QUIRKY

My first gigs were 12 hours long. Every Sunday from 1pm to 1am. "Afternoon Tea" it was called - in a bar in Cork called "The Roundy".

That seems like a lifetime ago now. I just became a Dad and barely have time to complete my two hour monthly mix for Proton Radio. I was really looking forward to doing this mix as a kind of "what does music really mean to me kinda" thing. It started off very personal - tunes that aren't even that good but just meant a lot to me - more about times and places than quality. I really enjoyed going through my old precious records and remembering the times when I played this or heard that for the first time. After I snapped out of my nostalgia it made me think more about the here and now, the difference between the two and the choices I've made.

So I made this mix with mostly unreleased or recently released music (except for 1 or 2 tracks, like the DFA & Marathon Men) to show where I am right now. Music is important to me. Very Important. I taught myself how to DJ in order to share music with people. But nothing is more important to me than my wife & son. I guess, in the end, this mix is for them because I wouldn't be where I am without them.

(I wonder if he will like Ame when he grows up.)
