I’m not being funny but… there’s more to being a DJ than pressing play. I’ve been DJing for more than 35 years now and it all began when I blagged my way onto the decks of one of London’s biggest clubs when I was barely of legal age. It was then that I discovered the joy of going to a record store to pick up that week’s most exciting new records, the daunting prospect of creating and recording your own music, and coming to terms with the idea that the tracks you play throughout a set can be powerful enough to unite everyone in one room the same way other musicians do.
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of working alongside heroes and some of the most influential people in dance music, and the amount of respect and admiration I have for the work of legends and up-and-comers alike has never waned. I do have one question though.
