I bought my first 1210 in 1987. Oddly i didn't get the second until the year after, making mixing somewhat difficult.

I was a avid clubber from the early 80's with my original loves being New Wave, Soul, Funk, Disco and pretty much anything that appealed to me (like Cocteau Twins, Dead can Dance etc).

I really got into the dance side of music around 87 with electro, then early house music thanks to trips to New York with my work. From '88 I was a prolific purchaser of vinyl. I had various DJ work around this period up to the early 90's when I sort of fell out of love with the scene. There was still music I loved out there, but it seemed to be drowned out by the commercial side of dance and the "mega club/celeb DJ" mentality. About 8 years ago I really started to connect with the music again and began to purchase vinyl once more.

Since then I've built up a collection of things that I love from old soul and disco, to new "balearic" and downtempo sounds.
