50 tunes for 50 years: Nitro Deluxe
It was Guildford 1987 and I had heard a tune like no other, a tune I couldn’t get out of my head. A glorious man called Mark I had found myself house sharing with (responsible for enough gay life lessons to last me, well, a lifetime) was a disco devotee and always happy to confirm my first childhood love for the cowbell and strings. But … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Nitro Deluxe
50 tunes for 50 years: Nat King Cole
Today I’m feeling a little under the weather. Lurgy incoming. So it seems only right that I head towards the warmth of Nat King Cole. The crackling 33 1⁄3 rpm of Love Is The Thing from my early childhood that brought charm and cosiness to those long evenings spent on my Nan’s black leatherette sofa as I battled the scratch and static on my tight … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Nat King Cole
50 tunes for 50 years: Debbie Jacobs
There is nothing so important to me as being strung out. Right proper strung out. Thanks to a childhood of being raised on the good stuff, oh how I loved my Nan’s Mantovani vinyl box set, I soon became accustomed to wanting my tunes filled with strings. And with disco endlessly glittering with the most glorious of instruments on earth, my life was destined to … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Debbie Jacobs

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

50 tunes for 50 years: Chezere
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
