This month’s guest top ten come from Julian Shepherd. I’ve posted up some of his mixes before and it was good fun helping him with a radio show on Subcity last year. You can follow Julian on twitter.
1. Turning 30 and being genuinely excited about the moment.

3. Hot pickle and shredded pork soup.
4. Kris Van Assche 2013 sunglasses for Linda Farrow.
5. Midori Brass Pens.

15. Wedding invites.
16. That smell in the Chinese supermarket.
17. Ultracity – Bergschrund (Romb)
18. As very funny and memorable birthday presents go, being given a specially hand drawn card and picture from my friends five year old daughter calling me a ‘birthday princess’ before deliberately mooning me twice. Priceless.
19. TNGHT – Higher Ground (Cloudo Happy Hardcore Edit)
20. Investing in those who matter to you and cutting out the users who don’t in return.
21. As a bonus to 20 because we can’t leave the chart on that note, my Mum stocking me up with yet more Acqua Di Parma and rough scouse fishwives talking complete mundanity and still being one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.
This month has been a bit momentous, so I’ve done a top 20 instead of a top ten. It’s roughly in order, but here are the things I have been enjoying this month and it isn’t even finished yet.
