Eric’s profile

Hi everyone,
Would you believe it - I started off life listening to rock music: Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and others that were around in the 70s. That is, until I heard James Brown’s ‘Sex Machine’ at my mate’s mobile disco one Saturday night. From that moment, I was hooked.

Since then, I’ve loved and collected jazz, funk and soul music, and have been buying tunes for many years. I can well remember queuing up outside my local decent record shop in Brighton, waiting for the latest tunes to come in so I could buy them after working all hours at different jobs to fund my ‘addiction’!

These days, I spin the old wheels of steel very occasionally, just for fun at friends’ parties, but I am not what you would call a professional DJ at all. In fact I’m nowhere near one, but it’s all done for the love of music and seeing a smile on people’s faces when you get it right.

I still love the classic tunes and I’ve never forgotten my roots (with a little help from Dave and the rest of the guys on the station), but I am also into Nujazz, Latin, Broken Beat, Electronica, Soulful House and even the odd cheeky bits of Drum and Bass. ?

DJs who have inspired me over the years range from Froggy, Chris Hill and Robbie Vincent, to Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge, Russ Dewbury and ‘Nippon’ Nik Weston – and, of course, the guys who play on Morpher Radio. As they say, quality never goes out of style.

So here I am courtesy of Dave (VinylMorpher), ready to dig into my crates to see what I can bring to you. I just hope you enjoy the shows as much as I enjoy putting them together. Any feedback you have is always welcome!

Much love to you all and thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
Eric
