TOTR caught up with Alex Nut, top DJ, head of Eglo records and the main man on Rinse FM for a bit of ’small talk’.

Vinyl or MP3’s?

Vinyl all day, but I do use Serato and CD’s too. It all depends on the sound system and mixer etc. But in an ideal world, vinyl, the track has to be mixed and mastered properly too. Tapes sound nice too!

PS3 or Xbox 360?

More like Monopoly or Operation or Guess who, the last computer console I got was a Mega Drive 2…

Vans or Nike?

Nike, good to see they’ve stopped trying to rampantly destroy the planet now, they’ve gone all ethical, bout time. But I love a good pair of Half Cabs too… I’m on my hiking boots at the moment.

Pizza Express or Pizza Hut?

Naaaaaa, neither. I try to eat good, Fast food is f*ckry!

Nicki Minaj or Lil’ Kim?

Right now Nicki Minaj, she’d get it too! I think she’s alright, does Wayne write her lyrics or something?

Grime Daily or SBTV?

SBTV purely for the F64 series, that stuff is brilliant… Frisco’s is currently my favorite. He’s serious, real talk.

Brick Lane or Portobello Rd?

Brick Lane, I’ma East Sider, reminds me of my birth place Wolverhampton. Wests a bit snooty innit.

TV or Radio?

Radio, all day everyday. Rinse Fm, Smooth Radio, thems my stations.

Major Labels or Independent Labels?

Eglo, Tempa, Deep Medhi, Sound Signiture, Tans Mat = Independent.

You can catch Alex Nut this Friday 12th Feb 2010, at our next event. You can also catch him every Saturday afternoon from 1pm – 3pm on Rinse FM.
