DJ Heather grew up in Chicago; a city with a rich underground history and perfectly suited to a kid with a keen interest in music. Her parent's collection of LPs became the backdrop for her own explorations into music. The prevalence of all-ages clubs in Chicago were a gateway into late 80s dance music and the wealth of local radio shows, playing everything from new wave to rock and disco to hip hop, created a wide base of influences for her future DJing and production. Heather's undiluted appreciation of music has seen her develop from hip hop DJ playing rare groove, soul and funk into primarily a house DJ. It wasn't a conscious decision but a natural migration, during years spent working in record shops and developing her skills, that has taken her to countries across the globe and seen her become a resident at fabric last year. Heather has released on Seasons, 20:20 Vision, Aroma, and launches her own Blackcherry Recordings in May. She's lent her warm voice to many tracks, and has collaborations with Brett Johnson, Slater Hogan, Bobby Valentine, Miles Maeda, DJ Colette and No Assembly Required released over the coming months

The fifth in the Under the Influence series comes from Bob Geldof. His tracklist includes early influences on the Boomtown Rats sound and his solo work (e.g. Dr. Feelgood and Max Romeo), along with a host of cuts to delight and inspire - even Cliff Richard sounds good here! The Who, New York Dolls, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Television, Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, The Kinks... they're all here.
The album will include personally written sleevenotes by Sir Bob himself - and considering at an early stage in his career he picked up the name 'Bob the Gob' from the music press for his outspoken views, they should make interesting reading.
