At their peak the sound system was involved with sound clashes against some the likes of Gemini and others, but it wasn’t until he once again returned to the UK in 1985 that his music career began to take off as Deli became involved in the Bristol music scene; playing parties with ‘The Wild Bunch Crew’ (known now as the world famous ‘Massive Attack’), he also played at the Moon club (now “Super Club” Lakota) and the long running and ever popular ‘Thekla’ boat nightclub among others.
