Actor Cillian Murphy is a scene stealer and some of his best known roles are villains, such as the scarecrow in “Batman Begins.” However, his Guest DJ set is filled with moments of pure joy. From the “instant hit of summer” provided by Stevie Wonder to the first track he ever learned to play on guitar, he digs into his childhood for some favorites.
