Best record you stole from your folks’ collection? My parents were given Dreadlock Rasta – Bob Marley as a housewarming present. What a score!

First record you bought? I had to wait till high school to buy my first turntable, and you got a free record with it. I chose Low End Theory – A Tribe Called Quest.

Record you put on when you’re really miserable? It’s Whitelabel remixes of Kash Kali and Chicane, an epic sunrise mix of positive goodness. Always takes me back to when I really got into electronica, just makes me happy.

Record you put on when you bring someone home? Home Again – Michael Kiwanuka. Always brings the good vibes in the room. Respect every time.

Most surprising record in your collection? Humphrey B Bear singalong album... yep, ha ha ha. Had to get it in the collection.

Last thing you bought/downloaded? The last tunes I downloaded were by Brisbane artist Jordan Rakei, Franklin’s Room. So beautiful and soulful.

When and where are your next gigs? Wed 24 Sep, Mojo’s Bar; Thu 25 Sep, Prince Of Wales, Bunbury; Fri 26 Sep, Settlers Tavern, Margaret River; Sat 27 Sep, Indi Bar; Sun 28 Sep, Railway Hotel
