Back in July 2003 I caught up with two mates Warren Cate and Steven Giannoulis who I knew loved music as much as I did so I suggested we get together over some beers and play our favourite songs. Well we did and then we got together over the coming months and years to create what I think are still some of the best playlists around. In fact our story ended up in a music magazine. Join us as we revisit these old days and highlight the themes we came up with and the songs that we loved at the time.
