'How I became a secret daytime DJ'

BBC News, 'How I became a secret daytime DJ' "In the 1980s, many British South Asian teenagers were expected to spend evenings at home, so an underground club scene began to emerge in the afternoons. One of the people behind the "daytimer" trend in Bradford, a young DJ called Moey Hassan, told the BBC's Kavita Puri how it began." Taken from the excellent BBC series Three Pounds in My Pocket.
