For
someone who's only 17, DJ Thrilla aka Danny Edwards from Rochdale
enjoys a reputation as "that Manchester boy" with some
of the biggest names on the Drum 'n' Bass scene.

Thrilla's
only been DJing for the past 3 years after a brief sidestep into
MC'ing taught him that his real passion was playing vinyl.He says
that his mission is to bring all his musical influences into his
set and give something new to the urban scene.

He's
recently been to the third Highly Blessed MC Convention in London
to meet Shabba D's manager Paul Ibiza and spent the night on stage
watching and learning from some of the Uk's leading D'n'B stars.
He's
also just done his first demo for Highly Blessed and is waiting
to hear what they thought.
"I was really pleased that all the tunes on my demo were played
at the Convention - if nothing comes of the demo this time at least
people will know who I am...two or three crews asked me if I'd be
interested in working with them and a guy from Cool FM asked me
if I wanted to do something on one of their shows...it was great
being at a place like the MC Convention...it confirmed for me what
I really want to do."
