50 tunes for 50 years: The Wannadies

So I kinda forgot to have kids. Making it to fifty years old knowing some poor soul won’t inherit these unique genes is, well, a blessing, I guess but in my world filled with the best of nieces and nephews (and honorary nieces and nephews), those days of regrets are few. But there is, of course, the other kind of family I have chosen to … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: The Wannadies

Sometimes you need a tune to rage with. And nothing does it better than The The’s I’ve Been Waiting For Tomorrow (For All My Life) or has done for, well, most of my life.

One of my favoured jobs as a DJ is the warm up. A real, proper warm-up. Seducing an a gently filling club into joining me on the dancefloor. Beckoning, teasing, ensuring the heads nod, those fine arses wiggle. When I started playing in house clubs all those disco moons ago you had to start at the beginning, the warm up slot, to earn you vinyl … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Chezere

50 tunes for 50 years: Glen Campbell

Forever soundtracking those early summer days of my childhood as Radio 2 seeped out of our hand-me-down radio come sideboard (once it had 30 minutes to warm up that is), this beauty introduced me to the joys of the songsmith and for me the greatest lyrical line of all time.

50 tunes for 50 years: Dionne Warwick

So here we go. Starting at the beginning. Raised on Motown, Bacharach, Nat King Cole, disco and Kraftwerk.

Mending a broken heart with Al Green. Swishing to Salsoul. Losing it to Frankie Knuckles … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Dionne Warwick
