Sadly not a gifted musician in any capacity at all - never even mastered the 'recorder' in primary school (nor in high school actually not even to this very  day!!)  I can't actually sing either BUT (yes; the 'but' is that massive that I really do have to stress it with caps & make sure I really ' drive it home!' for anybody bored enough to have actually have read as far as this - We both clearly have too much time on our hands!) oh yeah.... Sorry, I digress. Oh yeah  the massively important BUT - in despite of being a totally talentless, inept musician personally; (SERIOUSLY?.....  You can't still be reading this. Can you? What the hell for; its clearly a chemically fuelled rant about errr, well - nothing really) I'm perhaps what 'some' might call a geek when it comes to listening to it, appreciating and dancin my ass off to the music! 
Eclectic in taste really ..... clearly I love my 'House' in its many formats- minimal, Chicago, acid, tech etc, etc. (Wow. Guess you must have been REALLY bored if you've made it this far!)  also love breaks & beats, trip-hop, dub, trance, indie, disco classics,  blues  jazz, classic soul, nu- soul, hip hop, D&B but my heart truly lies in the childhood sounds of Northern Soul & Tamla Motown! (ok f#ck this- I'm off! Think u get the point now anyway. Besides if you actually got anywhere near as far as this - then clearly it's not 'the point' you need; it's help. Muhaaaaha. Be seeing you 'a-round' lIke a big fookin beachball!
