Real name

Ralph Mignano

DJ name

Ralph Mignano

Where in Somerset are you from?

Weston-super-Mare

How, and why, did you get started?

After partying for some years in out-of-town underground clubs, warehouse parties in the early 90s, and Ibiza in '94 and '95, I decided to invest in my first set of Technics.

With lots of late nights, and a lot of crash, bang, wallop, I finally got the mixing bug to a tee.

I got my first DJ gig at a club in Bridgwater where I was promoted as "Ralph - uplifting celestial house". Celestial became my DJ name for many years.

After that, I got my residency at the legendary Pawlett Manor, where I played for about a year.

Where do you DJ locally?

I am a resident at Housework in Taunton with promoters Matt Thorne and Marcus. I'm also the promoter for Q-bic in Weston-super-Mare.

What's your style?

Like many quality DJs in the scene I play a few different styles: house, hard dance, and hard trance. I've recently been getting into hardstyle.

What do you listen to when you're not DJ-ing?

Well I quite like my rock at the moment so I would have to say I listen to Green Day, Blink 182, Avril Lavigne (grrr) etc, etc.

Who's your fave DJ?

Paul Van Dyke - he is the Daddy.

Where would you most like to play?

Ibiza - this has got to be the ultimate place to want to play.

Finally, tell us some interesting facts about yourself

- I am the owner of a record shop in Weston-super-Mare.
- I have a cocker spaniel called Jeff.
- For the second year running, I'm organising a DJ competiton for DJs around the country to play at Weston Wheels 2005.
- I don't have much hair which is why I wear hats.
