Crate Invader

Richard K aka Crate Invader (floor to ceiling radio London – vinyl 45 only radio station) I started collecting records at the age of 11 (a copy of Herbie Hancock’s Rockit from Woolworth’s) and nearly 40 years on I still haven’t stopped. Aged 16 it occurred to me that I couldn’t afford to feed my vinyl addiction by simply buying records from the record shops and so I started advertising in the classified’s. This has led to a lifetime of buying and selling hundreds of record collections of all sizes from 10 to 10,000. But my first and greatest love has always been for 45’s and after stints on various radio stations in London inc Point Blank FM and Kane FM, I decided to create my own vinyl 45 specific station and thus ‘floor to ceiling’ radio was born. Based in London we’ll be streaming live to the UK, US and Canada and worldwide via the radio apps. Launching May 8th, you can find out more at www.floortoceilingradio.com

DJ Wronger

I am so excited to be a part of 45 day. I’ve DJ’d vinyl at raves, festivals and clubs for around 20 years. When I saw how serious the nightlife in my hometown was, me and my friend Lily set up GRL DEM, an all-female DJ collective, taking the festival and carnival atmosphere to the dancefloor. GRLDEM is about music equality and showcasing DJs, who happen to be women. But really it’s just about playing good music. I also run workshops teaching girls and women how to DJ. I love to play very silly mashups of dance music but this mix goes back to my funk and soul routes, with and a bit of cheeky disco thrown in. No effects, just raw 7 inch vinyl, with love, straight from the heart. x

My Therapist

When we play music for others we experience reading the emotion of the crowd and then adjusting our music to meet their mood and then elevate it. Even though we’re interacting with hundreds, while a therapist is working with just one person at a time, the same principal applies: meet the client where they are, then help them to get somewhere better.

Mister Salt

I’m Mister Salt. I came to DJing through acid house but had been buying records for years before that as a child, mainly 7” singles and was always into the idea of creating mixtapes with mine and my parents records. Around 1988/89 I got in to the acid/house/rave scene and started to buy the electronic music on 12” that I was hearing and bought my first set of decks in the shape of 2 Technics HiFi turntables (SLBD22’s) along with a Realistic mixer with no cue function. I learned the hard way! That’s where my journey started. Over the years I’ve collected all genres of music which i think is reflected in my mixes and live streams. A few thousand records later and here we are back to my roots with 7” singles.

Mark Lancaster

I started buying records in 1974 as a 9 year old although I had been given a bunch of singles and an old portable record player prior to that. By the age of 12 I would spend all my pocket money on singles and it started an obsession with music. Although I buy albums and 12 inches the 7 inch 45 is my favourite format as it captures a moment and sounds better to me than any other format.
