How does a record collection reach an accumulation of 70,000 pieces of vinyl? I guess it must through a single-minded commitment to searching and buying over a long period of time?
That is the story of Mr G, a life-long digger who broke through as part of one of the biggest techno acts of the 90s - The Advent - before going solo and gradually carving a niche as one of the best proponents of pure house music on the global circuit.
We are here to talk about his new album though, The Fifth Chakra, which is neither house nor techno but an excursion into soundscapes and textures whose stylistic shifts are a statement of their own.
The discussion is of course wider than just the new music however, and we talk about his early years in the English midlands, childhood trips to Jamaica, his journey as a producer and engineer, and his approach to music generally.
This is a great conversation with a true original. Get involved!
