Best of 2012: Graeme Park

Name: Graeme Park
Location: The North

Dimitri: Can you tell us how 2012 has been for the development of your career as a DJ and/or Producer?

Graeme: I’ve been celebrating The Haçienda’s 30th Anniversary all year with some amazing gigs in the UK, Europe and around the world.  Considering the club closed its doors in 1997, there is still such a lot of love and support for The Haçienda.  The year ends with me doing a 7 hour set at our annual Christmas party at Sankeys in Manchester on 27th December.

Dimitri: If you look back at 2012, are there any moments in your musical career that you wish you had done differently in order to get a better outcome?: 

Graeme:  I wouldn’t change a thing.

Best Track:

Forever This (Sneak 'Forever' Remix) by Fries & Bridges is such a feel good vibe that samples the addictive guitar riff from Jerry Butler's soul classic "Whatever's Fair" and builds and builds and builds before bringing a smile to your face when the amazing, soaring vocal hits you right between the eyes.  This is what house music is all about.
