Radio DJs: Sarah Mohr-Pietsch, Fiona Torkington, Andy Kershaw (still off sick I think?), Lucy Duran... shame to see Mary-Ann Hobbs going, she was great at picking records (but increasingly annoying when speaking). Steve Lamacq may be a bit indie and wet, but I likes what he does from time to time. Gideon Coe and Stuart Maconie are alright in their respective shows, but neither are the most engaging of presenters. I don't know if he still does them, but Simon Munnery's shows on Resonance were well worth it. And, obviously, eternal plaudits to Saint Peel. Radio 1, in my yoot, had a load of great shows that introduced me to a load of good stuff - Fabio and Grooverider, Goldfinger, Nightingale and even Westwood (though, obviously, he's a bit of a tool.

Proper DJs: Sy, Rush & Optical, Nicky Blackmarket, Krush, Dougal, Billy Bunter, Die, Richie Hawtin, Andy C... it occurs to me that the greatest DJs I ever saw were the ones whose names I couldn't remember. Locally, mad props going out to the funk from the trunk boys, Dutty Ken and the legendary DJ Derek.

There's an awesome documentary on Derek that I can't find at the moment. Will try again when I'm slightly more awake.
