You get the idea. Music with a soul that moves you in any way shape or form
I'm getting a bit too old to pigeon-hole myself into genre's. I like a lot of different styles of dance music. I just think that if a track works, play it. But depending on where I'm playing a tend to play electronic disco with some deep house and techno

Thanks for Saturday night...had a blast! Drive home was hellish as the A1 was shut due to flooding and we had to take the scenic route. 7 1/2 hours back to Glasgow.
Now then, now then, As you are one of our friends we thought it would be best if we sent you a flyer for the magnificent Beat-Herder. It should give you an idea of what’s happening throughout the glorious weekend, hope you can make it. Looking forward to seeing you there.
