Ian Dewhirst
Mastercuts, UK
This British gentleman, Northern Soul DJ (started 1971) and Good Samaritan saved plenty kids a lot of money. Back when the worldwide glass fiber web was still a twisted idea doing the rounds in the heads of some geeks, plane tickets had to be bought to buy certain records and discover local music styles. So an act of brotherly love was truly needed and Dewhirst was there to allay the thirst. As an initiator of the Mastercuts 'Classic Cuts' compilation series, he flexed his expertise on many a genre. Ranging from reggae and jazz funk to house and disco, Dewhirst compiled and curated not only rare and out-of-the-way songs but also those who really mattered. Further down the re-issue line, he helped founding Simply Vinyl and is the co-owner of Suss'd, revitalizing the Salsoul catalogue. Practice makes perfect!
