MIKE

1. Best side one, track one of all time:
‘Teddy Pendergrass - You Can’t Hide From Yourself’ from his self titled album. I’m a big fan of this track, which was sampled by DJ Sneak pretty well, a record not yet in my collection but will be if I see it. 

2. How do you organise your records? Chronological? Alphabetical? AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL?
’Genre then Alphabetical. Got quite a few genres  including Funk, Soul, Disco, House and even a fair bit of Rave/Drum’n’Bass from my early days of DJing so need some sort of logical order to try and find anything.’

3. What is your favourite vinyl / music related movie quote?
‘This one could turn Harry Krishna into a badboy’, Koop from the film Human Traffic. How many record shop people have we met who could spin a line like that! 

4. What is your white whale album?
’Our Lives Are Shaped By What We love’ it’s the story of Mowest, Motown Records spin off set up to handle their West Coast acts. It has some really good tracks on, particularly the title track by Odyssey. Not managed to grab a copy yet. 

5. What is no-skip, all killer no filler album in your collection?
Nu Genea- Nuova Napoli, quality Italian disco

6. Best album closer of all time:
’Teddy Pendergrass -  The More I Get The More I Want’, from his self titled album, absolute anthem!
