I am the Buyer Manager at Discos Revolver, record collector and DJ for over 20 years.

Describe your style in three words:
Music lover, indie and Earth citizen.

I am interested in a few, but I decided on the reissue of Yung Wu’s first record, which is a group comprised of some of the members of The Feelies.

A British icon or band who inspire your sound?
In general, there are plenty of British music labels that influenced me in the past, such as Creation Records and Sarah Records, but also bands such as My Bloody Valentine, New Order, Chemical Brothers or Primal Scream.
