I have always been a bit of a music freak.

Buying vinyl and amassing music like some kind of library of beats and breaks.

When was old enough to go out without parental guidance the warehouse parties were starting in London - where you would hear old funky tunes, plenty of James Brown and eventually the early House Music.

I always loved the mixes that could be heard on some of the pirate radio stations like LWR and JFM - and started to make my own, with often embarrasing results!

Hopefully I have learnt something along the way.
