“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.”

What is your most treasured piece of vinyl?
Most of the records I have are treasures, although some of them don’t cost a thing. Many records that are perceived as “treasured” are now worth less due to the volume of copies that exist. I tend to appreciate the uniqueness of a record that has a limited edition print, adding that extra exclusivity. My entire record collection is one big treasure chest, but If I had to pick one its the 2003 album on Carl Craig’s Planet E imprint called; ‘Detroit Experiment’. In my opinion one of the best records in the past decade, called ‘Think Twice’.
