I've been here for over an hour trying to write this introduction. Picking 13 records was an interesting task but explaining why I've chosen this particular set has become all-consuming. My favourite thing about music is that tastes can be so easily affected and informed by outside forces. Hearing a certain track in a club or being handed something by a friend can literally alter the course of your life and your view of the world. Therefore this list, rather than a potted life story, instead attempts to explain where my head is currently at as I sit here in 2015 London.

Daniel Avery plays b2b Erol Alkan at fabric on August 15, joined by Voiski and Volte-Face in room one and DBridge, Calibre, Marcus Intalex, DRS and SP:MC in room two; for full details and tickets, head to fabric's site here.
