Biografie
As with so many people during the late eighties Neville was bitten hard by the Acid House bug and dived head first into the burgeoning scene.
After the obligatory few years partying in clubs, warehouses and fields he took up DJ'ing and opened the Mighty Atom record shop and label in Windsor. This path would ultimately lead to infamous Acid House disco Checkpoint Charlie where he was to become resident DJ alongside Mat Carter, sharing the bill with Laurent Garnier, Andrew Weatherall, Colin Dale, Craig Richards, Slam and many more.
In 2006 Mighty Atom released its final 12". Since then Neville has concentrated on releasing his own brand of deep and raw House on labels such as Clone, Dissident, and World Unknown and provided remixes for Max Essa, Azaris & III, Tiago Miranda and Penguin Prison.
2011 saw Neville take his successful partnership with his Bulgarian cohort KiNK out live on the road, armed with an array of synths, machines and a laptop.
DJ'ing and live shows have taken Neville far and wide from sweaty basements in London and Moscow to the walls of an abandoned prison in Tallinn, visiting the main floors of Twilo, Berghain and Panorama Bar along the way.
Neville and his brother, renowned photographer Gavin Watson, also published a book ,Raving '89, through DJ History. A collection of photographs and tales from the year that House music and rave culture exploded.
With a solo album dropping and also on from himself and KiNK this year, 2012 looks set to be another exciting year.
