The JM BD Party Tapes 2025 Pt. 1

Like so many others, I started DJing as an extension of my record collecting and partying, the main intention being to celebrate and promote the music that had become such a central part of my life. I started collecting jazz, soul and funk in my late teens and by my mid-twenties had also started DJing occasionally in various small bars and warehouse parties. I subsequently became part of (and the resident DJ for) a number of club night and party promotion teams  - WordOfMouth, RIPE, SWDeep, Strange Fruit,  FRESH! and others... 

Musically, I was increasingly drawn to the house sounds that were emerging in the late 80s and 90s. While a revelation, this stuff also sounded to me like the contemporary expression of the music I had always loved, but with a renewed commitment to inspire people to dance. 

And I figured if I gained so much enjoyment from these great tunes then others would too. I suppose all of us who enjoy playing music for others to hear (and maybe dance to) are evangelists at heart.

More recently, this has led to forays into production and the odd record release (...NUSA Records still lives!). I try not to get too hung up or limited by genres and my shelves and hard drives host an ever-widening spectrum of music. 

That said, I find I always eventually return to my roots and, in my DJing, attempt to fuse contemporary grooves with those elements of black music that got me started on this journey.
