After blagging his way into a Djing gig, just because he had bundles of records and bundles of lip, Grant Nelson became quite popular in the local area and ended up doing a few birthday parties and Christmas do’s. This soon became frustrating due to the musical requests though" “They were asking for all sorts of rubbish and although I admit that I bought some pants records in my youth, I was 16 now and had a devastating collection of 70’s disco, 80’s soul and early house…. I was being asked for ‘Congratulations’ by Cliff Richard. It had to stop… It was offending my ears….” So Grant teamed up with a friend to ‘put on a few parties’. This quickly escalated into mini-raves and all sorts of trouble followed. “Well I only got caught once. The police took some amps, decks and a couple of strobes " no big deal. There was a small fine too, but that wasn’t the problem, what was worse was that if we tried to hold a party legally, like in a church hall or something, the place would get totalled and we’d get lumbered with a huge repair bill…. Some people have so little respect for a pulpit I can tell you…” When the newspapers reported the story about the one that had been busted by the police they called the event a “Massive Audio Disturbance”, which Grant later used to name one of his recordings with Kickin’ Records under his Wishdokta guise.
