Describe your style in three words?

Charity shop rewards-card

The first track you played on repeat? And where did you play it?

Kool & The Gang - Get Down On It

In the car as a child with dad, we used to play it all the time.

A song from your favourite album? And what does this track mean to you?

Elton John - Bennie And The Jets - Remastered 2014

The whole album is spectacularly composed and I like the ambience of this song in particular.

A song from your most memorable gig?

The Growlers - I'll Be Around

It was at the Coronet in Elephant and Castle before it shut down. I had been dying to see them for a while.

A song that always gets you up and dancing?

Tove Lo - disco tits

My girlfriend plays it all the time before we go out and now I associate it with a good time.

A new song you're listening to? Why do you like this artist?

Drugdealer - Fools

His debut album was great and I played it nonstop. Really nicely written.

Best song to turn up loud? And why?

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Major League Chemicals

Mainly on headphones. The main riff is brilliant.

A song that defines the teenage you? And the memories it evokes?

Dr. Dre - Housewife

Reminds me of me and my old friend Josh blasting it during summer holidays. Was a simpler time.

An anthemic song? Why does it get your pulse racing?

David Bowie - Moonage Daydream - 2012 Remastered Version

The powerful vocals and has such a sing-a-long quality.

Best song to end an all-nighter?

Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On

Speaks for itself.
