Former snooker world champion Steve Davis will be playing a DJ set at next year’s Bloc festival, but it gets better – the snooker don has admitted in a recent interview he’s a bit of a techno connoisseur.
Steve Davis told The Thin Air that it was a trip to Hard Wax in Berlin which got him into techno, “While most of the vinyl was unknown to me at the time, a member of staff recommended ‘Breaking The Frame’ by Surgeon.
“While I much prefer the ‘less obvious’, less ‘banging stuff’, I was smitten with Surgeon. I think this was my gateway into appreciation of some quality techno stuff and, by chance, he agreed to come on IAS [Steve’s weekly music show on Phoenix FM] and do a ‘special’. I upload the shows to Mixcloud and the Surgeon special show has become our most streamed show.”
Check out the eye-opening interview with the snooker legend over at The Thin Air now.
Bloc Weekend takes place at Butlin’s Resort, Minehead, from March 11-13. Full details below.
