We've Revived Jockey Slut's "Have You Ever Ridden a Horse" Feature

And we've got Artwork, Jasper James, and Andhim in the saddle.

Do you remember, a few weeks ago now, when we wrote about Jockey Slut, the best club culture magazine you probably never got the chance to read? It was good wasn't it. You've probably spent countless sleepless nights trying to outbid each other for old back issues. Maybe.

If you haven't been doing that, then 1) who even are you and 2) don't fret: you can read an updated version of one of the magazine's most beloved regular features right here.

We asked Johnno and the rest of the Slut crew to pick an old favourite and give it a modern rerub. They plumped for the backpage spectacular that was "Have You Ever Ridden a Horse?"—a longstanding feature that got the biggest and best in the world of clubbing to answer a series of intentionally awful questions with often hilarious results. We said, "Johnno, mate, why not pick a few of your favourite contemporary DJs and get them do it?" Johnno said, "Sure thing, THUMP, that sounds great." We said thanks. This is what went down.

What powers would you possess as a super hero?
Being able to stop time everywhere apart from 100 feet around me. That would be handy.

Who would play you in Artwork The Movie?
It has to be Hugh Laurie. I once had my photo taken in an America airport with a group of old dears who thought I was him so I reckon he will do.

When did you last go on a trampoline?
Never been on one, have you seen my legs?

Having a lovely time.

Have you got any nicknames?
I bet I have but I don't know about them.

Have you ever gone AWOL?
One of the worst experiences of that was Miami three or four years ago. My work colleague and I got involved in some fun as soon as we landed and what seemed like three hours was more like three days. Highlights included the tour manager finding us and saying we had to go, so I packed everything I had in my room up and waited proudly by the lobby with my passport in hand, hallucinating heavily. He found me and explained to me that we were not going HOME but to the gig which was the whole point of coming to America. Oh and us getting kicked out of P Diddy's house cos my mate pissed up one of his palm trees.

Have you any Duran Duran records in your collection?
Yes.

When did you buy a nice pair of shoes?
For my mate Plastic Ian's wedding.

Have you ever ridden a horse?
Yes, once in the Lake District. My wife is an ex showjumping champion so she got given a race horse and went of over the hills at 50 miles an hour. I was given "dobin" and had two be lead on a rope by a stable girl who only wanted to talk about JLS for 2 hours. (I got off and walked the last 40 minutes in a huff) never again.

I have always just stuck to basics but one of my pals likes to wear one saying 'I Fuck Nuns'.

None of the above. I usually go for 'absolutely burst', 'heavy mad wae it', 'finished' or 'oot ma nutt'

Have you got any nicknames?
Don't think so. None that I'm aware of anyway.

Have you ever gone AWOL?
I got excluded from high school because I 'dogged' it so much and at university I wasn't much better. Still never missed a gig though and don't think I ever will, unless something is completely out my hands.

Have you any Duran Duran records in your collection?
I don't, but if I ever needed any I'm sure Jackmaster has tons.
