Dancehall has always had a homophobic problem, but you go to dance parties in Jamaica, and some of the biggest dancers are kinda gay, just not outspoken about it. Dancehall was the first kind of music I was DJing, and it was always more about the rhythm.

The big gay clubs like Heaven started having mixed nights in the late '80s.

I'm not necessarily that big of a clubbing junkie, but I really like dance music as a genre.

People dance and we have a lot of music and... this might be the closet I get for a while.

Clubs are so lame. Nobody even dances at these clubs. They stand around and get drunk and they schmooze. There is no enjoyment factor.

Dance music is like a virus: it has affected so many different genres.

Dance music tends to be a solitary affair.

Though gay lifestyles have certainly moved into the open, there's little evidence that society has become more open in its basic attitudes or that entertainers should feel cozy in emerging from the velvet underground.

Most recently we've been working in concert situations rather than clubs. because there aren't too many rooms there like Ronnie Scott's, that are pure music rooms, where people come specifically to listen to music.
