Everyones is different i guess - Personally its all about saturdays. Roll out of bed post spliff, hit the decks!! I always do a better mix than in the week for some reason!!!

Saturday is the day !

Morning/Lunchtime

Wake up hungover or not.

I live with mummy so I can't smoke a spliff or sometimes if no ones at home so I do the next best thing and get some toast (with marmite of course) and make a cup of tea (2 sugars) and back up to my room where I pump tunes for however long I want ! ! Usually can get quite into it and do some good mixing.

I normally get chance to have a mix, on a sunday these days. It's a good day to have a mix, normally no interuptions, and I can always have a smoke while mixin (on anyday! :))

The occasional b2b with Misdemeanor, in the week i normally good, as we like to whak th volume up for our noisy neighbour! :D

I seem to make my best mixes when I've been awake partying for 24 or more hours- I really think it's because I am on auto pilot at that point, so I can't over-think what I'm soing and screw it up:)

Don't you find that the minute you press record you lose some of the spontaneousness? [Sort of!]

A good way to do it is just leave it on record all the time. Mini Disc allows you to edit and rearrange anyway.

Ah, the beauty of modern technology.

So now I'm just waiting for a "well actually dude, mini disc has been around since the mid 80's y'know!"
:P Hahaha!

I get the DJs version of 'the horn', know what I mean... it comes on when I'm least expecting it, I get the urge to rinse it

Whenever no-one's in the flat!

Otherwise, Fridays, when I finish work! Busting a shoddy mix warms me up for the weekend.
