Colin Faver

In the late 1970s/early 1980s, he was part of Final Solution with Kevin Millins, a concert promotion company which presented bands including Throbbing Gristle, New Order, Joy Division, Echo & the Bunnymen, Thompson Twins, A Flock of Seagulls, Bauhaus and Culture Club.

[4] Faver held down residencies at clubs such as Pyramid and Rage at Heaven, The Wag, as well as regular guest slots at clubs such as Shoom (run by fellow Kiss DJ Danny Rampling), Nude at The Haçienda in Manchester, and increasingly travelling around the UK to play at raves especially during the acid house and Second Summer of Love period of 1988/1989.

Both his and fellow DJ Colin Dale's groundbreaking early 1990s shows on the station are regularly credited as being an important education and influence.

[5][6] His Demo DAT section on the show became increasingly important to showcase new and unsigned British material, and it was through this that both Digeridoo by Aphex Twin,[7] and the debut EP by Force Mass Motion would first get played.

Between 1992 and 1993, Faver ran the midweek London techno clubnight Knowledge at the SW1 Club with Jane Howard, partner Brenda Russell, and Colin Dale.
