Potential Badboy is no new kid on the block. Since day one Potential Badboy has been a pioneer of Jungle, under various aliases, in more projects than you realise, always favouring pushing musical creativity over chasing the limelight.
His first release ‘Autoload’ with Noel Barnes (Studio 2) in ‘91 led him to link with Paul from Ibiza Records, who took him under his wing and kick started his career in the early days of Jungle.
In 1992 C.M.C was born and ‘Greetings’ was unleashed followed by the birth of Potential Badboy with ‘New Style’.
With knowledge and confidence growing, Potential Badboy started up Limited E Edition records under the Ibiza banner where his underground hit Work The Box (Let’s Go) took the scene by storm.
Potential Badboy joined SOUR Records in 1994 and worked with the likes of Jason K (Top Buzz), Shy FX & T-Power. The following years brought great success with his Forward LP being released in Japan and receiving a Gold Disk for his remix of Greater Love on Jungle Mania 2.
Constantly being creatively restricted in the Jungle scene he turned his focus to the Garage world working for MCA on official remixes for Shaggy, Mary J Blige, Nelly, Estelle and more under his 3rd Eye Productions name.
In 2003 called on DJ Hype for his next step and in no time he had kitted out studio and a new home with Playaz. His first release
‘Play It Kik It EP’ was on Ganja
Many more releases followed in the Playaz collective including the seminal You’re Mine / Girlz VIP.
