Eclectic barebulb sessions
Barebulb Sessions 005 - Ste Guthrie

Ahead of the release of BBS Episode 5, moving away from our usual blurb about a mix, we let Ste give a little insight himself with a brief Q&A...

.Q. For those that maybe dont know you've being doing this for a very long time, what is your first memory of music and how has it inspired you to this day?
A, Well my Mam loved music, albeit pop music. She had top of the pops 12" LP’s and I used to love them. Disco girls on the front and charty disco on the discs. So I guess that was my introduction to my future vinyl obsession.
.Q. From when you first started collecting how had your tastes evolved to the present day

A, I started collecting vinyl in 92/93. I actually started with drum and bass/jungle and/breaks and hard rave. I was well into the rave scene for years before the tempo slowed and I felt house music. House always seemed to weak back then. Eventually it grew on me and thanks to Danny ramplings love groove dance party, Pete tongs Essential mix and his Friday show I had a constant education before I could get into clubs. I guess from there I just grew to love lots of music by being open minded and exposing my self to different styles constantly. I used to goto rock nights and house nights over the same weekend. Plus the Sj's who really influenced me were never afraid to play different styles in a 3 hour set, something that's quite rare these days.
Q. Giving barebulb sessions open ethos with regards to genre what direction can we expect from your selection?

A, well I really just picked out a selection of records from many genres that I adore. Mostly older records now but some newer ones too. So there's not a direction as such. Just a cross genre selection of music that constantly inspires me really, without being too anal. I wanted the listeners to recognise or at least identify with the music
