May have had one possibly notable song, in 1998, according to two passing mentions, here and here. I can't find anything else, and the article supplies nothing. Drmies (talk) 18:38, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Notable dj with multiple releases and international concerts under his belt. I'll find more actual links when I'm not at work, but if you search for his name, or his real name, and associate it with either Nosebleed, or event, you will find many mentions.

- Relist comment Undead warrior, did you find any further sources to add? -- Trevj (talk) 14:39, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I did, but they are a bunch of local local newspaper ads about the old parties. I'll try to find them online, but the majority of coverage of DJs, especially from the time this guy was playing, was in print not digital. The Undead Never Die (talk) 10:36, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional comment The two sources, book sources, given above do prove some notability here by the way. The drum n bass guide is the kicker. It specifically lists him as a key genre originator. That alone should prove notability. It's not about how many sources, but what's in them. The Undead Never Die (talk) 10:40, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- More info This is going to be a bit sticky to read through, but I found a few more images for you guys. They are clippings from older magazines and newspapers. Mind you, this is prior to the internet boom so most of this stuff isn't online. A few of these are in German, and one is in French, a few are scanned upside down, and sideways, but they get the point across. Juno review. You have to read the bottom of this one. He's been charted on Juno quite a few times. Magazine clipping originally for Lenny Dee, mentions DJ Freak midway through. Clipping detailing Freak's work with Industrial Strength Records. Clipping headlining DJ Freak. Flyer for an older event which headlined DJ Freak. Flyer showing the same as before. Hope this helps. The Undead Never Die (talk) 19:17, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
