Haisman initially worked as a club promoter, as well as a prominent club "face" and dancer in London. On a local scale, he organized events like Raid at various clubs in London, including Shoom, and became one of the most recognizable figures in the acid house club scene during the late '80s.[5] He was also the PR manager for Spectrum, London's first acid house club,[6] and a part of the Boys Ownfanzine crew, alongside Terry Farley, Andrew Weatherall and others.[2]
Haisman was also behind the popular clubbing phrase "It’s all gone Pete Tong", which later inspired the title of a major dance music film and was eventually embraced by Pete Tong for his Ibiza nights.[2]
Haisman lived in Spain for many years, where he contracted deep vein thrombosis and came close to death. Later, he returned to the UK, reconnecting with many figures from the old acid house scene.[7]
