LoveFever
At a very young age Andy got hooked on the music and was travelling for hours searching out his favourite tracks that he had heard on Greg Edwards Robbie Vincent and Jeff Young radio shows.
Just before the big music explosion of 1989 he started organising one offs at the Penthouse Suite in Ilford and also at Chains. This continued and whilst doing these events, got asked to present on the Essex based “Pirate” radio, Stomp FM and this is when the radio bug took hold. While putting a team together to push for a legally licensed radio station, Andy continued DJing at one offs including Oceans based in the Barbican where he had the privilege of being on the same bill as the likes of CJ Mackintosh, Graham Gold and Judge Jules, also during that time held a residency at Club Warehouse. It was at this stage that LoveFever came about.
After a lot of lobbying with the authorities and setting up small scale radio broadcasts and presenting at events like the Live-wire Weekender and Southport which had the likes of Pete Tong and Soul II Soul presenting live, the dream of setting up a radio station became a reality and Active FM was born which subsequently became Soul City and now continues to broadcast as Time FM.
The DJing continued and Andy, while presenting on the radio, also held his residency at Club Warehouse for 12 years including the Garage scene of 1998 – 2000, and other one offs including Egg, Pacha and The Box at MOS, however, the most memorable being Splash at the Epping Forest Country Club with the infamous double decker bus, which had been converted into a sound system and could be heard 30 miles away.Andy’s taste in music is extremely varied but plays house music that can be felt.

Our message is in the music, we are one family under a groove! Street Sounds has had vinyl running through its veins since 1982.
