I’m working on a series for DjHistory called The Producers. I’ve already done a few that have yet to see the light of day, among them Eddy Grant and Ken Gold. Next week I’m interviewing Zeus B. Held as part of the series. Any others who are still with us that you’d like to see?

Also feel free to suggest any other interesting interviewees you’d like to see on the site. Ta x

@GrimsbyRiviera I’d love to read an interview with Adrian Sherwood focussing on his work with Tack\>\>Head and Mark Stewart and the Maffia 😉

I’ve interviewed Adrian, actually. Not loads on Tackhead specifically, but he gave me a great interview.

Mark Ellis (Flood) & Martin Glover (Youth). Both good at playing ping-pong between pop and underground. Come to think about it, why not do a double biller with them actually playing ping-pong ?

Am I remembering rightly that you once interviewed Klaus Stockhausen? I’d love to read that if it’s still around…

Yeah interviewed Klaus some years ago. Will appear sometime in not too distant future. I’m also doing DJ Hell in Jan.

Noel Hankin, NYC Disco pioneer (and author of the recent After Dark: Birth of the Disco Dance Party). Though not for a piece about producers, the story needs to be more widely known.

That book was great! I didn’t know what to expect, but I ate it up. The story of disco from a totally different perspective.👍

Have you interviewed Rolo McGinty from The Woodentops? Dude was in a proto balearic type band, then lived in New York in an interesting time, was going to the kitchen to see Arthur Russell, hitting the Sound Factory etc. He still works in the music industry doing stuff. I ran into him at a festival a few years back and he was a fascinating and super nice dude.
