The Scratch Perverts are back for a Sunday night shakedown at The Stiff Kitten on St. Paddy's Weekend. Prime Cuts puts downs for a minutes to chat with the good old ATL autobot...

ATL: Hi, and how the hell are you today?
Hungover. It was my Birthday last week and I'm still going... I'm allowed to drink in Pubs now.

ATL: Let's get started then. First musical memory?
My Mum was a punk rock so The Clash, Pistols, Gang of Four and Stiff Little Fingers always take me back to me childhood... my mum took me to a Clash gig at Canterbury student union... would have been 1978.

ATL: Have you ever played Ireland and if so where, when and how was it for you?
We've been lucky to have played there for some years now and it always, always smashes it.

ATL: Now, what prompted you to get fully involved in dance music?
Being disillusioned with the day job and meeting the rest of the Perverts... got myself sacked and never looked back.

ATL: What's been your best clubbing experience?
Continuing to rock it at Fabric every month. It will be 9 years this October!!!!!

ATL: We regret to inform you that your house is on fire, you can only carry one piece of vinyl or CD out, what will it be?
I'd try to rescue as many of my Mum and Dads records that i've pinched over the years!!!

ATL: For non dance music, what are you listening to at the mo?
Burial.

ATL: So, do you have any famous DJ mates and if so, who, and what are they really like? Go on you can tell us...
Yeah... I hang about with a couple of famous DJs all the time, can't say their names but one wears a funny hat and the other is rather fond of haggis.

ATL: What is really the best club in the world?
'Faces' nightclub in Streatham has an amazing over 40's singles night... I've been told Fabric is pretty good too.

ATL: Your criminal record - what's the worst piece of music ever played out?
Most of what we play is pretty shit really.

ATL: Who is the best DJ in the world and why?
Me. Clearly.

ATL: And when will we see you again then?
