As a 16-year-old, Simon Apex became hooked on high-octane Breakbeat and started collecting tape packs. When the legendary Rhythm Station opened just miles from his home in the south of England, he became an immediate regular, attending most of the Fusion events. He was right there for the most memorable events in Rave and Rhythm Station history, significantly the first-ever Slammin Vinyl. A couple of years later Simon decided to be more than just a clubber, so he sold everything he owned to scrape up money for his first set of turntables, and began developing his signature sounds. Not long afterward he spied the woman who was to become the gateway to his life’s achievements – Angela. She was visiting UK from California, USA.
