech started putting mix tapes in the local shops for free with his DJ friend Steady Jay and organizing there own little raves for locals just so they could play out to an audience. His only ambition was to make a name for himself to enable him to earn just enough money to keep a roof over his head. In 1996, after locking himself away in his homemade studio learning how to produce music, he started a website and put his mp3's up for downloading along with some tips and free break beat loops for other up and coming producers to learn from which proved to be quite popular. At this time his music production was very dark and angry. Being a struggling and frustrated young DJ it was a way to express his anger
