Masheen first got into music at an early age, not content with just listening to it, he then decided to start DJ'in. But not long after decided this was still not enough and started producing. Armed with just an Akai Sampler and an Atari he quickly got to grips on how to construct tunes. Just 2 years on he started to get interest from a couple of labels which lead to his first release with fellow producer Evil-C on 24 Karat under his old name DJ ST. Shortly after this release they met DJ Swan-e and had a release on his label Collusion Records under the alias Parallel Minds.
