Karma Roma

Hope everyone's having a fine weekend. I've just about recovered from Fabric on Thursday night ... a big thank you goes out to everyone who stuck around to the close - was dead chuffed to see so many people doing just that :)

Today I'm off to Roma to play at Qube - can't wait to play in Italy again as it's been years & years since I played the legendary Agatha club & it's gonna be fascinating to see what the good people are into. Will report back on Monday, when 'Party Phenomenon' is also released on Beatport ... this is the first track from the Revamped project to get a full digital release. Exciting times!

Breakspoll @ Fabric tonight

Hopefully will run into a lot of familiar faces at Fabric tonight for the Breakspoll party. If you are coming down then PLEASE try to pace yourselves (yeah right!) as I'm not on until 5am, closing out Room One, and I'd be gutted if my Room One debut was to a handful of weary bar-staff and a couple of corpses :)

(Only kidding - do what u gotta do)

See you down the front anyhow, and once again I was thrilled to get nominated for Best Producer and Best Single this year so many many thanks to everyone who voted for me (and Mark).

Manchester - a big thank you!

Just wanted to quickly thank everyone for coming out to play on Saturday night at the U&A night in Manchester. The Lowdown & Dirty crew did a great job in promoting the night & dressing the venue, VJ Air supplied some great visuals (although they couldn't be showcased in all their glory because the venue is still under construction it's that new!) and everyone who played did a superb job ... many thanks on that score to Resistance, Steve Thorpe and Meat Katie for smashing it.

Last but not least, you, the crowd, were AWESOME. Look out for more U&A nights in the very near future....

Revamped Vinyl#2 : Test Pressings Sell Out / Vinyl Released Monday

The test Pressings actually sold out in 15 minutes yesterday before I'd even had a chance to post up in the News section on here!

The track 'M.A.D.' has been an absolute mainstay of my DJ sets over the past year or so, and on Monday, for the first time it's being released to genpop along with the hitherto unheard re-working of The Propellerheads' 'Take California' and a ferocious dubstepbreaks re-fix of Datsik & Excision's massive 'Calypso'. You can check these now in the player up top ^^^^

All time 10-in-10-minutes mix for 'The Remix' on XFM

Something very different for you here and a project I had a lot of fun (and head-scratching) in putting together for The Remix, Eddy Temple-Morris's excellent long-running show 'The Remix' on XFM.

The brief was simple - to create a 10-minute mix featuring a minimum of 10 of your ALL-TIME favourite songs (from any genre). Once I started to get my head around it I was gutted by how many tracks I wanted to include but failed to find the time or space ... as it was I managed to fit 30 of my all-time favourite tracks in there.
