These days, interviews held by the press with DJs, artists and so forth are a very complicated affair. Agents ensure that only favourable questions are asked, and often place restrictions on what journalists are allowed to ask. And being a very supine lot, dance music journalist never think to question why.

Hence why the majority of interviews that you read these days are incredibly boring. And on the rare occasions a more, shall we say, challenging question appears, the response is usually to dodge the question entirely. But that’s not to say they had this entirely right in the past.

Tuned in expecting the Six On Saturday column? It returns next week.
