The Phatfunk party is back so we speak to DJ Adsorb, aka Adam Dowding, before he tears up the night with his break beat and tech house tunes.

As a child: Slept a lot, ate a lot and laughed a lot!
First job: Worked at a fruit and vegetable stall!
Rule for life: Love many, trust few, and learn to paddle your own canoe!
Stupidest trend: Heavy metal—so anything black and studded!
Happiest moment: Having my first DJ mix played on Radio 1 in the UK.
Last thing that made me stop and think: Why is this dentist drilling into my head and why am I letting him!
Can’t live without: Music and contact with the people that I love.
Hum this tune in the shower: Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy” (more of a whistle actually).
People always assume I’m: Working.
But I’m really: Working.
Best gig I have ever been to: Glastonbury Festival 2009.
Last lie:
I don’t tell lies.
Most inspirational person: Seeing people with true courage inspires me.
Most annoying thing I have to encounter everyday: Toothache at the moment, as I’ve just had a wisdom tooth pulled out. Painful!
Would like to be remembered as: Someone who ‘lived the life that he loved’ and ‘loved the life that he lived.’
In 20 years: Still doing the things that I love doing and maybe a few more.
