    28:22 I used to have 2 copies of Squelch on 12 inch, and would mix both mixes together into one long version. I never heard that original version he’s playing. Jackpot records was massive in it’s day. Blue Amazon “No Other Love” was huge, Shango Tunnel vision as well

    Followed Danny music for a long time and went to see him in London clubs whenever I could. His modded Sony cup / telephone handle headphones were legendary! Unique style, the epitome of the slow build and very groovy with it.
    Last time I saw in in ministry of sound was disappointing though. He was very animated and angry at something before and during his set. Shouting at the backstage staff while playing. The main room wasn't packed, maybe 2/3rds full. Anyways, not a good look and it of course was reflected in what he played - technically brilliant as always, but he gave the crowd nothing. I hope he's doing well and that was just a bad night - too many great memories (turnmills, the end etc). What's the watch he's wearing in this video?
