In 1998, Stainer started producing his own music and had his first commercially released track, "Weakness", released in the same year.[2] "Weakness" was a collaboration with MJ Cole which was released by Very Important Plastic (VIP) Records. At this time, Stainer hosted a show on the London pirate radio station London Underground. "Weakness" was featured on Warner Music's Pure Garage compilation album, Pure Garage Rewind Back to the Old Skool, mixed by DJ EZ. This was released on 3 December 2007, and after two weeks on sale, it was awarded a UK gold disc status.
