Growing up in Southampton, Hijack’s first taste of dance culture was through the underground acid house raves around his home town, which led to initially collecting hardcore records before discovering a passion for early Jungle and Drum ‘n’ Bass and playing his first gigs not long after. The Artful Dodger who handpicked Hijack to join their seminal night REWIND where they performed with up and coming local MC and singer Craig David. After a decade long run playing exclusively UKG the night moved toward a more RnB and hip hop music policy with Hijack once again adapting his sound and proving he could rock the party regardless of genre.
