Known for spinning deep, twisted house grooves at leading celebs’ post-tour parties, DJ Phil Drummond has a heart to heart with us before he takes on the decks at Mode party.
First job: Left school and had a hit record. I’ve never really had a “real job” as my mother used to say.
Rule for life: Avoid women under 25.
Can’t live without: The internet, obviously.
Favorite gadget: My MacBook pro. I’m a sucker for anything made by Mac.
Last lie: Told my mum my new car was a lot cheaper than it actually was. Sorry mom.
Favorite audience: Back at a club in East London called Charlie Chans in the early 90s. It was my first residency and I knew exactly what they wanted and they let you know they were enjoying it every single week. Was great fun.
One word to describe your sound: Entertaining.
Listening to: Jalapeno Records.
Most annoying thing I have to encounter everyday: Waking up in the UK. Can’t wait to get out to Asia for a month.
Most inspirational person: I’ve always marched to the sound of my own drum.
What to expect at your gig: Fun! Some people can take this whole thing too seriously. I’ve had 18 years of fun and have no intention of changing now.
