My day just got 100 per cent better. How? Because Fleetwood Mac's "Hold Me" came up on YouTube. Which meant I got to swoon over beautiful Christine McVie again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0sh...

For decades, academics have wondered when "peak scally*" was reached. It's this 1985 photo of me in a too-big Kappa padded coat, LFC sun hat and flares. Even though it was boiling, the coat stayed ON. Americans: in those days "scally" was a clothes-obsessed kid from Liverpool.

live near a road called Chapel Market in Islington, north London. And for some unknown reason it has the most amazing skies. Here are my favourite photos of those north London skies. 1) The blood-red winter sky

Derrick May's Rhythim is Rhythim project defined the sound of deep techno. Two of his most beautiful records, "Icon" and "Kao-Tic Harmony" have been remixed by tech-house godfather @vincewatson And they're both bangers. Headphones at the ready!

I've talked about the YouTube house music influencers. Now let's look at a great YouTube DJ, Zeu5. His success is easy to explain. Impeccable selection, sensitively mixed – and the grit to record mixes every week or so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gepd...

Niche Balearic time. The B-side to "I Say Yeah" – "Flute On" has the lot: breaks, cheesy samples, flutes (obvs) and gorgeous pads/pianos. Huge – well, with me – at The Breakfast Club, Birmingham 1993. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XapA...

Let's talk about one of the *the* great deep house EPs: DFA's – Microstructural Characterization – released 2001. The DFA stands for "Deterministic Finite Automata" AKA Detroit's James Trammel. Don't know it? It's time for a deep dive!

Want to know what the 1970s were really like? This pics of me in 1973 says it all. 1) Red romper suit and miserable little face. 2) Pint of lager – it's "Harp". And I'm not impressed. 3) Packet of @SeabrookCrisps – the start of lifelong love affair.

Whetstone Park is an alley behind High Holborn, London WC2. Until recently you could cycle/drive through the Rosewood Hotel on HH and go down WP til you reached Kingsway. A nice shortcut. No longer. Was once a den of vice. Now it's desolate/forlorn. A contrast to nearby Lincoln's Inn Fields.

Something wonderful for the weekend! About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, an ancient artist skilfully sculpted this tiny head of a cave lion from mammoth ivory. It is one of the World’s oldest known works of figurative art. 📷 by me #Archaeology

It’s time for a thread on trance music! “Trance” is a dirty word among housepurists. But it’s always been part of house. So, let’s go back – and talk about the first days of European trance, and the incredible records it generated.

Take one guitar loop. Add a freestyle bass – and stir in strings, synth melodies and groovy disco drums. The result is the perfect summer house record.

It's time for a mini-thread on German producer Justus Köhncke. Sitting somewhere between deep house, electro-pop and disco, his music typifies the early 2000s sound of @KOMPAKTREC . So, if that sounds like your bag – and it should – let's discover his three best tracks.
