Tim “Journeyman” Fielding

DJ

Tim began DJing as a teenager in Bristol, UK. An avid fan of punk bands and the local subculture, he was hooked by the spirit of dance music after hearing Earth Wind and Fire jam live on a jazz-funk show on Radio West. This led to throwing student bashes at a cave-like club in Oxford where he operated the strobe and smoke machine with one hand while spinning the likes of Talking Heads, Prince, Bohannon and New Order with the other. His first big gig was at London’s club Heaven in 1986, when all these influences were morphing into House. In 1988 he returned for Spectrum, the Balearic melting pot that vulcanized Britain’s Acid House movement, and there he found his tribe.
