Gindrinker pair DC Gates and Graff tackle Quench’s five big questions

What’s the best thing you’ve ever stolen? 

Between you and me I often nick the biscuits intended for the religionprogramme team who use my studio after my programme. Their tea andbiccies are left out in prepartion for them to arrive. I’d like to thinkthat they would take a benign view of my mortal sin.

Maybe

If you could be anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?

Graff: Morrissey.

Do you have any guilty pleasures?

Watching Ar

What would your special powers be if you were a super hero?

DC Gates: The abilty to explode heads, but on second thoughts, that would lead to a lot of jail time. Or the ability to make one’s pint automatically refill. That would be good.

Left-eye Lopez’s tragic demise

Klaxons - Gravity’s Rainbow

Bursting out of the traps like a sprightly ‘Nu Rave’ greyhound is Gravity’s Rainbow. While the band might have since started a cult, popularised glow-sticks and revived indie-dance music, this re-released track is perhaps their finest moment, with thumping drums and a bass line to die for.
