Earliest musical memory....
"Oh lord, probably my dad playing guitar. There are also some terrifying photos of me attacking a Casio keyboard in a fluro shades somewhere in my parents' house. Yes, I invented new rave."

First single you owned....
"Now this is somewhat embarrassing. I didn't buy much music until I hit 14-15 (just recorded the charts on a cassette player right?), but I do remember buying the cassette single of Meat Loaf's 'Objects In The Rear View Mirror'... for some reason. "I was quite a fan at that age. Mainly because his stage show was loud, included fire and at the end he shot a huge inflatable bat. What young boy wouldn't like that?"

First album you owned....
"Now this is much better. My Dad was also a DJ and I remember 'going halves' on Michael Jackson 'Bad' with him.
Basically this meant, paying half, him copying it onto cassette for me, and then him keeping the vinyl to play out. Wall to wall tune-age.
I also loved Moonwalker, but no recognise an opening sequence featuring MJ walking some kids and a dog into the woods probably didn't help his case much..."

Made your DJ debut at....
"Southampton University. Ran events for my hall at uni and the DJ seemed to be the person with a) lots of CDs and b) the motivation to stand in the corner of the room while everyone else partied.

"Loads of gigs down there playing loads of types of parties but slowly taught myself to use CDJs and beatmatch. Soulwax (later 2ManyDJs) changed my life when I realised I could play all the types of music I loved in the same set. Sometimes at the same time."

Worst club you DJ'd at.......
"Ooh wow. Nothing really sticks out, but - for me - a bad gig is when I can't do my thing to the best of my ability. A rammed club with broken CDJs and a crappy mixer will also be a worse night than DJing to 50 people on kit that functions."

If in trouble you can always play.....
"Every DJ has a few secret weapons but I'll disclose Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics. Not much of a secret, it gets an airing most nights! From indie nights, to house parties, to electro marathons this tune will a) always get you out of a hole b) make women dance (important.) and c) it mixes with most any dance track."

Most bizarre clubbing experience...
"God there have been a few especially in student days. I vividly remember someone being carried around the dance floor to Aphex Twin, being flung on stage post-set with the Gossip, and handing out wetwipes to hundreds of dirty festival goers (what a rush!).

Note: this was not all on the same night."

Favourite record sleeve...
"Interesting. I'm much more of an mp3 man so, more and more, sleeves mean very little to me. However, a sleeve everyone should check out is Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion (http://is.gd/cJSER) Well trippy.

All time top 5 tunes...
"Sweet lord. This changes constantly. Tunes that kill at 2am in a club aren't always the tunes you listen to on your day off so here's a mix.

- Beach Boys 'God Only Knows' - simply incredible.
- Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams' - I owe this record a lot and Annie Lennox was amazing to photograph when I was given the chance.
- Rage Against The Machine 'Testify' amazing band, and great memories of a long forgotten mixtape from Does It Offend You, Yeah?
- LCD Soundsystem 'All My Friends' - if this track was 4 hours long, would anyone complain. Of course not.
- Carly Simon 'Nobody Does It Better' - as Thom Yorke said, "Just the sexiest song in the world..."

SESSION is......
"A monthly excuse for me to dance like a b*stard with my mates, and play some great records to an open minded crowd who just want to have fun and kick out the jams"
