In 2022, Charlie wrote and produced a children’s book that introduces kids to the world of Drum & Bass. As an obsessive DnB and Jungle fan for many years, this passion project was one of the most fun and fulfilling, yet challenging that Charlie has ever worked on.
‘My First Book of Drum & Bass’ was made in collaboration with illustrator Gary Miller, and the two creatives are currently working on volume 2. The book has gone on to sell well over 3000 copies worldwide, thanks to the highly successful social media and kickstarter campaign, devised and executed solely by Charlie himself. The book has received overwhelming support from the DnB community, with many of the featured DJs & MC’s voicing their support over various social media networks.

DJs You Can Eat is a series of comedy memes initially created by Charlie in 2013 as an in-joke for friends.

Charlie was thrilled to be asked to digitally reproduce the original artworks of this legendary imprint. He doesn’t claim these iconic works as originals (Originally produced by Magnet Studios) but was honoured to be part of something that he holds in such high regard.
“Milky Way' was the first tune I ever bought on vinyl, so rebuilding these designs from scratch not only made me feel like a Drum n Bass archaeologist, but also took me on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Shouts to the Ram Records family, Magnet studio and Key Production for allowing me to be part of this amazing project”. - Charlie
