From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

YMSP (Yo Momma So Phat) is a DJ and producer hailing from London, UK. Born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire YMSP is an artist who specialises in music like disco and funky house. Formerly called 'Conte Crux' YMSP plays and produces uplifting happy positive music. He has multiple releases out on various record labels and remixes of artists including (but not limited to) Candi Staton, The Bee Gees, Bobby Brown, Moloko and many others. Before YMSP was making music under this name he was performing and releasing music under another name 'Conte Crux' who specialised in mid tempo breaks, funk and hiphop edits.

Real Name 'Marc Idris', YMSP started out in the late 90s as a hardcore and old skool Dj performing in the South West of England at events and free parties. By 19 years of age he was rubbing shoulders with some of the elite legends of the scene like DJ SY, Dougal, Hixxy, Slipmatt amongst others. Not happy with one genre, he moved through various different types including hard house, hard trance and hardstyle under the name 'El Postino'. With the ever changing industry YMSP found a love of disco funk and breaks after seeing a duo called 'Plump DJs' perform at a club called 'Subtone' where he went on to hold a residency for a number of years. Following this chance musical encounter he made a bee line for the management company affiliated with Plump DJs called 'Finger Lickin Management' who were another arm of the legendary record label 'Finger Lickin Records'. They managed artists inclduing (but not limited to) Plump Djs, A.Skillz, Krafty Kuts, Freestylers and Evil Nine. After 3/4 emails a year for 7 years he landed a job as artist management where he got to work with and manage some of these legendary breaks artists.

Some years later YMSP left the company to find his own way as an artist and is still doing so now with residencies and performances all the world indluding Ibiza Rocks, Brixton Jamm and performed at some of the biggest clubs and festivals around the globe like Boomtown, Glastonbury, Brixton Electric, Outer Heaven Disco Club (Texas), Es Paradis (Ibiza)
