Before the word 'rave' was coined, these illegal out-of-hours warehouse parties drew thousands of people, but they were invariably closed down by the police after only a few hours.Fusing acid house music and 'indie' music was a novel combination and Tintin helped create the new Indie/Dance genre, as did his contemporary Dave Haslam with his Temperance Club night on Thursdays at The Haçienda.

Sub Sub would later change their name to Doves. During 1991 and 1992 Tintin played the infamous Hypnosis parties in Newquay Cornwall with other Manchester disc jockey exports Mike Pickering, Sasha (DJ) and Jam MCs. When Haslam returned to his Thursday night at the Hacienda in 1991, renaming it 'Beautiful 2000', Tintin was drafted onto the bill.After a self-imposed four-year hiatus, in 1998, DJ Tintin teamed up with Inspiral Carpets drummer Craig Gill, disc jockey at The Hacienda's "Stone Love" night, which had become popular after the demise of The Temperance Club and Beautiful 2000. DJ Tintin and Craig Gilly, known as Gilly, took the Stone Love night around several other Manchester venues and were joined by regular DJ guests Andy Rourke, bass player in The Smiths and Mani (musician) from Stone Roses and Primal Scream. In 2000 Jet-set Tintin flew over to various European clubs and festivals including those in Paris, Ibiza, Barcelona, Malmo and Dubrovnik, at the same time setting up the Bassbum breakbeat nights with DJ Jane Funk Boutique back in Manchester.DJ Tintin was then drafted in to DJ for Manchester legends New Order in 2000, playing with them on the Get Ready and Waiting For The Sirens Call tours. His reputation as a 'stadium' DJ grew when he was given the headline DJ spot at the legendary Manchester Versus Cancer gig at the Manchester Arena in 2006 - and was invited back as the headline DJ at the VersusCancer MEN arena events in both 2007 and 2008.DJ Tintin is due to perform on the forthcoming UK tour with the reformed New Order.
