Dion De Mucci
For a sixty-seven-year-old, Dion is evidently in robust health. He looks like Jack Nicholson might if he too had been sober for decades, with a micro-beard under his bottom lip, a black New York Yankees cap, and expensive shades. He is aware that “the junkie finding God is a cliché” but speaks the language of self-help regardless. “When is a train most free,” he asks, “on or off the tracks?”
Repetitive Beats
Back in the early days of BBC 6 Music, there was incredible scope for creative programme-making. Budgets were minimal, but it says a lot for the pioneer spirit of the network that I was given the chance to write, produce and present a four part documentary. Its title was Repetitive Beats: A Social History Of Electronic Dance Music.
