HEY MAG SITS WITH DAN GREENPEACE AND HOLLAPHONIC TO FIND OUT HOW IT ALL BEGAN. Q: WHEN DID YOUR MUSICAL JOURNEY START? DG: My earliest music memories come from my parent’s vinyl collection. My father was into The Beatles, ABBA and Wings and my mother leant towards early R&B and Jazz like Jimmy Smith and Booker T, so that formed my musical DNA. I used play with vinyl a lot and make little mash-ups using our record player and cassette deck. That was probably around 1982/1983 when hip-hop as a genre started to emerge. The rest is history as they say. Q: WHAT WAS YOUR SOUNDTRACK IN YOUR TEENS? PHOTO CREDIT: DAN GREENPEACE DG: The first act I discovered and really embraced was Adam & The Ants around 1981 and I was 10 years old by that point. I was pretty fanatical about them and feigned illness one day to skip school then persuaded my grandfather who was looking after me that day to take me to Woolworths to buy the new Adam & The Ants single. The next step was a full-on immersion into every aspect of hip-hop culture. I inherited both a pop and ‘urban’ sensibility from my parents’ so when Chaka Khan released ‘I Feel For You’ featuring rapper Melle Mel (of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five) it really blew my mind. That’s when the switch flicked, and I was hooked. I feel lucky that I was the right age to have formed musical tastes by the time hip-hop emerged because I lived every day of its progression, single by single and album by album. Every week was a new exciting sound throughout my teenage years. HEY MAG - AUGUST <strong>2018</strong> 17
