[QUOTE="Dreamgirl, post: 457209, member: 1959"] Two parts for me - the record collecting came from my mum and dad who where vinyl junkies from their day. My dad was into all kinds of music including Kraftwerk, Funk and Motown which sort of laid my roots (unknowingly) for Detroit. My mum was into all kinds of mad stuff from the 50's and 60's with a bit of trojan records thrown into the mix. It was my older cousins though who where 19 / 20 in 1988 and I used to go round to theirs and listen to the music. At 15 I was dying to go out and girls always get into clubs at younger ages so we used to pretend we where all staying at each others and then go into the city centre and try to get into places we had heard our cousins talking about. 1989 was really the start of my :fekked: days though. @Mick ..... I was born just at the back of Duke Street, (the church I was baptised at has been turned into a club / bar on Seel Street just by where the Zanzibar is.) Spent many a summer living with my nan and grandad so St Johns precinct was the local shops if you like. Regarding those breakdancers at St Johns... I used to make me nan stand there and watch them .... if I remember rightly used to be some of them who used to gather in the "underpass" by Lime Street station and where Clayton Square now is that wasnt all pedestrianised like it is now.... there used to be some that congrgated there .... think it had something to do with the night club that was just inside the precinct by the tower. (Good memories). :thumbsup: Edit: I also owe a shout to 2 other important people that changed and shaped me musically... Cal for the intro to Detroit who was playing a transmat tune when I walked into a record shop one day and I was like wtf is this Robbie (resident at the Academy in Liverpool) for teaching me how to mix and the use of his decks [/QUOTE]
