Spain: Specifically the province of Alicante. Just got back from holiday there. My folks have had a house in a village in the mountains, about 20 minutes drive from the Costa Blanca since the 80’s and i’ve been there many times. Love it. The food, the climate, the people, the landscape – wonderful part of the world.

Walking on the downs: We moved out of london about two years ago to worthing on the south coast. one of the things i like about living down here is going for walks on the downs with my partner joanne and our kids, marc and mary. it’s great for mind body and soul and i like the way that fellow walkers always say hello or give you a nod as they pass.

My old Goa tapes: I was lucky enough to stumble across the party scene in goa in the mid to late 80’s and it’s always been my main inspiration as a dj. i still have some tapes from those days which i’ve recently transfered to mp3. back then it felt like the music was being beamed down from outer space and that we were god’s chosen ones. his cosmic, disco dancing children of the new age. now i know it was just a mixture of italo-disco, ebm, new beat, hi-nrg and electro-goth put together via pause button edits on sony walkmans. that doesn’t take away any of the magic though, in fact it adds to it.

Beer: I fucking love beer. Yeah it gets you drunk and that can be cool and everything, but as with many things in life, it’s more about the journey than the arrival. trying out lagers and ales from around the world has long been a hobby of mine and lately i’ve been getting into english beer. old peculiar, hobgoblin, old speckled hen – that kind of gear. straight from the fridge though – not ready for warm beer.

Family: I’ve always been family orientated and i’m so glad i have two great kids to carry the Mothersole legacy (whatever it might be) forward into a new generation.
