DJ Alan Thompson

House Music All Night Long

About Me

Born and raised in Swansea, South Wales, UK. Moved to London when I was 19, fell in love with house music and became a DJ, was a resident at Trade and DTPM in London for 12 years. DJ’ing has taken me all over the world and now I have settled in Australia. Left London for Sydney in 2004 and have no regrets. I promote DTPM here in Sydney and am lucky enough to continue what I love most, playing music in the country I now call home.

My Interests

General Interests My other biggest passion other than house music is food, oh my god I love food, buying it, cooking it, eating it! There's nothing better or more satisfying than a great meal with friends either at home or a restaurant. I love cooking for friends at home and do it as often as I can. I snowboard, scuba dive and have just taken up horse riding, something I have wanted to do for years. Now I'm hooked and love it, its a great way of clearing the head.

I'd like to meet:

Like minded people who love house music.

Music:

Music Being a DJ I'm surrounded by music all the time, I have a great passion for house music and it will always play a huge part in my life. At home I like to listen to classic funk and soul or some disco.....

Movies:

Television:

Television Not a big TV watcher to be honest. I tend to only watch specific shows I like. I do however love English comedy like League of Gentlemen, Shameless, Royale Family, Bo Selecta, Catherine Tate ans right now Gavin and Stacey. Since moving to Australia the only show I really watch here is Love My Way, a fantastic drama set in Sydney which has some of the best writing on TV.

Books:

Books I always have at least 1 book on the go. My favourite book is "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry currently reading "A Fraction of The Whole by Steve Toltz"
