Sire (CKS), Derby, England, 1985

"Here I stand busting the King Tut pose inspired by the Sound of 'Electric Kingdom' by Twilight, taken from Electro Crucial, as you can see. Like many others the Street Sounds Electro series broadened my knowledge of Hip Hop music at that age. I have to thank my mother for adorning the walls with the sleeves. It was her idea, you should of seen my ceiling, I bet you have never seen a mirrored ceiling made from baking foil. Oh, and look at that pink cardigan! Well back then it was all about pink Lacoste cardigans, farahs, and Pringle jumpers for the trendy peeps at school. But hey, in Hip Hop we make
summing out of nothing. This was my cheap version anyway conflicting issues me thinks it was usually a Nike Kagool and Ennesse bottoms and a pair of Nikes. I must of been sitting on the fence at this point. So here I stand behind my home made DJ booth by me dad, in front of my Alba HI-FI the cockpit, where those great pause tapes were created. Don't ask about the diagonal pieces of polystyrene tiles on the wall. Not my idea I'm sure. I must of been in love too, check the two arrowed hearts, should I tell ya the names inside them? Nah! Behave, I don't think so. The good old days so from Joe 90 its, hold it now...Hit it!" Sire
