Farley started out going to clubs in the late 1970s and first visited Ibiza in 1982. He then started working as a DJ, performing at the same clubs and shows as Paul Oakenfold. He started out by playing reggae and groove music, but by 1987 switched to house music with tracks like "Jack the Groove" by Raze.[1][page needed]
In 1986, he co-founded the fanzineBoy's Own with Andrew Weatherall and others.[2] It mainly covered the music and fashion of the emerging acid house club scene in London. The collective also organized parties under the same title, where Weatherall and Farley would DJ, and eventually founded the successful record label "Boys' Own". Farley was also one of the first DJs at the Shoom events.[3] In 1992, Farley created the record label Junior Boy's Own together with Steven Hall. They became one of the leading labels of British dance music in the 1990s after releasing Dubnobasswithmyheadman, the debut of Underworld, in 1994. Other major releases on the label include Underworld's 1996 album Second Toughest in the Infants and Exit Planet Dust, the debut album from the Chemical Brothers.[4][5]
Farley remains active as a DJ, remixer, and producer. He has compiled many albums, and wrote the liner notes for Balearic Beats on FFRR Records in 1988.[4]
