What is/are your main criteria in choosing records for airplay
See answer to Q1 (the feeling?)
 
Why would you recommend Solar to a listener
Because you will hear top tunes from presenters who have an undying passion for what they do. No mainstream, just simply great music!
 
Which other DJs do you admire and why
Too many to mention but here goes and all for obvious reasons - Chris Hill, Robbie Vincent, Jeff Young, Gary Dennis, Pete Tong, Giles Peterson, Chris Brown, Steve Hobbs, Terry Jones, Colin Curtis, Bigger, Dr Bob Jones, Soul Sam, Bobby & Steve, Louis Vega & Ivor Jones.
If i've missed anyone it's not intentional.
 
How would you like to be remembered by a listener
Good fun and has no barriers when it comes to black music.
 
What do you do to relax
Listen to tunes (now there's a surprise!), overseas travel (my favourite pastime) and last but not least watch Manchester United - C'mon You Reds!
