The first track you played on repeat? And where did you play it?

Joy Division - Twenty Four Hours - 2007 Remaster

Summer of 2001, I am in love, rejected, heart broken. And I have Joy Division - 'Closer' on tape. So there it goes.

A song from your favourite album? And what does this track mean to you?

a-ha - Living a Boy's Adventure Tale

Not only am I a dark soul dipped in shoegaze, death metal and unholy rituals, I am also a huge A-ha fan. My all time favourite album is 'Hunting High and Low' and 'Living a Boy's Adventure Tale'.

A song from your most memorable gig?

Nekropsi - Erciyes Şokta

Faith No More in Istanbul, 2009. Opening act was a local band, Nekropsi. Faith No More watched Nekropsi from the beginning to the end. It was amazing for me to watch my favourite bands one after another and also seeing them watch each other.

A song that always gets you up and dancing?

Trisomie 21 - The Last Song

This song is all about the bass line. It's impossible for me to resist.

A new song you're listening to? Why do you like this artist?

Helak - Heritor

Helak is one of the most shocking projects for me recently. They have amazing solid sound. Had the whole 'Heritor' album on loop for the last 2 weeks.

Best song to turn up loud? And why?

Make Mama Proud - Burning Witches

I listen to Make Mama Proud everywhere, anywhere possible. 'Burning Witches' was the first song I heard by Make Mama Proud and since day one, I have been addicted. Turn the volume up while you listen to this one!

A song that defines the teenage you? And the memories it evokes?

Katatonia - Deadhouse

Katatonia's 'Discouraged Ones' album is the summary of my teenage times. And 20's. And 30's. Yes the doom dark shadow is timeless.

An anthemic song? Why does it get your pulse racing?

New Model Army - Vagabonds

I don't really know what more to say about this masterpiece. Just listen to this song and try not to run for the revolution!

Best song to end an all-nighter?

The Cure - Homesick - Remastered

I spend my days, almost every day of the week, in a concert, event or a party somehow. So, the end of the night is the feeling when I come home. And my "home" feeling is always the 'Homesick' by The Cure.
