If Weinstein or Epstein or Cosby or R Kelly does it then 'it's disgusting! - how could they?'. Yet now it's closer to home the majority all close ranks & it's a mistake &ok? Something is wrong with this picture. RAPE IS RAPE people.

Since our jobs are no longer viable I think every event and person employed in the self-employed, freelance, arts, creative & hospitality sector should stop paying tax. I’ve paid tax for nearly 30 years - it’s been viable enough until now. So angry. Didn’t sleep last night.

If people only knew the hours spent sifting through and listening to music in prep for one radio show or an event. The links, promos, mailing lists clicked on, the feedback - always looking for nuggets. Tonight just four hours, probably heard 60 tracks but only like 4 of them.

People ask why I like house, acid house and techno - I don’t think I’ve made such a big leap from 80s new wave - Kraftwerk, Yello, Cab Voltaire, Fad Gadget - American electro Bambaata, McLaren and synthesiser led electronica. It really isn’t that big a leap.

#RIPDaveBooth
this is very sad. When I started clubbing as a teen at Pips, DeVille's, Berlin and The Ritz - Dave Booth and Alan Maskell were my gods. Punk / Electronic / Glam Rock / Indie / Rockabilly - they both fuelled my record buying fire. Rest in eternal power.
Upsetting news. DJ Dave Booth has died. A legend for decades in Manchester - from Pips, through to the Playpen, Isadora's & beyond - and a star at Garlands in Liverpool. Did the Stone Roses gigs with him, including Spike Island. He music and presence gave pleasure to us all. RIP.
