John Armstrong - Traveling Through Time and Space

“When creating a compilation you have to do this leap of faith, mind reading thing where somebody just picking this record up will like the tracks…I play one record that I like, then I play another one that I like, and I try to make them tell a story.”

DJ and compilation maker John Armstrong speaks about the addictive storytelling of creating compilations, and his adventures in African music.
