| The
Lazy Sunday DJ
first started DJ’ing back in 1986 with a homemade
suitcase deck bought by his folks. He spent the next 4 years
doing mobile discos wherever and whenever he could. He also
was the warm up DJ for a popular teen club night in his
Essex hometown (well, he was young himself).
At college, he was part of the popular radio station, RADIO
131 where he had his own show. Other interests came into
focus, as they do, and so the DJ’ing slowly took a
backseat.
Fast
forward 10 years and armed with a case full of funky retro
tunes, Jim secured a try-out at Timepiece Nightclub in Exeter
where he was living at the time. One successful evening
later (due in no small part to a passing GoGo dancer who
stepped up on stage and shimmied for 3 hours) Jim had a
residency on his hands. For next 14 months, ably assisted
at times by his best mate Paulo, he played to a regular
band of retro lovin’ Devonians.
It
started out as a funky Hammond fuelled trip through Cool
Britannia with detours into (sixties) R&B, soundtrack
favourites, kitsch, garage & psych, Mod and a bit of
Northern Soul. Currently, sets also encompass indie, Britpop,
Balearic chillout and the odd mash-up or two. You can expect
a fair few classics (Kinks, Stones, Beatles) as well.
