3/ Tell Us About Your First Musical Memory - Why Do You Think You Remember It?
My sisters used to listen to lot of pop music in the 80s when I was a kid. So my first memories are from pop artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elton John or Simon and Garfunkel. These kind of people were my first listenings!
4/ Who Did You Make Your First Mixtape / Playlist For - What Was The Result - Did They Dig It?

6/ Tell us about the name of your Playlist - where did that come from?
Music to a strange night. The name came from one night in Oporto which was particularly strange. kind of like a Scorsese after hours movie. It got me thinking that there ought to be a soundtrack for those kind of moments!
7/ What does a track have to have to make it onto your list, is there something special that you look for?
Well, for this list I am looking for music that paints some mysterious atmosphere. Intriguing voices or dreamy ones (in female case) and transporting melodies.
8/ What can an artist do in their track submission to your list to ensure that you'll listen to their track?
That they understand the concept behind the playlist - that's it's about strangeness - if they can give me a good explanation as to why the track would fit - I will listen.
