Horror of horrors, my 18 year old son asked if he could Dj at a bar i was playing in Sheffield and took over the night. He might have been brought up in a soul household but never showed any real interest in vinyl unless they were old 90's house/soul tracks he could play while his mates were round POW suddenly he's started getting really into rare soul and playing it on his Ipod all the time. His first ever go on the mixer was precceeded by a two minute tutorial in a very busy city centre club and he did 2 hours without a miss; hadnt got a clue what he was playing but just loved the labels and go really into the tunes!1 looks like i ve found a new DJ partner to replace my aging ones. never give up on the new generation. he'll be bloody dancing next!!!:yes::yes::yes:

well he played 3 Edwin Starr tracks in a row because he loved the first one and that a DJ "no no" but actually its nice to see someone discovering 25 miles for the first time and going WOW!. i can just remember hearing it in Violet Mays record shop in Sheffield when i was 15 and going " sheeeeet thats the best tune i ever heard how much?" 25p mate.:laugh:
