Chris Hawkins sits down with one of the UK's most influential musical curators, DJs and record collectors for a conversation that goes far beyond the dancefloor, Andy Votel. From building homemade DJ setups powered by Hornby train controllers to discovering hip hop through crate digging, Andy explains why he's spent a lifetime breaking every rule in the DJ handbook. He reflects on Manchester's underground music scene, the birth of Twisted Nerve Records, launching the careers of artists like Badly Drawn Boy, and the global obsession with uncovering forgotten music through Finders Keepers. How To DJ is a Listening Dog Media production. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
