JDJ - DESERT ISLAND MIX CD
"The People's DJ - a clubland institution" is how the more fashionable broadsheets described Norman Jay and few would doubt his claim to the title.
The first DJ to broadcast legally on air when Kiss FM was launched back in 1990, the man whose "Original Rare Groove Show" coined one of the definitive phrases of the 80's, and who is still whipping up a storm everywhere from Southport to Sunday nights on GLR, could indeed be said to be an integral part of the British music scene.
Thereafter he set his stamp on things by helping to launch Talkin' Loud with Gilles Peterson and using his High On Hope clubnight to introduce the cream of the crop U.S. talent like Tony Humphries, Blaze, Adeva, Ten City and Jocelyn Brown to a whole new generation of clubbers.
Subsequently he has diversed and evolved with the music, now playing House, Hip Hop and eclectic music nights running from funk to Nu Disco, to an ever expanding global audience.
Asked for a description of how he was going to channel this enormous wealth of knowledge and experience into one Journey By DJ CD, Norman replied, "Quite simply, this one comes from the heart."
