Dave Spoon Toolroom Knights interview

4 months ago 10th Jul 14:55

So firstly, how did you initially hook up with the guys at Toolroom?

It was totally by chance! I was buying a record collection off someone called Own and then realized that he worked at Toolroom Records, so I spoke to him and sent a basic demo that same day of "21st Century". The next morning Mark Knight called me and the rest is history as they say! It was meant to happen :)

How did you feel when they asked you to provide a mix for the Toolroom Knights series?

Well I did a couple of compilations last year, but to do one for Toolroom is an honour. They've helped massively to put me on the map and get my music to the masses. Also, it's the first time I've had a whole compilation to myself, both discs are me!

Why do you think you have forged such a strong connection with the label? Is it a sharing of ideals or simply that you have similar styles?

It's a mixture of stuff really. I think the main reason is that we all grew together; I mean Mark Knights career has shot Toolroom into the elite but I feel as the label was growing, so was I, and vice-versa. Aside from that, of course, we share the same vibes and ideas and I also love their set-up in Maidstone.

Can you tell us a bit about the mix?
