Lol began  making electronic music with Renegade Soundsystem “ The Spiral Tribe “ in  1991 .
 A year later he formed the seminal “ Drum Club “ with London  dj Charlie hall .
 There first two singles for the highly  influential Guerrilla label became huge club anthems. “ u make me feel so  good “ , And “Alchemy “ the later coming with two incredible orbital mixes . There was also the ground breaking club in the sound shaft , Also called “The Drum Club“, Behind heaven this became the capitols leading progressive house night and was also voted the club of the  nineties  In the “Big Issue“ magazine.


 The Drum Club then signed to producer Youths (ex killing joke bassist) “Butterfly“ label that went through Big life and released two critically acclaimed albums for the label.
