I'm quite weird in my tastes, as in they havent really changed.

When I started clubbing in 99, I wasn't too selective on the quality of tracks played, but more the effect it would have on the dancefloor.

I go clubbing to dance first and foremost, if the music doesnt make me want to do so, I dont bother going.

I first started buying records in 2000, when there was a huge Hard House boom in Cape Town, so alot of my records (which are silly hard to get ahold of in SA) were nukleuz and the like.

When I finally moved to London beginning of 2002, I suddenyl had a massive amount of music available to me, and the hard house around at that point wasn't really doing much for me. So I hunted down classics, listened to as much as I could, finding many euphoric and harder edged trance gems.

This is still my mainstay to date, it's the type of trance I love, not what everyone else likes, I don't care about that, after all YOU need to love the music you play, and there will always be people out there with the same love.

What I have done in the past 2 years is start to incorporate more flowingness, sorta upbeat prog trance that allows for a flow into euphoric, which again allows a flow into more pumping stuff (ala Flutlicht, etc)

Not a huge variety (I only own one house track, but it KICKS ASS) but at the end of the day, buying from all genres is VERY expensive.

I don't deny that there arent as many tracks about these days that float my boat, but then the sheer number of releases has increased dramatically over the years, meaning finding the good stuff requires more searching.

I consider myself a trance DJ. As well as a jungle/d'n'b DJ. Oh yeah, and a breaks DJ. And a hip-hop DJ. Etc...

When I started out, I was dividing my money between jungle and classic trance, so it's not like I was a trance purist at first...
