    Stock/Aitken/Waterman productions became an instant love with the amazing Bananarama track, "Venus". It came out of nowhere and set fire to my imagination and started my life long path of being a DJ and continued to remixing to this day. Their creativity and engineering only improved over the 80's and into the 90's
