Si Begg studied at Trinity School and Mid Warwickshire college,[3] becoming interested in electronic music from an early age.
"[4] Listening to John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show in the late 1980s, Begg was introduced to early Chicago acid.
This influenced him to move away from playing guitar and drums with schoolmates and toward creating cut-up electronica with fellow electronic musicians, under the group name Cabbage Head Collective.
Begg initially gained experience working as a sound engineer in the early 1990s, helping to produce live music and studio albums for other artists, and began DJing in 1991.
He began creating his own music in 1993, and a year later, released 3 EPs with techno artist and fellow Cabbage Head alumni Cristian Vogel, under the band name "Inevitable Technology".
[5] During this time, Begg assembled a recording studio (which is now located in Harrow, in northwest London), and learned about A&R and label management.
