Crawford moved to Manchester to become a student in the late '80s, conveniently at the start of the city's house music explosion. After acquiring the sequencer from his breakup with the New Fast Automatic Daffodils, Crawford started experimenting with house, hip hop, and P-Funk-oriented type tempos. An unexpected meeting with head of Grand Central Records Mark Rea, lead to the addition of Crawford to the label's roster. Shortly after, the single Rain (with Buffy Brox) appeared on the well-respected compilations Central Heating 1 and Freezone, Vol. 4. The recognition of the single made way for the debut full-length Satellites and Constellations, in early 2000. Crawford has also participated in remixes for St.Germain, the Freakniks, and F.U.N.K. ~ Diana Potts, Rovi
