I thought the best way for me to pay tribute to David Bowie on The Beat Goes On this week was to play his songs that have inspired me as a dj and that I've seen dance floors shake to over the 15 years I've been playing records. The memories I have of playing these tunes in nightclubs/at parties are endless, no doubt I'll be playing them as long as my career as a dj lasts. I am endlessly grateful to David Bowie for creating such magic, he was truly unique, thanks to all who tuned in...
