Profile: My addiction with dance music began in 1994 after my parents bought me a copy of Dance Hits 94 - 2 for my Birthday that year.
By 1997 I'd started a part time job whilst doing my A Levels and now had the funds to start building my collection.
Many a Saturday morning was spent in my local record shops R&K, Inner Sleeve (later became More Than Music) and Blitz. Later on as the shops closed one by one the purchasing moved to the Internet.
As I write this (October 2009), the CD single as a format has almost disappeared. As a CD purist I have resorted to buying CD promos to feed the habit!
The collection is now so big that my house can no longer store the volume and has been put into storage for the near future (so please don't ask me for MP3 rips).
As an obsessive music fan I've used Discogs as a resource for many years. For reasons un-beknown to even me, I only got round to adding my collection in January 2009. Nine months and some long, tiresome nights later, I finally finished adding all 3,700 titles to my account.
As I can't see myself kicking the habit anytime soon, I'm sure there will be plenty more to come...
I specialise in:-
1) UK dance CD singles from 1995 to Present.
2) Major and independent UK dance labels.
