“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

What was the first record you bought that made you realize that you wanted to be a DJ / Producer?
The first record i bought was Primal Scream – Come together on 7″
i don’t think there was one record that made me want to be a dj or producer
It just became a gradual thing were your buying records every week and eventually you want to play them out.
What record makes you most nostaligic?
Probably the Elvis version of Jealous Guy as i can remember being on holidays with my family when i was probably 6 years of age and my Dad would be playing Elvis… my Dad loves Elvis!
What is your favourite end of night record?
I don’t have a specific record that i finish with but it would probably be a Jazzfunk or Disco tune depends on the crowd too. . something like George Benson’s – The Ghetto which is featured in my mix.
Do you have a guilty pleasure record?
Mmmm i dont do guilty pleasures 🙂 Jennifer Rush – The power of Love.
What is your most treasured piece of vinyl?
I’ve a nice Marvin Gaye – “Whats going on” picture disc , its wasnt that expensive but its one i wouldnt want to lose.
Ive a lot of early Carl Craig and Ron Trent Preciption / Balance 12’s that are special to me.
