01. Brand New – Rhymefest ft. Kanye West (J Records)
Got it a week ago and it’s on constant rotation on iPod/car stereo/in my head.
02. Autobahn – Kraftwerk (Vertigo)
First music I ever remember from childhood. Used to play it duet with my dad
on our Lowery home organ.
03. Screamadelica – Primal Scream (Creation)
My perfect album. I’ve probably played it once a week since it came out and I’ve never tired of it.
04. Gercha – Chas and Dave (EMI)
The soundtrack to my early family get-togethers. Also fellow Spurs fans.
05. An Olive Grove Facing The Sea – Snow Patrol (Jeepster)
Before Gary Lightbody wrote ‘Run’ he wrote this. Clever young man. He’s also the reason I’m making music today.
06. The Message – Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five (Sugarhill)
Recorded it from a Daily Mirror ‘dial a chart song’ phone number onto a dictaphone some time in the early 80’s. Was this the world’s first illegal download ?
07. Les Fleur – Minnie Riperton (EMI)
Split up with my girlfriend, moved out of our house and my aunty put me up on her sofa-bed for a year while I listened to this song and started making my own music. Could be the reason I have to have strings and choirs in nearly all my songs.
08. Waters Of Nazereth – Justice (Because)
I think Justice are better than Daft Punk. There I said it.
09. Know How – Young MC (4th & Broadway)
Guaranteed floor-filler for a good 10 years of DJ’ing. Cheers Young.
10. As Heard On Radio Soulwax pt.1 – Too Many DJ’s. (PIAS)
Helped start a DJ’ing revolution of which I played a small part. Thank you gentlemen and thank you Nick for furnishing me with a copy.
Freelance Hellraiser has his ‘Want You To Know’ single out now.
