I didn't delve in to his MC career, but I do remember the first time he did it was at the Nitrous 012. He was like, "mate, come with me check this out" we went in to the booth and he said a few things. Shortly after he had a piece of paper at his place covered in his chicken scratch detailing all the rhymes he had come up with. I think his first official non-P.F. MC gig was Mayhem who billed him as "DJ Captin B Mental". Eventually he opted to perform exclusively at Pleasure Force parties and the Rise. "Reach up high and touch the sky" "Find the energy and release it on the dance floor, oh yes" Why the *(&$ do I remember this shit?! Nice one.

“Reach up high and touch the sky”
“Find the energy and release it on the dance floor, oh yes”

I had the time of my life and even the constant horrific noise of Alan's awful MC'ing all over my one remaining mix tape from the time does not dampen my love for it al!

I liked Alan a lot, and agree that he had some demons that eventually caught up to him. Nice one for putting the story to print. Great blog!

I would be surprised if he wasn't still involved in vending. I do know as of 5 years ago he was alive and well, after straightening himself up. He tried to contact his original X-Static partner Ben. Oh, and the chances of him ever stumbling on this site are slim to none, he wasn't the least bit computer savvy. The rest may forever be a mystery.
