Profile: Been into dance music since 88/89. Musically tastes centre around the Balearic scene of 88-91 pioneered by Holloway, Rampling, Oakenfold et al and progressed by the genius of Sir Andrew Weatherall & Terry Farley (and the rest of the Boy's Own collective), Steve Proctor, Fabi Paras, Dean Thatcher (and Flying crew), Robertson & Fenton (Most Excellent), Stuart & Orde (The Slam Boys) to name the most important influences.
Clubbing highlights have been Ibiza (the early years 89-91), The 'Legendary' Venus - Nottingham, Hacienda - Madchester, Back to Basics - Leeds.
Top 5 dance tracks (in no particular order)
Raise - Bocca Juniors
Not Forgotten (Hard Hands mix) - Leftfield
Blue Monday - New Order
Soon (Weatherall mix) - My Bloody Valentine
WFL (Think Aboot the Future mix) - Happy Mondays

Not Forgotten (Hard Hands mix) was pioneering progressive house before the term was even invented and it still sounds fresh today. The masses that now enjoy the music of Leftfield are likely to have never heard this track which is still their finest moment - go find it.
