My first record company gig, thanks to Adrian Sykes who is still a very close friend today. Together in 12 months we helped give MCA Records 12 hits from the dance, soul roster in 12 months after years of nothing really happening. We hit New York together bonded with the USA MCA people, Timmy Regisford especially, creating a working relationship that enabled us to deliver their big US R and B stars into the UK market. They also let me remix Bobby Brown's 'Don't Be Cruel' in a studio New York underneath Studio 54 the infamous NY club. Fabulous times and a baptism of fire for me but I had Adrian's full belief so together we rocked the floors of 74 Brewer Street, Soho London where MCA was based back then in the heart of soulful London with music bounding out of all the stores and everybody enjoying a rich period of dance music with Acid House exploding too all over the UK. We had our soul with The Perri Sisters our Rap with Eric B & Rakm our R and B with The Mac Band and Bobby Brown our Disco with Rose Royce's Carwash and our Acid with Kraze - I Want This Party Started Right I Want This Party Started Quickly Give Me A Beat - which introduced us to Craig Kallman of Big Beat Records who is now CEO of Atlantic Records in the USA.
