Influences – Dennis Ferrer

Dennis Ferrer has constantly found himself being in the right place at the right time, whether or not this is through good fortune or due to him being able to predict the future with some kind of psychic powers is yet to be seen. He was involved as dance music has headed in an afro-centric direction and once again found himself on the cusp of the wave when the music took a tech and soul swerve. If there was ever a DJ you'd want by your side as you picked your lottery numbers, Mr Ferrer would surely be at the top of your list. Here, he tells us about his musical influences in a journey that takes in Bill Withers, Marilyn Manson and Donnie Mcclurkin.

There is no better written opening line that I know of but this one. ”He came from somewhere back in her long ago.” As a writer that one line to me is so simple and yet so complex. It’s always intrigued me. The perfect opening to the start of a verse and a ridiculously good record. Maybe my all time favourite.
