Four Tunes From My DJ Days

Strangely enough, it was comments posted by [livejournal.com profile] desdemonaspace that got me thinking back to the days of The Quadrant, Hampton and Northern Lights when I was a quite famous Brighton DJ.

Yardbrough & Peoples - Don't Stop The Music



Derrick May - Strings Of Life



War - Cisko Kid



The whole album is a classic soul and funk LP.

The Gaylads - Africa



Original repost here -

And the avatar pic was taken of me spinning discs at the Northern Lights - all vinyl of course back then (2011) and I had my own mixer, two decks and loads of vinyl.
