Speaker Bump

1) Tell us about yourself [Antony Small and Scott Mackenzie aka Speaker Bump]…..
AS: We are both Edinburgh born and bred and both have mon-fri type gigs, albeit in completely different industries. I’ve recently welcomed my first child into the world so this has somewhat occupied me of late. Outside of fatherhood I love my football, music and food.

2) How did you get into music and DJing?
AS: My love of music developed at school, albeit in a teenage angst way where the Seattle sounds of grunge and healthy dose of Guns n roses where the order of the day. I still vividly remember being blowing away by my first significant music experiences, Oasis @ Ingleston (1996) ,Daft Punk in the dance tent @ TITP (1997) & my first foray into ‘proper’ house club with to catch a certain Mr G Sommerville @ the seminal ‘Yip Yap’ night, some-time in mid/late nineties. My old man has one of the best collections of rare/northern soul in the country (so I’m told!) so my destiny was pre-ordained  growing up in a house full of vinyl. The DJ’ing thing was a natural progression from being really into house music, with the help of a student loan I got my 1210’s and it’s been a hobby ever since, believe it  not back then people got into music before djing rather than the other way about like these days!

3) Who/what are your favourite DJs/producers/labels?
We have certainly become more diverse as if I’ve gotten older. In the 90’s & early noughties it was very much US led ‘Garage’ deep/soulful house sound, these days I find a lot of ‘soulful house’ very dull. I listen to a lot of house/soul/Disco/Reggae/Hip-hop and Afro influences sounds – we try and reflect this diversity in the Speaker Bump parties though the demands of a dancefloor often leads to house/disco.
 
As far as DJ’s/producers go – Off the top of my head I’m a big fan of Glenn Underground/Kai Alce/Sadar Bahaar/Rahaan/Mr Scruff/Red Greg. I will always check out the classic US DJ’s also (MAW/Kerri Chandler/Ron Trent etc also )

4) Tell us about your mix…..
We would normally play out a lot more eclectic than this, but felt the rough 60 minute remit lent itself more to sticking with one sound. The house we play tends to be in the
