TTN?

London’s early dance floors did the damage. Weatherall, Rocky & Diesel, the Boys Own lot. I started DJing in 1998; my first vinyl mixes sounded like a gunfight in a cutlery drawer. Eventually, the records agreed to meet.

Then Dubai: Deep Nights at Trilogy, Peppermint at the Fairmont. Warm-ups, occasional back-to-backs, and Friday nights holding court on Trilogy’s rooftop. Satoshi Tomiie, Swedish House Mafia, Pete Tong, Erick Morillo. Ridiculous company for a man once defeated by two turntables.

Last live gig: Fatboy Slim, Dubai Yacht Club, 2012. Cancer subsequently pulled the plug. Uninvited. Shit timing.

These days: sweeping progressive journeys, the beautiful little details of deep minimal house and techno, and occasional raids on the sweaty, grinning spirit of the old Space terrace.

Still digging. Still listening. Still intend to play out again.

This Time Next Year, Rodders.....
