Ahead of this year's edition of his infamous tracksuit party, Tom Olesen asks 5 questions of...Tayo.

So you get to the big gig in the sky. Who's on the line-up? 

Prince, Funkadelic, Public Enemy, Flaming Lips. Oh and Meatloaf. Rock Opera is underrated. Gilles Peterson, Derrick Carter and Frank "Dope" Tope on the decks. My favourite DJ's ever.

If you were stuck on a desert island with just the one record for company what'd it be

I have never got bored of the Stone Roses first album. It feels like my musical awakening and it reminds me of getting pissed in the long grass at 14 and kissing girls.

Favourite club in London?

Black's on Dean Street. A private members club. Always nice to pass an evening in. For dancing etc. I'd say Plastic People.

Favourite place to eat?

St John's in Clerkenwell, Paradise by way of Kensal Green, Mangals in Dalston. Mum's house for Nigerian cooking.

What are the best and worst things about living in London?

Best - Arsenal Football Club, Brockwell Park, the jukebox in the Shakespeare pub in Stoke Newington, the South Bank, Brixton Market. Street-smart, sexy, fashionable people. The fact that no one really bats an eyelash whatever you do, say, or wear.

Worst - Tottenham High Road, Oxford Street...Not much else. I love it here. Born, bred, and watered here. I'm always ready to come home whenever a holiday, gig, or trip is over.
