“It’s your record. You discovered it…You love it for the feelings it conjures…
Thirty years ago some now-forgotten musicians cut that record. Without them this brilliant song wouldn’t exist. But without you – a DJ – that record would be in a bent cardboard box in a basement…
This is the thrill, and the compulsion, of DJing. This need to share music, and to constantly find new music to excite people with, this is the primal force of DJing.”
Bill Brewster & Frank Broughton

Q&A What was the first record you bought that made you realize that you wanted to be a DJ
Let’s take it this way, back in 1982, my uncle from Montreal gave me a walk man with the brand new Michael Jackson Thriller LP on tape. At the time their was a delay before records were released in france. So i got to be the first of my classroom to have the player and Thriller the sound spread from the headphones to the birthday parties, we were playing almost the whole album that was the party highlights, we were a dancing 9 year old class room, and we loved to dance… as far as i can remember, i always enjoyed selecting the music for my friends since then, and it came naturally through the years… This is for the DJ Part, producer came later.
What record makes you most nostalgic?
Flamenco Sketches – Miles Davis on Kind of Blue
What is your favourite end of night record?
I do change a lot, it’s music i love to, if their is one i used a lot it’s E.W.F. – Fantasy (Blaze edit) it is almost meant to be last record of the party, the way it buds and the way it ends….
