I make house music for love, write words for money, DJ for crisps.
My day just got 100 per cent better.
How?
Because Fleetwood Mac's "Hold Me" came up on YouTube.
Which meant I got to swoon over beautiful Christine McVie again.

For decades, academics have wondered when "peak scally*" was reached.
It's this 1985 photo of me in a too-big Kappa padded coat, LFC sun hat and flares.
Even though it was boiling, the coat stayed ON.
Americans: in those days "scally" was a clothes-obsessed kid from Liverpool.

live near a road called Chapel Market in Islington, north London. And for some unknown reason it has the most amazing skies.
Here are my favourite photos of those north London skies.

I've talked about the YouTube house music influencers.
Now let's look at a great YouTube DJ, Zeu5.
His success is easy to explain. Impeccable selection, sensitively mixed – and the grit to record mixes every week or so.

Let's talk about one of the *the* great deep house EPs: DFA's – Microstructural Characterization – released 2001.
The DFA stands for "Deterministic Finite Automata" AKA Detroit's James Trammel.
Don't know it? It's time for a deep dive!

Want to know what the 1970s were really like?
This pics of me in 1973 says it all.
1) Red romper suit and miserable little face.
2) Pint of lager – it's "Harp". And I'm not impressed.
3) Packet of @SeabrookCrisps – the start of lifelong love affair.

It’s time for a thread on trance music!
“Trance” is a dirty word among housepurists.
But it’s always been part of house.
So, let’s go back – and talk about the first days of European trance, and the incredible records it generated.

Whetstone Park is an alley behind High Holborn, London WC2.
Until recently you could cycle/drive through the Rosewood Hotel on HH and go down WP til you reached Kingsway. A nice shortcut. No longer.
Was once a den of vice. Now it's desolate/forlorn.
A contrast to nearby Lincoln's Inn Fields.
