I used to be into Ritchie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke etc and used to know Christian Vogels sister, she was at Uni in Hull . Can 't really stand it now, just noise. Still like house, especially the deeper stuff and have always liked Hulls very own Fila Brazillia.
I listen to a big range of stuff, my fist love is late 70's, so I still listen to a lot of Clash, Ruts, Cure etc, but I also listen to a fair bit of old Trojan ska stuff, along with a mix of Inspiral Carpets, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Ocean Colour Scene, along with a fair bit of 60's stuff(Beatles, Who, The Faces etc). I haven't liked much new stuff, there's only really the Arctic Monkeys that I've been into in the past few years. The best band I've seen live were definitely The Clash, but Ocean Colour Scene are well worth a watch if you get the chance.
The Doves, Elbow, Oasis, Blur, Manic Street Preachers, Beastie Boys (talented and been around for what seems like a lifetime) The Kooks, Chemical Brothers, Stereophonics, Hard-Fi Used to Like the soup dragons, everything but the girl. Seen the Beautiful South live at Hull Ice Arena....Superb! Bassment Jaxx....Awesome
Pink floyd are one of my favourites. I like loads of different music though Sabbath, Guns n roses, Zeppelin, Clapton pretty much guitar orientated music is my thing.
I think I heard the guy behind Fila Brazillia doing DJ sets or playing his own stuff on several occasions, Hulls always had its fair share of musical talent
Thats about right, more old-school stuff. I've seen a lot of DJ's over the years but trance music has kind of died out now so am listening to more guitar based stuff again, the last great trance-dj I saw was Armin Van Buuren in Birmingham in 2007, I saw Oakenfold play Gatecrasher in Sheffield before it burnt down that would have been 2006 but it was piss-poor he was yawning through his set and didnt seem that bothered.
Room '95 and I was refused a alcoholic drink by a rather tidy looking barmaid as the bar had stopped serving booze, soft drinks only she said. Some random southerner wearing shades( FFS) then swans up and is served with various cocktails. Highly unamused and rather worse for wear I got said barmaids attention and demanded to know why this cockney knob jock had been served and I hadn't. This was done whilst he was stood right next to me and in such a fashion so he could hear every word. She basically told me if I was Paul Oakenfold I would have been served but seeing as I wasn't it was tough ****. He'd just finished his set but I didn't have a ****ing clue what he looked like. The smug ****er then minced off in his shades and proceeded to dance on the stage. Should have gone up behind him and pushed the ponce off. Show him a bit of Northern love. Ian Ossia was my boy.
