What DJ tech did you use in your early days? (We’d love to see some photos!)
Just Technics Mk2’s – that is all anyone used in the late 80’s, 90’s

Throughout your career is there a piece of equipment that you have just never got on with?
Headphones, I always seem to break them and only get sound in 1 ear (Editor – Unavoidable for a working DJ!). I currently use Sony MDR7596.
From a DJing point of view what three things do you always take to a gig apart from USB and headphones obviously!
Viny, nothing else really, I keep it simple. (Editor – Love this)
Can you talk us through your productions? (If any)
Too many to mention, I made chill out, drum n bass, house, techno, latin jazz.
Editor – Just one example is this mix that is often on the office stereo from the early 2000’s
If you still have vinyl at home, how much?
I had 15,000 but now around 6000
Outside of DJing and production, what tech do you use at home?
I’m not a fan, I don’t even have wifi in the house, I wouldn’t use smart devices either.
Can you let us know three apps that are essential to you?
I have so few apps to be honest but maybe Shazam, Starchart and Tradingview
What app would you like to spread the word about?
None really, I use as little devices as possible and think people should spend more time in nature.
What non-music related product can’t you live without?
My Tibetan singling bowl (Editor – Look this up)
Any DJs or producers that we should watch out for?
Made By Pete and Kasango, I manage both of them and both super talented and rising fast
