I can't tell you what an honour it would be to get to share one of my dad’s mixes with you and 6 music listeners. My dad was not your conventional father figure, he was only 24 when I was born and was very young at heart - one of my favourite memories was attending the BBC Radio 1 Love Parade, Leeds in 2000 with him and dancing along with Danny Rampling s float and watching Eric Morillo and Sasha on the main stage. My brother and I have inherited his record collection which consists of around 8-10,000 records spanning many genres and decades! He loved reggae, 90's house, funk, soul, indie, rock and hip hop. As a wedding gift to all our guests my dad did a mix compilation CD which I will treasure forever, it perfectly captures his eclectic style and all of our special songs. My friends couldn't believe that the legend tearing up the decks was my dad. I loved my dad's music so much that I begged him to dust off his decks and do a set at my wedding - he reluctantly DJ'ed at my wedding reception in London 2014 and literally blew the roof off. I have long cherished my dad's mixes and since his passing and clearing out his home I have found mixes I didn't even know existed. He upgraded from cassette tape and started making mixes on CD and modestly giving them out to a small group of friends. He eventually plucked up the courage to start DJ'ing and got some gigs in Leeds and even put on his own nights in Leeds and North Wales where he lived for some time. After years of pestering him to try his hand at DJ'ing he got a starter mixer and started making mixes with his vast collection of vinyl. He used to make compilation mixtapes on cassette for us to listen to on long car journeys and it was then that I realised aged about 5 that my dad had a talent for putting tracks together. He had the most incredible and eclectic taste in music, he got me hooked on house music in the early 90's when I was just starting primary school. He was my best friend, soul mate and inspiration and was about to become a grandfather for the first time, I am 8 months' pregnant. My love of music was inherited from my beloved dad, who died very suddenly 11 weeks ago of a heart attack, aged 55.
