This year you may have seen Dafydd behind the counter in Spillers, DJing all over the place, helping to run the great Batacuda Basics night in Cardiff, or, if you were properly stalking him, in Australia or America on a big old holiday.

What else did you enjoy this year?
Being able to tell the difference between US and Canadian accents is a new and exciting skill I now possess; also learning that Inglewood is not as bad a place to be lost at night as you may have been led to believe.
DJing as far away as Electric Picnic in Ireland and at Club Otis in San Francisco.

2008 was…
A bedding in process. It’ll take some time for the squad to gel, Alan, but 2009 will see us challenging for the title.
