Always ahead of the curve, self-made fruit juice billionaire Johnty Del Monte has been in self isolation since 2008.Speaking via his platinum satellite phone in the Bahamas, JDM said: “These are dark times, and I appreciate not everyone is able to play golf on their yacht.So I thought I’d do what I do best- no, not tinning fruit, but playing records.So here’s a mix to bring some sunshine into your lives. And it’s all killer no filler, there’s no obscure funk 45s on this- I had to chuck them at some French fishermen who were trying to slip stream me in the Bay of Biscay.Anyway, gotta go, I’m supposed to be playing a rave set via Zoom to some pensioners in Tuscany. Stay lucky.”
