01. Favourite track: Foci's Left feat. Eschaton - Eternal Sands
(The Shapeshifter's Reprise) (Omni Music). My favourite track I've
completed, complete with a low boom bass sample from the excellent
Eschaton. My favourite tune of 2013 besides my own Foci's Left productions is VUM -
Laura Palmer . So graceful and emotive with a really trippy vibe that
transforms your environment into a wonderland. Scope it from my Bandcamp
collection:

02. Favourite album: EUS - Sol Levit (Contradicta). Closely
followed by Goldfrapp's "Tales Of Us" - a real return to the form "Felt
Mountain" showcased.
03. Favourite label: Time Released Sound. A favourite non-label
would be declassifying valuable schizophrenics as violent offenders.

September 2013. A great female French DJ on the best Jungle radio
station.

Besides that: Mongolian Lamb with Egg Fried Rice +- extra chillies. A
real kick in the tastebuds with the heat and spices; not even Indian
food could touch it this year.
09. Favourite guilty pleasure: Receiving critical acclaim for my
first album, "Grumpy Love" on Fluid Radio, plus good reception in
Nightshift, Oxford's Music Magazine. I put so much work into it and for
it to be well received by those who have listened is a great feeling.

on BBC Radio 3 while waiting at the shops, and hearing "Four Seasons"

01. Favourite track: Favourite of my own is either Pleaides
or Cepheus. From other artists it gets more difficult as there’s so
much good stuff I’m sent. I’m currently digging Scale – Drummin’ Till
Dawn and on a more mellow tip probably 
...Erm, actually it’s impossible to answer as it changes week by week, so
I’ll just say I’ve been loving tunes by these guys this year: Infest,
Cryogenics, Nic TVG, Okee, Limit and Asymmetric, Scale, Aural Imbalance
and Indidjinous.
02. Favourite album: Ignoring anything from Omni, I would
say the Aural Imbalance – Legacy LP. Although I’ve been rocking to the
new Manix LP the last few weeks too
03. Favourite label: Umm…there’s a lot, but Subtle Audio
still hit the mark, but this year I’d possibly say OffWorld Recordings.
I’m also partial to a bit of Monochrome Recordings too.
04. Favourite mixtape: Yuambits excellent 2 hour mix of every
tune from Digitized Parts 1 and 2 really hit the spot for me. Excellent
mixing, well thought out structure, blinding overall. The tunes weren’t
bad either
05. Favourite SC Thread: SubVersion's End Of Year Charts - Open For Contribution up to 29.12.13
06. Favourite gig: I’ve been that busy with the label and
training this year (as well as recovering from injuries thanks to said
training) that I haven’t been to any gigs as such. I went to a few beer
festivals and ended up singing if they count?
07. Favourite book: Tryptamine Palace by James Oroc.
08. Favourite food (or Snax): Got to be Pizza
09. Favourite guilty pleasure: Being interviewed by K Mag
10. Favourite random moment: Having a few cheeky brews in the
afternoon in my local town and coming across the window cleaner who
cleans all the windows for businesses round the town and who calls
everyone Ken. No matter if they’re male or female, he calls them Ken.
He’ll also greet you when you walk by, by saying ‘Morning Ken’, even if
it’s the afternoon. I Struck up a conversation with him and he still
never let his guard down, and managed to call both me and my wife Ken
numerous times in the midst of his sentences 
Morning Ken
Ask me again next week and I'll probably have an entirely different set of answers
