“I’m an old raver and my first favourite DJ was Sasha back at Shelley’s in Stoke around ’89–’90. He was one of the first DJs to program his sets with direction as well as crafting new songs and melodies from two records you knew really well. That might not sound cutting-edge now, but at the time no-one was doing that sort of thing. I fell out of love with Sasha for a while, but when he played Room 1 on Fabric’s fourth birthday he destroyed the place. To this day I haven’t seen Room 1 go off like that.”

“Halloween 2009: me and Robert Hood in Room 2. Everyone had gone to town with the fancy dress – fake blood and gore everywhere! It was the first time I got to watch Hood in action up close. He was on fire! Usually if I see a hero doing his thing up close it spoils the magic. This did the opposite; it made me more of a fan! I couldn’t work out how he was gelling all the elements together. That night remains one of my favourite fabric nights, as both a DJ and a punter.”
