Rebel RadioThe Captains of Industry: How to keep it funHere’s what I love about Graham Funke and Stone Rokk:
They’re great DJs, even if sometimes I don’t like the selection. “I play bad music well,” Graham says.
They don’t take themselves too seriously, even when being outspoken and controversial. "I have a bit of a sociopath streak in me,” Stone Rokk tells me.
