Most memorable mixtape moment:
Discovering a whole new world of music when in 1987 my friend sent me a mixtape of various tunes he recorded from Gilles Peterson’s Mad on Jazz show on Radio London. It changed my musical tastes, and got me into dj-ing jazz, funk and rare grooves, running club nights, doing radio shows etc. Not bad for a C90 cassette.

A song you want people to hear and why: 
Tezeta by Melenelik Wesnatchew. It is just the most beautiful song about memories and loss – an Amharic/Ethiopian song form Tizita.

How do you discover new music:
I used to spend hours in record shops digging through crates of second hand vinyl, but now it’s most likely to be through Spotify, Instagram and friends sending me music.

A song someone has sent you on a mixtape:
Lee Remick by The Go Betweens.
