As usual, Sunday night came and I didn't really have that spark of inspiration on what to play... So, I went quids in with a loose idea that I have had for a while, of paying homage to Jay D'Cruze with a little impromptu Serato mini-mix. Back in the early 1990s, Jay lived in Welling, Kent, which is a town adjacent to where I grew up in Bexleyheath. Our paths crossed a few times through the local record shop, Vinyl Conflict, and I visited him in his studio once with my mate Paul T.

Jay created a lot of great music under his own name and was also part of Boogie Times Tribe alongside Dan Donnelly, who produced the legendary track "Dark Stranger" (which I didn't get round to including in the mix!). Fast forward some 25+ years, and I ran into Jay again at my pal Paul's night in Peckham Audio. Special shout to B.Heath legend Ben Rigby for getting Jay out that night. We hung out, smashed a lot of rum, shared some laughs, and I grilled him a bit about music and raving. He’s a genuinely nice guy and is very modest about his impact on the scene. Hats off to you mate :)
