People 2 Meet: The 90s
These are the last of the 90s type people that I've wanted
to meet for years, but for various reasons, they've all been
elusive. Given enough time however, I'm sure they can't hide
forever. Louis is far too cleaver for that.

Sylvia
Millecam
She shares her birthday with Doc Martin, so I think I'll
get on with her well when I do get to meet her. After releasing
a single called, "Amsterdam Miks", she's probably
only world famous in the Netherlands. I think she's a totally
funny comedienne and singer. I loved her album, "Lekker
Puh". Now she's a TV presenter on Dutch tellie. My friend
Luuk told me that she used to be a Playboy bunny, so now I
lover her even more!...
Due
to tragic circumstances, I'll have to take Sylvia off
of this list.

MC
Kinky
I love how she incorporated dancehall riddims into house.
She did a lot of stuff with Boy George including the vocals
on the club-hit, "Everything Starts With an 'E'"
for his More Protein record label. It really set the tone
and the style for early 90s cross-over Acid House. Boy George
almost introduced us at the London hotspot, Kinky Gurlinky,
but I got to the club after she left. He said I'd have a chance
to meet her the next time he DJed at Ministry of Sound, but
she never turned up at the club.

DJ
DUKE
I've sort of already met him. My friend Pete brought him
to San Francisco for a party and I thought he was cute and
said "Hi" when Pete introduced us. I was familiar
with his work and told him I liked a couple of his re-mixes.
During his set, he played, "Work That Muther F*cker"
and a really incredible syncopated bell and drum bit that
was awesome. By the time he finished playing, I had gone home
(my ride was tired!). The reason I want to meet him again,
is because my pal Moby told me that he's a sober, queer vegan
(like me!)

Pal
Joey
His music is so lush, and deep. I love the way he brings
in elements like flutes or synth and just plays with their
harmonic structure in a mellow, jazzy style. His mixes are
always so pretty and uplifting. He's done remixes for Dee-Lite
and when I was on tour with them, DJ Dimitri said he would
introduce me to Pal Joey, but the three of us have yet to be
in the same city simultaneously.
