Pulling Faces on my Birthday (lol)

At the moment I am in my apartment in Ibiza and I am feeling restless and cannot sleep and I bet most of you are thinking the reason being is because my veins are pumped with narcotics but the fact of the matter is my mind is working over time. It is 0423 here in Ibiza and it is June 26^th 2008 and I am in 2 minds about staying here as a resident, as much as I fucking love the place I think it was a little optimistic to think that I could just turn up here with hardly any notice and expect to work everywhere without giving the clubs and promoters any notice, of course I have played at a few wicked places already but its just not as regular and well paid enough for me to survive on this island, and even though lots of people have been promising me gigs later on in the season I am finding it hard to survive now due to the fuck up with the cunts in Shanghai, and now too add to things the person who I am sharing with seems to be a bit of a schizophrenic, one minute she is cool the next I am her worst enemy, all she does is moan about her not used with other people and I am getting blamed for using her hair straighters which I don’t know how to even use, she moans at sharing toilet roll “which I bought”, moisturising cream which I have my own, a cigarette which I had off her without asking but its ok for her to smoke mine “tell you what she is tighter than Bruce Lees physique”, and that’s it and now she says she wants me to move out for these ridiculously petty accusations lol, I personally think it is due to her night that she is promoting here for Soul Heaven & Louie Vega as its not even really pulling a wank but hey it is not my fault.  I have thoroughly enjoyed myself here as I have seen a lot of my old friends here and it is good to see and feel the Ibiza atmosphere which China lacks so much, I have been away from my UK home for over 7 months now and I am thinking to go back and to sort my life out and just fly over here to Ibiza every so often, since my mother passed away in December my life has been nothing but a learning curve and nothing is more important to me than being happy with my friends and family, I have not even seen my mothers grave stone yet but I am sure I will crack up when I go visit it as do still cry about her passing away now as it has been the hardest thing for me to deal with and that’s probably the main reason why I have been gallivanting around the world. I am so looking forward to seeing my beautiful dogs Bud & Shiva as they are the best things that I have ever had a part of, but also I cannot wait to see all my proper friends who I have known for years and I love and miss to bits. Though I am in Ibiza now and I have got Brazil in August I am going to take a break from touring internationally as I want to concentrate on my career in the UK wither it is in the studio making beats, or my career as a Dj or just spending time with my family and friends which I have taken for granted all my life, I look back at my life and I have been a selfish shit and it is sad to say that it does take things like this before you realise but by then it is too late. I have so much in the pipeline that I cannot stress to you how much work I have to do in the future but there is a lot of interesting projects that I have coming up but I will keep you posted as and when, but then again I might think fuck it and stay in this beautiful island as I adore it so much. A little teaser into my future includes lots of music production, a new residency, charity events, promoting new excellent music and living life as we know it.

Right I have been here for almost 2 weeks now, and I am falling in love with the place even more, most the people here are on my wave length musically and mentally although I am not really playing at the correct venues for my sound that I am pushing, every DJ that I have given our tracks too have given good feedback and have been supporting which is good, since I have been here I have partied quite hard as it was my birthday on June 20^th and I had a day time poolside party at Es Vive and an after party at Es Vives naughty secret club which was fucking awesome as I actually played what I wanted which was a treat, it was nice to see the usual industry bods there enjoying themselves. In the short space of time of being here I have ventured into some awesome clubs and listened to some great Djs but to be honest I have not heard anything outstandingly brilliant but then again I could be biased as I know our sound that I am pushing is something special, but the clubs I have visited have included Space, Pacha, Amnesia, El Divino, Bora Bora, and a few naughty villa parties which to be fair have ruined me. I have lots on the pipeline so I will keep you posted. But believe, me I have some naughty sets coming up at some very naughty hotspots, so please do not hesitate in contacting me if you’re coming over as these parties will be a secret and for those in the know. Till next time, ciao x

I have now landed on the magical white island of Ibiza after a growling 20 hour flight from Shanghai, but to be honest I am happy to be out of there as much as I love Shanghai but the club I initially worked for “The Wall” was easily the messiest and worst organised club I have ever experienced in my life and I have been in this industry for over 15 years now, and yes they paid me 13k of the 45k that they owed me fucking jokers, but I hear its closing anyway if not already. I am tonight playing at a new venue called “Martina’s Discothèque” which is based in Playa Da Bossa and is set to be the islands new best kept secret for the people in the know.Just being on this island puts a smile on my face being in the clean sunny air with the sea breeze, and all the beautiful people which are everywhere, and with my apartment on the beach which my good friend Martina found, what else could I ask for, I would prefer to have no money and be happy and true rather than having lots of money and being unhappy and fake with fake friends who would use you and stab you in the back. I must admit it will probably be hard tonight as there is a few launch parties going on including ours at Martina’s, but I am sure everyone will have a fabulous time never the less as it is hard to have a bad time on this wonderful island. At the moment I am helping Louie Vega with his new venture out here which he has taken Sundays at El Divino which will prove to be a very popular event here especially for the true house music lovers. I have been here one day and already I have seen a few of my fellow usual suspect Djs around the island, next week is my birthday and I will be celebrating it in true Ibiza style as I will be spinning and partying at Kidology at Es Vive and Pacha. I will keep you up to date with my schedule and I will post my write up for the Chinese magazine on here before I send it for publishing but believe me it’s a good funny read as I am not holding back with the information and people will get what they deserve. Till next time guys, peace and love Ciao x

Right I have now accomplished my 6 wonderful months here in China; I have truly had a wonderful time here and the place has opened my eyes to life but now its time for me to leave Shanghai for the magical white island of Ibiza.

I have met so many wonderful people here but also so many wankers as you get everywhere, there are always a few bad eggs wherever you go. This last weekend on the Friday I played my last Shanghai set at Attica which was pretty cool and the comments I received all night were more than really nice and I appreciated everyone who came up and said hi.Saturday I jumped on a plane a took a 2 hour flight to Jinan to pay at Cinderella which I got to say is for me it is Chinas best club to play at as there dancefloor literally bounces, and the crowd are so receptive to the sound track that is given to them. I have produced three tracks here in Shanghai which I have uploaded on my space, only “Deadly Groove” has been mastered but I think you get the general feel of them. Right I have one week left here in Shanghai and that will consist of me chasing money again from messy club operators, studio production, saying bye to friends and packing for Ibiza, and I have now one last gig to do in Hangzhou with my good friend Dj Tam. I tell you what the guys at “The Wall” actually really owe around 45k and now they are trying to palm me off with 13k due to them saying that’s it is my responsibility to pay for the Dj flights which I have never ever done before, and also they deducted money from my wages as ended up forking out for the Djs hotels too as well as entertaining them, I mean come on!I have booked around 12 Djs for this venue and just so happens the week before I leave they say this shit only because I am leaving and the stupid bitch cannot take that I don’t lick her ass like the rest of her staff, but the club is more or closed anyway so they should stop being so typical Chinese and get a fucking life oh and a decent plastic surgeon and dentist as I think she’s been beaten up with an ugly stick and she has a personality of a something that I tread on like a piece of shit or something, seriously you could mould clay as ugly as her. Anyway guys you can read all properly about it in an article that I am doing for a local magazine here as it will be up on there website next month, so I will keep u posted and give you the links ASAP. Anyway enough bitching “for now” but I know you fuckers like me bitching, but I have every right too don’t you think? Anyway till next time slackers Peace x
