The record I put on when I bring someone home is: Echo Dek by Primal Scream or Yes To Fear, Yes To Desire by Panoptique Electrical. Both perform the required function.
My favorite party album is: Station To Station by David Bowie has the right dose of funk and intensity.
The best album to comedown to is: Wendy Carlos’ Sonic Seasonings or Clan Analogue’s In Version comp.
The most surprising record in my collection is: What is surprising these days? Maybe Tongan Songs Of Worship?!
The last thing I downloaded was: The new release by Zen Paradox, Magnetosphere. Great to hear some new material from Steve Law.
The record I’m loving right now is: Neneh Cherry’s new album Blank Project has a great stripped-back sound, blending a classic and modern vibe.
When and where are your next gigs: ‘Gear Shift’ electronic music jam night at Loop on the last Wednesday of each month.
