I don´t understand DJ´s that just put on records and don´t feel them.
When I play records, the beat, vocals, sound attacks me, and I respond.
They make me sweat and contort, throwing me this way and that.
Music has caused me serious pain at times, from tinnitus to serious no work for five weeks back problems due to the impossible angles I have twisted my body.
Artists that first resonated in my head were Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and Kraftwerk from what I remember, forgive me, it was a long time ago. My mum bought me a cassette player and a Hendrix cassette came with it.
I remember hip hop before they called it hip hop.
Once drove a car for three hours with no heat, broken windows and subzero temperatures to see Parliament/Funkadelic live in upstate New York.
Bruce Cockburn, Fishbone, Mark Stewart and The Maffia, The Clash, Public Enemy also expanded my ideals, expectations and possibilities.
CKLN Radio in Toronto gave me space to return the favour.
Moved back to London to see what goes on, then walked thru the doors of Virgin Records ´cos they had Cabaret Voltaire, Public Image, Black Britain, Joe Strummer´s ´Walker´soundtrack and Lorraine Barry.
Learned how to press a record, and how press is important for records.
Was fortunate to work records by the likes of Killing Joke, Sam Phillips, Les Negresses Vertes, Ice-T, Body Count, Bad Brains, Kinghorse, Unique 3, Carleen Anderson, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Horace Andy, Q-Burns Abstract Message, Soul II Soul, Primus, Iggy Pop, FSOL, Wagon Christ, Adrian Sherwood, The Micronauts, Ben Harper, Ras Kass, Guru, Snoop Dogg, Tony Thorpe, Photek, Source Direct, Stacey Pullen, 23 Skidoo/Ronin, David Sylvian, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Lucy Pearl, Robert Fripp, IG Culture, Smashing Pumpkins an´ tons more.
Aki from Nation Records came by and gave me some copies of their first discs, then he was gone.
Saw the band Fun-da-mental years later.
Their DJ got married and left so they asked their occasional soundman Angus Angus for suggestions on a replacement. He responded with my name, as we jammed together from time to time and travelled the country to see bands from Ministry, Revolting Cocks, NoMeansNo, OnU Sound, The Beatnigs to name some more.
Joined Fundamental at that moment, and still there today. We went to S.Africa just after the ´94 elections, and damn, the shit we saw can barely be described in words, made me cry like never before.

Hey, this multiple life is killing me. Haven't been able to get in touch. I'll see you at Boreal anyway. We are doing a tent there, and I'm taking my gear to play some records in the day.
