Bonus Episode | Meet Steve Taylor

The De Trout Spinners - London’s only alternative.

This week we spoke to Author, Academic and former Xfm DJ, Steve Taylor. “The Man With The Knowledge”, Steve presented shows in virtually every time-slot on the station between 1998 and 2008, but dedicated most of his energy to The A to X of Alternative Music which went out weekly, and where he was allowed total freedom to choose the music he wanted, blending new releases with archive tracks and rarities from artists that ranged from the psychedelic sixties to the lo-fi nineties.

A great storyteller and the changing face of the music / media landscape, we're thankful to Steve for his humour and generosity with his time, so do enjoy the chat and be sure to check him out on Twitter and read his Xfm-homage book!
