FMonday
I love music. It’s been a constant companion through my life. I’m a musical explorer and can point to a couple of notable excursions. My most influential guide was Stevie Wonder. I started with “Songs in the key of life” and worked backwards. I read and re-read the sleeve notes of that record and its predecessors and thankfully discovered the music of many of Stevie’s family, friends and collaborators.

After that I decided to become a DJ to discover and share more music. In short, I love a good song: a great melody made better with thoughtful lyrics. Something that moves you: up, down, or in synchrony with another’s heartbeat. And that’s where dance music comes in. I love DJing, but I’d rather be dancing, with all my friends, and you.

Nowadays you’ll mostly hear me mixing up pure house, leaning towards a soulful jazzier vibe. But beware; every now and again I’ll dive headfirst into a big fluffy honey-dipped cloud of funky filtered house and discotheque.
So next time you’re having a musical party, please invite me, or at least one of my mixes, and I promise I’ll be an excellent guest.

Pure Interview



FMONDAY was one the six original DJ’s at the radio station. Although he is a busy man, he always makes time for his show and do it with passion. He is also one of our very few DJ’s that present his show, instead of mixing a 2 hour set. He likes to talk about the music. When we asked him where the name FMONDAY came from? This was his answer: We used to run a club in North London on a Sunday night and we'd occasionally hear the excuse "I can't come I've got work/school/etc tomorrow" and so F*** Monday was born.
They were usually the ones who turned up to our gig, then went on to LA2, and followed that with a session at The Orange. They then asked me to phone in sick for them on Monday morning! (cough, cough, sneeze, sneeze)
