MC Flux, AKA Carl Rodney Thomas, is a top drum and bass MC, a UK pioneer in this type of dance music. Inspired in his teens by reggae, back in the 90s he became Youth Champion of the Reggae Young Sounds competition. Talent-spotted for top clubs, he was soon the MC of choice for raves such as Innovation, Desire, Dreamscape, World Dance, Innocence and Helter Skelter. He even formed his own clothing company.
On the flip, Flux has spent plenty of time on the dark side dicing with the law – he has often been in the front line during violent clashes at soccer matches, and his involvement with drugs led to him serving a prison sentence for false imprisonment and demanding money with menaces.
This is his raw, colourful story, written with the help of his close friend Peter Spence, better known in the dance world as Pete Nice. Vivid and explicit, this is not a story for the faint-hearted.
“It’s the sort of book that should be picked up for a film, or a gritty BBC drama.” – DJ Mag
“Once upon a time there was a little black boy named Rodney who possessed the mic, rumbled in the concrete jungle and had the will to beat the pill, amongst other things.” – Pete Nice’s foreword of the book.
“What more can I say, he’s a great MC, one of the greatest pioneers in music to grace the mic.” – DJ Grooverider @ Prototype Records.
